I took this photo Monday evening as the sun began to set. It isn’t your typical sunset photo, but I loved the spotty clouds drifting across the sky.

Days are finally feeling longer; I get to enjoy a bit of sunlight as I head home.

Photo of the Day: Scentsy Shadows

I love, love, love this Scentsy warmer I got for Christmas. Sometimes I turn it on right before bed just to watch the “bird” shadows flicker on the wall.

(By the way, I have a friend who is donating 25% of Scentsy sales to my 2013 Relay For Life team. I’ve already raised $400! If you want to place an order, you go do so here. Just click Relay For Life Fundraiser.)

Project 52 Week 26: Country Lovin’

On July 9, 2012 By LindyIn nature, photography7 Comments

Thursday evening I ventured out around sunset to capture some photos. I was feeling down on luck when a baby calf and pony weren’t in a field I’d seen them in earlier in the week, so I shot some disappointing photos of corn fields. And then … I came upon this. Perfection.

Project 52 Week 21: On the Road Again …

This past week, my husband and I took a road trip with another couple to North Carolina & South Carolina. We had an amazing trip! We just got back last night, so I obviously haven’t sorted through all my photos yet, but here are just a few of my favorites. As you can see, we had quite the mixture of activities throughout our trip.

During a hike to Grotto Falls in Great Smoky Mountain National Park, we saw a guy with a pack of lamas transporting supplies to a hike-in resort. We couldn’t have arrived at a more perfect time to capture this moment.

We experienced the perfect sunrise on the Sullivan’s Island beach in South Carolina.

Project 52 Week 16: Bringing the Ocean to Missouri

I was beyond excited when the SEALife Aquarium opened in Kansas City just a few weeks ago. Considering I live in almost the most landlocked city in the United States, this was a big deal. So visiting it this weekend was a great way to celebrate my birthday with family. (A friend of mine just took her one-year-old daughter to the aquarium for her birthday, too. I wonder what having the same birthday party as a one-year-old says about me?) I had a great time taking photos, but as usual, I couldn’t narrow it down to just one. Do you have a favorite?

My favorite fish in the entire aquarium was this little Picasso Triggerfish. (Or in Hawaiian, it's called the humuhumunukunukuapuaa fish.)

Day 270: Morning Commute

Another reason I like this time of year … I get to see the sunrise every morning on my way to work.

The sun rises behind the Broadway Bridge, just north of downtown Kansas City.

Day 256: Sunset Silhouette

After playing around with my 50 mm lens yesterday evening, this was my favorite image of the night. I’ll be traveling for work the next few days, so I’ll post photos after I return.
