Fairytale

Fairytale

I was playing with shadows and I thought the way the flowers ended up across my head looked like a crown of flowers straight out of a fairytale.

Calm Before The Storm

Calm Before the Storm

I took this picture this morning on the way to class and it was just the start of a not so good day. Not that a lot of stuff bad happened, just not enough good...

A Change In The View

A Change in the View

I see this every Mon-Fri and I have always thought it looked plain and kinda strange but this morning it looked kind of pretty. It's amazing what a tilt of the head, a change in the view can do.

Forward Motion

Forward Motion

This is just the hymnals in the pews at my church.
This speaks to me because of the quote mostly.
I've been having a hard time lately and going to church and really listening is my step.

Growing Up

Growing Up

The title is for two reasons, I was looking around my back yard trying to find something to photograph and with the wind blowing and the swings moving I was reminded of when I was little and I used to swing on them. They look different now since they are attached to the tree and not that old playset but then that got me thinking about how that tree hasn't even been there that long really.
I'm growing up and so is my environment. And although the current view isn't always as green or bright as I wish it was, it's still beautiful.

Lazy Days

Lazy Days

My dog was just laying around all day and looked especially cute.
