Evening Glow

Well, seriously, these pictures do not do this sunset justice as how I saw it in person.  You just have to believe me.  Click on the image to improve the over all beauty!

When I give, I give myself.

Christmas Lights Ditto... just like my neighbor!

Okay, so I did not take this photo, but received it in an email and thought it was quite clever! I just had to share "christmas lights ditto." I had a neighbor that went all out for the Christmas light decorations and was always tempted to do this myself but never got up the courage to go through with it! I LOVE THIS!

When it's cold outside…warmth is found in the heart.

Holy Stained Glass!

I think that this is such a cool photo of the stained glass with the silhouette of the heads of people in front of it. I did not have my fancy camera with me but the iPhone did it justice for what it is worth. Can I hear an Amen?

The family is a haven in a heartless world.

Jack Frost was here

This image I took after there was a heavy frost on the ground.  The morning sun was coming up so I decided to go outside and set the camera on a paver stone that was sunk in the gound.  I was hoping to catch a little Jack Frost on the blades of grass.  I did not get down on my hands and knees to take the picture.  I did bend over and grunt while trying to take a peek at the display on the camera.  As I was grunting, I did get a few shots of the frost and I did not notice the droplet of water but thought somehow that the droplet of water was on my camera lens not on the blade of grass.  When I downloaded the images, I realized it was not on my lens but actually on a blade of grass.  It's the simplicity of the one single dew drop with the reflection of the grass in the droplet make it a grand photo for me!  I totally love it!  Click on the images to see the detail of both!

Dainty Daisy

Amazing how beauty is missed until it is cropped and zoomed in on.  Love the colors against the white!

Be yourself.  No one can ever tell you you're doing it wrong.

Eats like a bird!

Eats like a bird typically means that "you're eating very little".... but wow, these birds were having a feast this morning when I took these shots.  While I was visiting a good friends house for a girls weekend....many of the girls that were there got to witness a CSD individual in action!  I'm sure they think I am a nut case. I ruined a sweatshirt when leaning over the kitchen countertop to take the photos.....I did not realize there was a bowl of tomato sauce with no lid on!  Shirt shmirt..... oh well!  Ya win some, you loose some. If anyone can help me out with the types of birds in the pictures, that would be awesome!
