So, I’m a landscape kinda girl at heart. I love natural scenes, and I love to photograph them. But around this time of year, it can start to get a little rough to photograph the lush, and somewhat over-grown landscape of the Pacific Northwest. Sometimes it just looks like a big leafy mess. Do you have this issue, too? Well, … Continue reading »
Can I be honest with you? Some ideas sound better on paper than in practice. These tacos may fall into the “better on paper” category. It all sounded right when I conceptualized it but … I don’t know. Something about them just didn’t quite sing for me. But Husband enjoyed them (he had seconds!) and it may have … Continue reading »
It’s Mother’s Day in America and as is the tradition, I brought flowers. I’m blessed to know many incredible mothers (I’ll bet you do too), and every day they inspire me in so many ways.

There’s no better combo than eggs and chorizo (a spiced Spanish sausage) if you ask me. Throw in some veggies and cheese and I’m … Continue reading »

I have a lot to learn, that is certain. These photos are from my first outing with my new equipment. A trip to the park with my … Continue reading »
… on the road again … That’s right, once again we’re headed a few hours down the road to Oregon. So I’m gonna keep this short and sweet and get right to the pictures! … April 20 – Book I’m still writing my book. I have a lot of blank pages, but I’m on my … Continue reading »
In taking my tulip pictures this year, I found myself very drawn to the incredible inside colors and designs. Especially when I returned to the gardens in the bright sun. Sometimes I feel like the tulip can seem like a rather simple flower. (That’s one of the things I love most about it.) But then you … Continue reading »
