Tell Me A Story: The Journey
It's Contest Time! This week I want you to tell me a story. Use as many or as few words as you want, as long as your story is between 1 and 1,000 words. Is less more or are more words better? You'll have to decide! The theme for your short story is The Journey. Use...
The Green Beast
In honor of St. Patrick's Day I thought I would share with you one of my favorite green things. Meet The Green Beast, my 2009 Harley Davidson Nightster. Isn't he a beaut?! I took this photograph one warm August afternoon several years back. When I look it I can still...
Small Town Heart
Most of you know by now that I'm a small town girl, and I love it. Small towns have that special something that you can't find anywhere else no matter how hard you look. It's something that can't be manufactured or made up. What is this special something? It's hard to...
The Playless Playground
Two days ago I twirled on green grass, arms wide open, eyes closed tight, and head flung back to catch the sunny rays that warmed my face. Today I have a blanket wrapped around my waist, fuzzy fingerless gloves keeping my hands cozy, and the world's softest socks on...
The Muck in the Murk
Last Saturday started out like any other. Dad and I took a little drive to the next big town over to drool over handguns and see if they had anything we needed. The trip wasn't a total bust. They had one of the handguns I had my eye on at the indoor shooting range and...
The Shadow in the Shade
What was that? Was something out there, or was it just my imagination running wild again? My curiosity got the best of me; I grabbed my cell phone to check the backyard security camera. Was something there, creeping around the edge of the shadows? I couldn't quite...
The Delicate Flower
Not all stories are exciting or extravagant. So is the case with today's story. It's a simple story of great beauty. It was the last day of July and it was hot. Some of the prettiest flowers bloom in full sun at the height of summer. No matter the heat, I just can't...
A Fine Feathered Family
My deepest apologies for being absent for so long; concussions stink! Now that I'm out of my dark little hole, I'm excited to share with you the story behind one of my favorite photographs. When you're photographing wildlife, it's always an adventure. You can't...
The Cheerful Flowers
Hello Friend! Just popping in to say I'm going dark for a while. On Sunday I tripped and fell in my driveway and hurt myself pretty badly. I have a concussion and pretty bad whiplash from my head bouncing off the concrete, among other milder injuries. It has been a...
The Lambeau Salute
It's no secret that I'm a huge Green Bay Packers fan; they're my team. Really they are, I own stock in The Pack so I can say that! I'll never forget the first Packers game I went to. It was Christmas and when it was my turn to open presents I had to open them in a...
