30 Days – Day 23: Progress

I am grateful for the progress I have made with regards to my photography and finding ways to make money doing it.  I have invested a lot of time in the photography itself, but finally spent the money to put together what I needed to sell.  Six months ago, I made exactly $0 on my…

30 Days – Day 2: Love

Today’s photo prompt is “love”. I took this photo, and I think it is love. Why love? Three years ago, we lost a family member who we still very much love.  Bob was so fucking awesome.  Our hearts were heavy – a part seemed missing  – like we needed to do something. We walked into…

Day 20 – Failed Photo Trip

I still have lavender going nuts in my yard.  So, I thought I would go to the local growers and wander their fields and take the amazing photos I did last year.  Good plan, especially since the girls and I were at loose ends as G was working on the bus.  We wandered out there…

Days 16-19 – Back to Reality

Four days and three nights at the coast with SB. Bliss. Best way to describe it. Downtime – reading – no computer access or phone access – just the moment.  It was perfect. Before I left – I made homemade pizza.  The girls had peppers and pepperoni.  We had spicy sausage, peppers, mushrooms and nectarine….

Day 15 – Onto The Semi-Finals!

I am a season ticket holder for the Portland Thorn – the women’s professional soccer league that is in its second year. Last year, The Thorn won the championship. This year has been rocky.  They have a team with the FIFA Female Player of the year – Nadine Angerer, who is also a German National…

Day 14 – Tree

Seems like something simple to shoot – but sometimes the simplest things turn out the best. I actually went to this park because it has a spectacular oak you can kinda see on the right side of the shot. But I always forget there are two other huge walnut trees there too with amazing branches….

Day 11 & 12 & 13 – Catch Up

We went to my favorite brewery the other night for a release party.  They partnered with Pelican Brewing to create a hybrid of sorts.  It was quite yummy – a perfect combo of the different styles into a beer that was drinkable and perfect for summer.  Even G drank it. Not too hoppy – not…

Day 10 – Vroom Vroom

G bought a new engine for his 1974 VW Bus.  He bought it months ago, and he and Indigo went to retrieve it in CA about 2 months ago.  Driving down and back and staying overnight cost less than shipping, so he did it.  Then was begged for extra parts he may have – so…
