90/365 Waterdrop Macro


So I love seeing these really cool photos people do of water droplets and since I have a macro lens now I figured I would give it a try. I quickly learned it is a whole lot harder than it looks and I obviously need a tutorial of some sort...

89/365


My love/hate relationship with running continues with my 1/2 marathon 4 weeks away. My magnetic board in the workout room tells it all...

87/365 Savannah


Trying to get back on track with taking my photos again every day. This time last week, our 11 year old friend, Savannah, who I've mentioned on here before, lost her battle to cancer and gained her angel wings. She had been battling an aggressive soft tissue cancer for over five years and just a month ago was placed on hospice care as there was no other treatment available for her. It's been an emotional time for us, since we have known her since she was four years old, and my heart is just completely broken for her family.

One thing you could say about Savannah was that she lived! Her family made sure that she experienced life to the fullest and made every moment count. She was always happy, smiling, and laughing. She loved to dance and loved anything to do with fashion and bright colors. Her casket had a large tied died peace sign on it and these earrings of my daughters reminded me of that today. I took a picture of them because they reminded me of Savannah and they made me smile.

We love you, Savannah! And we know that heaven is a much brighter place with you in it!

81/365 Spring day



The kids and I spent the morning touring the home and grounds of President Andrew Jackson here in Hermitage. It was really interesting and a beautiful spring day!

80/365 Fun spring colors


Loving these cute and colorful lanterns I got from Pier One and just put out on my front porch today.

77, 78 and 79/365 Getting caught up







The kids have been away all week with spring break and because of that my routine has been really disrupted. I haven't posted for several days but have taken my pictures every day. Mainly we have been out and about enjoying the spring weather and colors. We went on a historic plantation tour on Saturday that ended with a wine tasting and then on Sunday we visited our favorite local winery for a relaxing afternoon of wine and a little music!
