September in my kitchen
September 10, 2009
I'm up to my eyeballs these days in school planning and organization. It's that time of year when we bring the learning indoors a bit more. The kids are definitely ready for the change. It's time. I gave up my writing time this afternoon to spend an extra hour at ...
Labor Day photography at Reid State Park
September 9, 2009
Our fun in the sun and surf... We came to this same beach last year at this time. My camera was brand new and every photo I took was a delight. This time around was just as fun playing with my new polarizer. It's the "magic" that helps me photograph ...
