It’s the weekend!! Welcome to week 6 of the 52-week creative growth challenge. I originally was going to do portraits, but my husband was in need of some headshots, so, we improvised. We are going to dive into the past, to when the hubbs and I were dating. Once upon a time, early in the…
Photography Project with 52 Weeks of Creative Growth, Week 5 Spring
This week in our 52-week project, I chose Spring as the theme… and so it seems appropriate since the first day of Spring is this week!

Photography Project with 52 weeks of Creative Growth, Week 4 Negative Space
I purposely chose this week’s subject as a follow up to my last blog post. I am in an amazing space currently working intently on my personal growth journey. I am pushing and challenging myself.

Photography Project with 52 weeks of Creative Growth, Week 3 Black and White
Happy Saturday Morning. I’m sitting here sipping my espresso while listening to my husband practice guitar. This week has been a busy one with a lot of mixed emotions both sadness and excitement.

Do you have a bucket list trip? Not just spending time in the sun on a beach, but a multi-faceted vacation full of adventure? Well… my husband and I had one… and we lived it… it was wonderful and miserable. It was relaxing and strenuous. It was more than we expected, both good and bad. …
Patches goes to Zion, part 3 of Utah series
We wanted to go to Zion National Park while in Utah, knowing that we could not do much hiking with Patches with us. We drove the 4-5 hours to get to Zion. On the way there was several beautiful sites and overlooks. We took Utah’s scenic route 12, and I highly recommend spending some time…
Patches and his humans take a roadtrip to Utah, part 2
Day 2 into the Moab, Utah trip, we set out to see Arches National Park. Since we are visiting several National parks in one trip, it made sense to purchase the annual National parks passes. We had planned ahead because reservations are required if visiting April 1-October 31 at Arches National Park. Visitors are required…
