Since I didn’t get a Spring shot yesterday on the vernal equinox, I decided today to take a trip on my lunch break around the grounds of the Gamble House, a beautifully restored Greene & Greene Craftsman home near where I work.
The sun was too bright to get any architecture shots. (Believe me, I [...]

For my Day 21 shot for the 30 Day Photo Challenge, I had great plans of taking a beautiful photograph outdoors to welcome Spring. Alas, it was raining most of today here. And although I braved the rain yesterday for my photo, I didn’t feel like doing it again. So that brought me to [...]

So I’m doing REALLY bad this year.  I can give the normal “too busy” excuse, but really, I haven’t had any time to focus (no pun intended) on photography other than the normal kid snapshots.  I have some photos to post, but they’re not that great.  I’ll get them up when I find time to [...]

Because I forgot to take a picture yesterday, here is a bonus shot from the Simpson family archives. I present my husband, Shayne and his family, circa 1987. Shayne is the handsome junior higher in the red vest. And yes, I was in my freshman year at college when this was [...]
