Today is My 5 Year Bloggiversary: Full Circle

May 31, 2011

Five years ago today I wrote my first post on this blog, little more than a series of photos from Memorial Day at the lake house of some dear friends. My love of photography has remained the same. Thankfully the equipment—and hopefully the skills—have improved. Five years and 1,154 posts later we were back at [...]

Atlanta Blogger Lunch at Wendy’s Featuring the New Berry Almond Chicken Salad

May 30, 2011

Saturday afternoon my family met a group of Atlanta bloggers and their families to try Wendy’s new Berry Almond Chicken Salad, a fresh new menu item containing strawberries, blueberries, almonds, shaved Asiago cheese, and raspberry vinaigrette dressing.

Camera Phone Friday #13

May 27, 2011

There’s nothing unlucky about posting my 13th camera phone collage on a Friday! Link up your camera phone photos at the bottom of this post. Apparently this week I was insanely Instagrammatic (a perfect acceptable made-up word): 21 Instagrammed pictures for the week. There are over 2200 images on my phone now. I import them [...]

May 26, 2011

This morning I took my three youngest girls to visit Warbington Farms to pick fresh strawberries. It’s been years since we’ve gone strawberry picking: it was during a break between games at an out-of-town baseball tournament; our youngest wasn’t even born. The weather was breezy and the berries were ripe. Extras like a petting zoo, [...]

Catching Up (and a word about a great Lightroom plugin)

May 24, 2011

Prayer Before the Game I’ve been talking a lot about camera photography—camera phonography—lately, but you may have noticed an absence of any other photos. I’m highly dependent on Jeffrey Friedl’s Lightroom to Flickr plugin—more than dependent, flat out spoiled. My plugin quit working unexpectedly in April, so…no new camera photos to Flickr, which means none [...]

May 22, 2011

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. ~ Galatians 5:13 May your Sunday be rich with faith and family and full of opportunities to serve others.

Fear of Failure, Fear of Flying

May 21, 2011

I have a bit of that first-born overachiever mentality about me (okay, maybe more than a bit) and do my best to avoid failure. I almost didn’t start putting a linky with my weekly camera phone posts: What if no one participated? What if someone else was doing the same thing, only better? (with the [...]
