February is over already! It always seems like such a short month...
Tonight was Dinner & A Movie night showing "The Mask of Zorro" and Mexican food, complete with homemade gluten-free tortillas (*sigh*) and from-scratch flan (amazing Kristin made the flan-- or, phlem).
So here's the flan in all it's golden glory before I consumed it.

One more day 'til the end of February!  I spent a lot of time playing music today, so in honor of music, here's the piano.  However, I did not play the piano today.  It's very out of tune.

I am done with boxes of dye. (Thank God! you might say...) Speaking of God, he made me blonde, so I guess I'll try to stay that way.

Today a tiny stowaway was discovered in a new shipment of bromeliads.  He was kind enough to pose still and tilt his head just enough to get a good profile shot.

Here's the snow!  Self-portrait (sort of).

I am starting a new photography project today, an idea occurring when I was doing my Bible study homework for the day.  I will be doing a series on Isaiah 26:3, "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in you."  Each photo will be a reflection of different definitions of the Hebrew words in the verse.  Sound complicated?  Today's photo is my interpretation of the Hebrew for perfect peace: shalom "to be safe, be complete... a satisfied condition, a state of peacefulness, a sense of well being...."

So will tomorrow's photo be of snow?  It's 11:30 pm now and the white stuff is falling already...

I think there are going to be many photos of flowers posted on this blog.  My two favorite things to photograph are people and up-close flowers.  Daffodils defy the impending snow storm approaching the Northwest with their unbearable eternally positive mood.

Had a creative photo shoot this afternoon to showcase some very long hair.  Contact me to book your own creative portraits to remember this time in your life, wherever you're at, with whomever your with, and whichever canine or feline companion lives out their days with you.  I'd love to capture your life in photos!

Fifty days of photos! A beautifully clear day faded into a contented evening, deer grazed under the restful twilight.  I flicked on the left hand blinker and made a u-turn to remember this image.

What a wonderful day to celebrate life! I think that we should send our moms birthday presents when it's our birthday.  They're the ones who are the heroes and went through all the pain!  So here's to you, Mom! Thanks for bringing me into the world!

 

I have a new favorite restaurant: Stanford's.  They made me a complementary creme brulee (FABULOUS)!

This morning I awoke to ginormous (real word?) snowflakes dancing through the sky.  My giant fluff dog was leaping out of his fur to get outside, until he realized it was mushy out.

 

(p.s. I changed a setting for comments, so please try to leave one so I know if it's working. Thanks!)

AAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Self-evaluation is all a part of breaking free.

(p.s. I've had some followers tell me that their comments either aren't being posted or are disappearing. So, if you read this, please leave me a comment on this post.  I'll try to adjust some security settings.)

Happy Love Day!  Even if you don't have a romantic love in your life (or perhaps you do), just know that there's someone who loves you more than you can ever imagine!

Flowers from a sweet friend today...

Sometimes in life, you have to let someone else take care of things and just step aside for a little bit.  So, when my roommate said, "By the way, I'm making dinner for us tonight," I said okay. It was amazing.

Tonight brings frantic practice of unknown music; tomorrow brings a new step in the continuing passion of known music. At 7 a.m. Goodnight!

All artists of all mediums can acknowledge that not everyone will appreciate their art. Hence, photographers know that not everyone will either enjoy or cooperate with their photo being taken.  Especially if it's your boss.

Discovered today that I'm willing to say goodbye to life as I know it because my heart is longing for something more. 
The language of God is silence.
1 Kings 19:11-12, "Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake, and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of sheer silence."
Psalm 46:10, "Be silent, and know that I am God!"

SPRING.  (In a little voice: "But why are my feet still cold?")
