talents

I have this friend.

I've known him, and his wife, since the late 1990s.

we went to college together.

He is pursuing his passion - music.

over March Break he held a house concert in the area.

it was a good night.

He is using the talents that God has chosen to bless him with.

She has grown into her eyes, but she is still captivating.

Dear Dakota.

i thank God for you every day.

you are full of giggles waiting to escape.

you long to be as big as daddy and mommy, 

but please don't grow up too fast.

i pray for you to grow closer to Him each day.

Winter walk: blue

on the weekend i had a chance to take a walk out back.

just me, the dog and my camera.

what a great walk it was.

i got to play with my camera settings.

my goals:

1. to capture the sparkle of the sun off the snow.

2. to capture the bold shadows.

my christmas gift from my husband.

loved these troopers.  hanging on for dear life.

i took this purely because it was a white and a yellow birch.  i'm a geek.

look at the stars on the snow.

"See ya later."
