Random Monday Moment

Surprised? That's why it's called a "random" Monday moment. Because you never know when they'll show up! I know it's been approximately.....forever.....since I blogged. But I'm going to try to get back in the habit. No promises though...I still want to surprise you once in a while.

Here's today's random moment. Getting the oats for our horses cut.

Daffodils Make My Heart Sing!

I love daffodils! To me they are a sign of hope...that brighter things are ahead...warmth...sunshine...new possibilities...they put a smile on my face and a song in my heart.

Winter Waterfall

Yesterday was a great day out exploring and shooting for fun with my dear friend Kim. We headed to Joplin to check out Grand Falls, which is on Shoal Creek. It is a beautiful location, which was turned into a winter wonderland.

Keep them. Share them. Protect them.

"She glances at the photo, and the pilot light of memory flickers in her eyes." {Frank DeFord}

That is my favorite photography quote, because I feel that's exactly what happens. One look at a photo can take us right back to the very moment it was snapped or allow us to imagine what it was like to be there. Photographs tell us a story. They inspire us. They bring beauty to our homes and our lives. They keep our memories alive.

This video does a beautiful job of describing exactly that. It is sponsored by Kodak, and is about 5 minutes long, but it is well worth the time to watch it. It made me smile, it gave me chills and it brought a tear to my eye. I hope you will enjoy it as well. Please feel free to share your reaction in a comment.

The Blizzard of 2011

I thought I'd share these here for all my non-facebook family and friends...especially the ones in sunny Florida...where it is 69 degrees right now. Yep. I checked. That is 58 degrees warmer than it is here at this moment. Hard to believe, isn't it?
