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?

What a doll!

Is she a cutie or what?? I just love those curls! This is one adorable little girl.

Lovely Little Jaylee (aka Snow White)

Isn't she precious! Beautiful in her pretty Christmas dress, and just as adorable in her favorite Snow White dress.
