67/365 03/10/10 Butterfly Exhibit with Rachel.....

Today Rachel and I went to the butterfly exhibit at the Ft. Worth Botanical Garden. She's been so excited!

But first we went to lunch at the Purple Cow......

and she had a purple milkshake (which she loved)

and a grilled cheese sandwich and macaroni and cheese.




Then on to the butterfly exhibit....

We loved it!!!

(being a butterfly and flapping her wings)

Then we went out to the gardens to check out the flowers. She loved the daffodils and walking around asking me what every sign said with the name for every kind of tree, shrub, flower or grass.

It was a great day....she decided it was a "10" on a scale of 1 to 10!!

64/365 03/07/10 Working on New Bows.....

I'm making these new style bows....they are so cute and fun....completely out of my usual way of making them. The ribbons don't always match, they have tulle and feathers in them and some kind of cute bling in the center! I love them!

63/365 03/06/10 In God We Trust.....

Every single day I am having to remind myself to "trust Him".... I often want to try to control things, to do things my way, to have things in life turn out the way I want them to be. I have to "let go" and trust......

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

60/365 03/03/10 Apertures and Depth of Field,,,,,,

Every morning this is becoming more and more of my routine. I read, study, look at photography sites, seek inspiration in my everyday life and take hundreds of "practice" shots. I am so passionate about learning more about how to be a better photographer. I want to see the details of life in a new way and to capture them, to remember the colors, the light, the beauty that surrounds me. I feel like I have learned so much but have so very much to learn.

57/365 02/27/10 Blue skies!

We worked in the yard almost all day today getting ready for spring. We cleaned out flower beds, trimmed shrubs and grasses, and pruned rose bushes. The sun was shining, the skies were the beautiful shade of blue that I love so much, and I feel spring getting closer!!
