I’m still going through my flower pictures from last summer. One of my favorite flowers is the daisy. I like how the petals curl under on this particular one. They seem so graceful and relaxed.
My laptop desktop is littered with screen shots and icons. This pretty flower gave me the incentive to finally clean things up.

These are really flowers from last summer. I’ve been going through my nature shots from last year and I have a lot. I’m going to turn some of my favorites into desktop backgrounds and start “pinning” them to the blog.
I’ve also started a new category called “pins” with the thought that over time, I’ll create my own personal version of Pinterest-like inspiration.

Tonight’s supermoon. I didn’t get a chance to capture it until after the golden glow had gone. Still beautiful, though. Taken with my Canon Rebel T3i.
You may have heard we had some severe weather in the Midwest last weekend. I love taking pictures of the dramatic clouds, but these storms were different. The sky was cold and gloomy all day, so I grabbed my camera and tried to focus on the rain.
First I tried freezing the raindrops in motion. I sat in the garage for cover, but there wasn’t enough light to get a high enough shutter speed. Then I went on the deck, where I thought there would be more light, but had the same issue.
I decided if Mother Nature wouldn’t work with me, I’d have to work with her. I lowered my shutter speed and focused on showing the raindrops in motion. I managed to capture two droplets and show the water bouncing off of the wood. Even though the day was mainly gray, the trees in the background make it look bright and spring like.
I love this photo so much, I resized it into a desktop background. Feel free to download and share.
Last Monday I planned to take a lot of crafty pictures for the blog. It was the first day after spring break and I was excited to get down to work. Within minutes of dropping my daughter off at school it got very, very, very dark. I couldn’t believe it! Huge storm clouds were rolling in. I was so bummed.
Then I thought: I can still take pictures, just not what I had originally planned. I stayed close to home because I was worried the sky would open up at any minute. I pushed myself discover something new within the familiar sights of the front yard.
Mother Nature didn’t give me a lot of time, but I got a few good shots before heading back inside. I love that little nest!
