A little about me and my family...

My photo
My love of people, photography and the world began as a child. My family moved a lot and taking pictures was my way of remembering friends, capturing special places or moments and holding them close. Becoming a wife and a mother has always been a dream of mine and I count my blessings daily. I started this blog shortly after our daughter, Yaya joined our family through the blessing of adoption. Its purpose was to share pictures and stories about our life with family and friends. Later, it shared our adoption journey to our second daughter, Baby Bird as well. Now that our family is complete I like to think of it as our family’s journal or life book. I'm passionate about life, my family and preserving our history one snapshot at a time. The thing that amazes me most is the abundance of beauty God blesses us with every day and in the simplest ways if only we take the time to slow down and appreciate them.

Fab Five Friday

Now that the New Year has arrived my hope is to share 5 of my favorite pictures I've taken during the week.  I've decided Fridays will be the day I post them.  Hence the name, Five Favorite Photos Friday.  IF you would like to join me in sharing 5 of your favorite photos let me know and I'll do my best to figure out how to add the link button to my Friday posts.  IF you hold the secret to doing this would you be so kind as to teach me how? I would love to kick this off next Friday January 14th.

Love these pictures! Where are they all from? By the way I know you asked and to do the copyright symbol you just hold down Alt then type 0169. Also google "MckLinky" as an option for linking others' posts to yours.

Shannon said...

WOW.

They're all fabulous, but the one of the waterfall? Just WOW.


(If you still need info on how to do the linky thing, let me know and I can email you...)

Prudence Arcadia said...

You truly have a gift, these are just absolutely stunning. You also live in an incredible place.

Unless Shannon already helped you and you need help with the linky bit let me know.

What a wonderful talent!

In response to your note... Lack of time and machine (downtime) have kept me away from my own and from everyone's sites lately. How nice to find your note. You're on to something regarding artistic expression and 'communing' with God - photography in your case. Photography in my case, too :) . Now, to turn shoveling snow and washing dishes into artistic expression! It's not impossible :) !

My favorite of the photos you've posted is the Christmas tree. They're all simply stunning but that one takes me to enchanted Christmases past and my own photos of those times. As Bug said, you do have the eye, Frizzy.

1/9/11 And in response to your next note :), And hugs back :) ! Happy Sunday evening... Wishing you a good upcoming week, too, Frizzy.

1/10/11 In response to your most welcome notes. Re Accept Your Worth. You're welcome :) ! After reading it I couldn't NOT post it. The ending is surprising and thought-provoking isn't it. It's interesting how we relate in objective terms to the spiritual dynamics within us. It hit you in the gut... It washed through and over me... Someone else said it emptied them of nonsense... Thanks for your feedback! Re Make Us Your Bread. Every day can be a treasure hunt, yes? I, too, love His surprising surprises! Thank you also for expressing confidence in me...

I'm loving seeing your photos every time I stop in.

First one Multnomah Falls?
I lost every picture on my computer when it crashed. Should have taken the time to take them off, like that still small voice inside of me had been saying for the past couple of months.
I will just have to start all over again and take many more. Will only be able to share a few for a while, but would love to join in:)
