My Own Magical Snow Scene...

I was on my way to an exam today (yay, finals week...) when I thought I saw snow falling outside my car. It must have lasted about ten seconds and then....turned to sprinkles again. Oh well! I made my own magical snow scene so I could enjoy it anyway. I simply used an older photo I had taken of snow during a blizzard and overlayed it on top of the photo of this giant tree, adjusted the blend modes, and dramatized the clouds with some extra color.


Happy week before Christmas...everything during this week just seems to get insane, the shopping, the cooking, the studying for finals...in fact, I'm stalling on studying right now. I hope to see many of your creative and beautiful photos after your own holiday celebration. I've been missing my photography and editing over the last few weeks because of school, but hope to get back to it soon...:)  

Happy Holidays friends. ;)))

My Thankful List (you might be on it!)


I know it's not Thanksgiving yet but I'll be too stuffed to write anything tomorrow...just got back from vacation in Florida where I took the above pic from the car window. Don't you just love those rays the sun sends down as you're driving home on some ordinary day?
Anyway, here is my short list for now...
I am thankful for....
* nature's beauty ..nature can always center you when you're lost * my awesome Etsy customers who give me such kind and positive feedback on my work...you could purchase art from thousands of people and you chose me- thank you!! * Phoebe and Roxie, my ever present and always loving kitties * Joe, my coworker who can make me laugh in the midst of a torturous day * FPOE, the female photographers group that is always sharing information and triumphs and helping me grow as an artist and through which I have met some wonderful people * my cousin's new twins, premature but growing chubbier every day...they are so brave * my warm bed on a ridiculously cold New England night (and my wood burning fireplace, too *  slow cooker chili * nice people at the supermarket * my photo lab lady *  hulu, I can watch whatever shows I want, whenever I want to * my blog followers who take the time to read about my crazy life * my family who loves me unconditionally and whom I appreciate more with each day  :)
I'm sure I missed a thousand other things but for now that's what I'm thinking of.....I hope you all get to spend this holiday with your friends and family, too...:))
