Every man’s work, whether it be literature, or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself. ~ Samuel Butler

At The Love Nest this week, I amused myself by learning to use my flash off camera, and shoot through my umbrella, and tried out different bounce flash techniques. Have I mentioned that I love photography?? :love:

P. S. self portraits are HARD.

P.S. again…why do I insist on growing my hair out when I wear it pulled up in a pony tail 99% of the time??

P.S. once again. Watch for the Photo of the Month Contest on Monday!

Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into. ~Henry Beecher

— Well, I’m not totally convinced they don’t have one…

Have a wonderful weekend, my blogging buddies. Hope you find something fun to do!

Life in Focus-Focus

I kind of like the double focus in the title…

β€œIt’s not what’s happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it’s your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you’re going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.” ~Anthony Robbins

So I said to myself, “Self, you can focus on the rain, constant rain, or you can focus on the cute little gingerbread door to the office. You can focus on the wonky internet, or go play with your camera and photoshop.” (as if I need an excuse to play with photoshop!)

welcome-to-the-weekend-2039Enjoy your weekend my blogging friends. Here’s hoping for sunny skies, fun times, and ice cold beverages of choice!
