There is art in everything




I look for art in everything. I not only see art in my children, but always in my surroundings. For the first time, I feel like I can truly capture it. I have been eating, breathing, sleeping the wonderful world of photography. I have been so blessed and inspired my a wonderful mentor and forum I found, thanks Michael Andrew for sharing your wisdom and gift. This forum has been so helpful and has MANY talented photographers that truly inspire me. Photographers from all walks of life and truly get what I see. For me, it just isn't about taking a great family shot or shot of my beautiful kiddos, it is more. The curve of a wall, the colors of the sky, the grains in a tree all of these things have great photogenic aspects that I see. If I post a picture of my crazy raisin with a hair on it, they get it! Like a breath of fresh air. Their CC is based on that, not PO. They give correction where it is due. Thank you again Michael.
Soccer starts Saturday for Blainers, he was so excited to get his uniform as were we. My Blaine is growing up so fast, I am kinda sad. Things are starting to get really busy around here and I am ready for the change of pace. We also have a couple of new babies that are due to enter the world in Sept. and Nov. and we are excited to meet them. I will be an aunt times 11, geesh! lol Leelyn is no longer BF'ing, we weaned this past week, so hello diet and exercise. I am excited to start hitting the gym with my gf Tori and her lil' girl. YAY. Here is to practice practice practice and exercise exercise exercise. For the record, I just don't understand how moms aren't in better shape, you'd think with all of the lifting I do, these arms would be nice and tone! lol
