Forest Around Harrison's Caves

Yet another Barbados post coming your way ... hot off the press so to speak. These were taken in the forest outside of Harrison's Cave. A really beautiful place where I was lucky enough to stumble upon some really great photos. Here are my favorites!

Walk way into the forest.

Why I Love My 50mm

Just a fantastic lens. It gives the most dreamy images. On our first fishing day I took some pictures of these cute little shells. The out come was fantastic. I just love how the photos almost look like macro shots.

And here is a shot of me, taking these shots! I'll do what it takes to get my shot ....

Fishing Day Two

Can you tell that I've had fishing on my mind? We have been going almost every chance we get, as long as the weather is cooperating. And yesterday in fact, I got my own fishing license and fishing pole and tried it out for myself! I even caught myself a little bass. It was pretty fun. Any way, here are some pictures from our second day fishing.

Fishing Day One, Part One

My husband went fishing with some buddies and I tagged along to take pictures. I had a great time poking around the lake looking for photographic opportunities. These are my favorite shots of things I found around the lake.

Coming up next is photos of the fishermen!

Flowers and Playing with Depth of Field

There are some pretty little flowers outside our room here at Fort Sill. I took these photos last week but since I have so much catch up to do, I haven't had a chance to post them until now! Im still not all caught up but it feels so great to be posting daily and working on my photography again.

(Not actually flowers, but I just love the depth of field here)

Early Morning Posting Requires Coffee

I am in need of a cup of coffee as I post this. As soon as this is up you know I'll be making myself one. These photos were taken yesterday afternoon and I decided to edit them in two different ways. Coffee has a dark side and a light side so I represented them both.

Sun Set at Fort Sill

Yesterday I went out and photographed the sun setting on base. I went a little later than I would have liked but the colors were so beautiful that I took some photos any way. I want to go take photos again but earlier in the evening so that I can capture some detail in the foreground. My other goal is to take pictures of the Canadian geese that are making their way back up north. I am so excited every time I see Canadian geese. Its like a little part of home away from home.

The colors are amazing!

This one is my favorite. The reflection in the pond is gorgeous!

My Newest Camera!

While on vacation in Ottawa, my friend and I stopped into a new store on Rideau Street. I saw this amazing little camera there. I had only seen this camera online and seeing it in person was such a great surprise. They had one out of the box so I even got to play around with one before buying it. So, with out further a-due ... the newest member of my camera family ....


Ive already taken two rolls of film, and developed one roll while in Ottawa. So tomorrow I plan on posting my favorites from the first roll of film! Its been a long time since I posted anything film related, so Im pretty excited!

In the kitchen, Banana Bread

It has been waaaay too long since I've posted something. But truthfully I haven't been using my camera very much lately. Life has been busy with moving to the USA and getting my life started over here. Also, marathon training and finding steady employment. Honestly I took these pictures over a month ago but haven't had a chance to edit or upload them until now. I decided to multitask on this one. Take pictures while I made some tasty tasty banana bread. Maybe I could make this a series ....


Butter creamed with sugar ... one egg waiting to be beaten in.


Just before going into the oven. I tried to give the top of the bread a little texture, but in the end it didn't make any difference.


Waiting for the bread to cook. Playing around with some food I found in the kitchen.

Its done! Look at those yummy chocolate chips :)

South Afrian Catus

Took these pictures while taking a walk around the city. You'd never guess it would be in the city right?

Taking a break after this

One last black and white photo before I leave for my trip to Victoria Falls.

Drugs, drugs, drugs ... some are good ... some are bad

On a day when I felt like I was having to take too many pills I did this little shoot ... with all my pills. I was just getting over a back spasm and it seemed like the right thing to do.

The roses and the tea pot

A little photo shoot I did in my old apartment involving roses that Gary gave me and my tea pot.
