Yellow

Oh I have neglected my I Heart Faces posts :) in light of the craziness that is the end of the school year. And in part because Sunday and Monday are just busy. I hope they go back to Monday & Tuesday! However how could I resist the yellow theme? It is my all time favorite color. I love this picture. Often when the kids take a picture together, B will give MB a guess for the camera. I guess he wants proof that he is nice to his sister! Anyway... at a beautiful St. Simon's wedding the kids got to get in the trolly that the wedding party was taking to the reception. I pulled out the camera and MB leaned over to kiss B before he could even move. It was too cute!

Slice of Life- I Heart Faces

I know the color isn't perfect and the picture is grainy but this is how I will remember these years. In January we got a big snow fall which is unusual for our area. We were stuck in our house for several days. After the 4th day, we braved the iced over roads with some friends to go to the Bounce House with the kids. It was a perfect morning.

Anything but a face

On my son's 4th birthday, we took a walk up to the fire station. He was so mesmerized by the big engines that I stopped trying to take his picture with his face and instead captured this moment.

My utmost...

Every time I go back to "My Utmost for His Highest" I am just amazed at the writings. If I tried to take the most meaningful quote from each day, I would end up quoting the entire daily devotion...

A new name.

Although this is a very new blog with very few posts and even fewer viewers, I am changing the name. I have been wanting to start a new blog for some time and although I have had a general idea bouncing around in my head for sometime, it has been very hard to have that idea materialize. I finally acquired a new blog address about a month ago so that I could enter the I Heart Faces weekly challenges. I am not a professional photographer, an amateur photographer would be a kind description but photography has always captured me. It is a voice, it is a art, it is a memory. And I want to get better at it (I know... I know... a sentence fragment, but it is how I think!) So I picked a blog address and put a few pics up and it met the requirements for I Heart Faces but yet I was still very uninspired. I didn't have anything to write about or even to say either through words or photographs.
As the new year has rolled in, I have reflected on my last 32 years and made some "goals" for the coming year and it is in this process that I found my inspiration. Light. For seeing light and feeling its warmth and beauty is something I do naturally, a gift I might say, but capturing it and reflecting it is another story. My epiphany came when I realized that this was true from a photography standpoint as well as spiritually. And that is something I want to get better at. So this is my journey for 2011 and on. Being quiet and seeing the Light, capturing it and reflecting it. I am not perfect. I will fail at times, maybe most of the time... but this is the journey I choose. -Jacq

Rainy Day

The other day it was raining so hard that you couldn't see the neighbors on the hill behind my house.  The light was unusual so I grabbed my camera and took a shot!
