Distractions! They are Everywhere!

I love working outdoors, in the garden and in the flower beds.  Yet, I find that it takes me quite a while to make any progress when pulling weeds, trimming back that which is done blooming, etc…  Why is this?  Well, just take a peek at the following pictures!

Who wouldn’t be distracted by all the colors, textures and beauty right at eye level?!?  🙂

Then there are all the little critters that emerge when their habitat is disturbed:

Yes, all of these things are distracting as I attempt to keep up with flower beds and the garden, but I find them amazing and am willing to delay the end result in order to capture the little details I am blessed to see!

Here is to enjoying the process of accomplishing a task!  🙂

Welcome 2013 – Happy New Year

I almost find it hard to believe that this year has come to a close and we have now entered another year!  Wow!  So many amazing things to look back upon and thank God for from 2012…I am sure I will be able to say the same thing through 2013 – He is faithful in and through all things!

In our area, we have ushered in the New Year with snowfall!  It has steadily blanketed the area with lovely layers of white!  While out playing in the soft, white powder, our daughter said, ‘Mom!  Look at the evergreens!  Don’t they look beautiful with the snow all over them?!  We need to get a picture of them!” and that is what we proceeded to do.  She was right, they are so pretty covered with snow!

Happy New Year – 2013

Just Because

While busy with editing pictures, enjoying company, traveling and the grind of every day life, my camera remains active!  Here are some “just because” pictures taken as life continues to move forward.  🙂

(You may notice I have a weak spot for sunsets as you look through these random pictures.)  🙂
