Snips and Snail and Puppy Dog Tails :)

I babysat my nephew today.  How CUTE is he?!?!

The Perfect Storm

Yesterday evening quite a storm came through.  One of the news anchors here described it like this:  "It came on like gangbusters."  The winds were blowing upwards of 74mph and in a matter of 15 minutes the temperature dropped from 94 to 69 degrees.  Although as quickly as it came on it was over and we were left with this amazing double rainbow and surreal, ethereal light.  I grabbed my camera and Lela and I hurried outside.  Here are a few of the images I was able to capture last night.

Lela was so excited to get outside and walk in the puddles.  She was really excited by all the beautiful colors to be seen in the sky. 

Here she just had to see how high she could jump.  It was as if the electricity left in the air was affecting her energy levels.  She was so full of excitement it was contagious!  She brought such a huge smile to my face.  We were having fun exploring the after effects of the storm.

Towards the end of our exploration I noticed this gorgeous mix of colors from the storm clouds, sunset, etc.  I had to photograph this magenta cloud that was hovering over the neighborhood.

After this gorgeous view we called it a night.  I relish light like this.  It always amazes me how wonderful and awe inspiring the world we inhabit can be. 

I've Done it Again!

I've dropped the ball on blogging.  I've dropped the ball on uploading photos to share with you on FB. I've...*sigh*  I think all there is to say is that I am here to start fresh.  I need to be sharing what is going on with you out here instead of being MIA.  I've learned that although I wish there were some blogging fairy out there, well, there isn't, that a blog can get dusty and no amount of swiffering is going to fix it- just sitting down and making the time to connect is the only thing that will clean it up and last but not least--I've learned that I really stink at blogging. 

Okay, with all of that out of the way I can tell you this.  I am going to be better at blogging.  I have plenty of words to use, I'm sure anybody who knows me can attest to that being true and I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY and feel a burning need to share my work.  How am I going to share my work if there is no fairy to upload the images for me?  By doing it myself. Hopefully that will be enough. ;)

Sunshine and Shadows {Omaha Professional Photographer}

Today was exceptionally warm.  I believe the temperature reached somewhere in the 80s.  Anyway, this afternoon I was spending sometime outside soaking up the sun and warmth while visiting with my neighbor when I kept noticing the shadows the light filtering through the trees were making on my sidewalk.  I grabbed my camera and this is what I captured:

A Dandy Bouquet {Omaha Professional Photographer}

My daughter ran up to me this weekend with her hands behind her back and a big grin on her face.  She told me she had a surprise for me and presented this handful of dandelions. She laid them at my feet.  I felt like a queen! You may see a handful of a common and typical pesky weed.  I think not!  I see a beautiful sunshiney yellow bouquet of handpicked flowers presented with love. And that is just dandy to me! :)

8th Grade Grad {Omaha Professional Photographer}

Here are some photographs from another FUN 8th Grade Grad Session!  My 8th grader tells me she only has 18 more 'wake up' days before school ends.  Time does fly!  I chose to share a few of [T]'s color images here on the blog.  If you would like you can visit my fan page and view some black and white photographs from this session.  Just click here.  Enjoy!  As always, I love to hear from you so please leave me some blog love! <3
