Citrus are some of the most beautiful fruits  – each half perfectly divided into sections, so colorful and juicy. Limes, along with lemons, are my favorite, especially in a cold fruity drink in the summer. Delicious. What's your favorite citrus?

The theme for the photo challenge this time is green...above are my entries (I couldn't limit myself to one ;)).

The theme for the photo challenge this time is spring. You knew it was coming, didn't you? ;) I couldn't resist. I'm not going to ramble on about how much I love spring, as you're probably already tired of it, so let's just get to it!

Instead of going with the normal flower shot, I decided to look up instead. The colors of a spring sky are some of my favorites...the perfect shade of azure combined with soft, wispy clouds is a combination you're not likely to forget.

The theme for I Heart Faces this week is "anything but a face" - love this change ;) 

This is my sweet little sister, Lilly. One of my favorite photographs of her, I love the ruffled strap of her ballerina swimsuit and the fact that she's wearing a swimsuit in the middle of winter at all ;) I converted it to black and white because I loved the soulfulness that it adds...what do you think?




Happy Monday! Any plans for the day?

(Psst...don't forget to enter my self portrait photo challenge!)

Were it not for my outfit posts, I would rarely be in front of the camera. As photographers, it seems that we have hundreds of photos of others, but a select few of ourselves. Maybe it's because we're so critical of our looks, but either way, changing the subject to yourself every once in awhile can't hurt anything.

That's why the theme for this next photo challenge is self portrait. 

I snapped this shot on the forty five minute dairy drive to get our raw milk, cream, and cheese. While the location isn't exactly ideal, it's definitely worth it.
