#6. Last but certainly not least is this great “Happy Fall Sign”. This one also comes with options for the 3 colors you see here in this image or for the design to be all in black on the white canvas. The frame is hand stained and overall has a nice rustic feel. It also has the option to have hanging hardware added to the back or to leave as is to use on a shelf. It is a light enough piece that command strips could easily hold it in place, which makes it the perfect gift for someone who rents or maybe a college dorm even! Find this gorgeous sign here!

Hope you enjoyed these great fall themed items and are able to find the perfect fall gift!

Photographing Spring Flowers

I love to photograph nature and after a long winter in New England there is not much better than seeing some bright spring flowers start appearing!

Daffodils are such happy looking flowers and definatly are a favorite to see early on in spring around here! We have some bright yellow ones and the whiter ones like this one in the picture!

Bleeding Hearts are another one I love to see! There name may sound sad, but I think they are just beautiful!! I love how the flowers on these line up in rows. Sometimes they are a challenge to photograph because of that, getting the focus right can take some time, but once you get one it is very satisfying!

Tulips are so much fun because they come in so many wonderful colors and are just a joyful looking flower in general! I also love to photograph these guys backlit by the sun as I feel it shows off their true beauty and colors the best!

Dandelions bloom all spring summer and fall around here, and many seem to think they are just pesky because they will almost grow anywhere and multiply in what seems like seconds! I think they have their own beauty and really love to see them throughout the yard. Plus, as Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh says “weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them.”

Thanks for looking! Feel free to share what your favorite spring flowers are in the comments!!

Gulf Coast – Gulfport, MS

On our April road trip we saw the Gulf coast for the first time in Mississippi, at dusk. At first, I was sad it wasn’t daylight. However, after looking at a few of my shots on the camera, I realized this lighting was way better anyway!

Road Trip 2013 – Pink Heals Tour, Nashville

This is my personal favorite group of pictures from our entire trip. Not based on their quality or content as much as how much this part of this particular day meant to me. We were spending time on Broadway in Nashville, just to walk around and look at souvenirs and such. As we headed back to the car we came across a pink fire truck. Of course, the color pink always means I need a picture. We turned the corner and the entire street was lined with pink emergency vehicles. All of these vehicles were covered in signatures, notes and messages. Alex, being the shy person he is (Not) went up and asked a lady what the trucks were all about. They are called “The Pink Heals Tour” and are touring the country raising money and awareness for women’s health in general, not just cancer.

As some may know, I lost my Grammy to breast cancer last fall. We asked if I could sign her name on the trucks and of course they said yes.

Road Trip 2013 – Nashville Zoo part 1

Our first day in Nashville we started off by going to the Nashville Zoo. Of course I took a ton of pictures. Enough that I am going to split them between two posts.
2013-06-25 08.07.21 - LPWe started off our day with a Starbucks stop of course. (Remember I said I took a picture of all of them?)

2013-06-25 08.11.36 - LPMacchiatto is ready to head to the Zoo!

590LPWe left from Kingston, TN for Nashville early. About 15 minutes west of Kingston you pass the timezone. So it turned out to be a 2 hour drive into Nashville.

592LPAlmost there!

598LPNashville Newsie? ( I currently work for a local paper and can’t even get away from papers on vacation… they are everywhere!)

608LPWe made it!

614LPAlex as we headed into the park. This was only his second Zoo and the first that had this many different animals, so he was very excited.

616LP629LP636LP639LP641LP662LPI am a sucker for flowers. Found a lot of cute flowers throughout the trip!

668LP670LP673LP676LP678LP701LP702LP705LP714LP720LP723LP727LP742LP747LPLorakeets Exhibit. We were able to walk right into this exhibit and feed the lorakeets nectar from little cups. Alex loved interacting with them and I enjoyed being close enough to get good pictures! This exhibit also made me wish my dad could have come, he would have loved all the different birds we got to see, especially these! Hope you like the pictures Daddy!
