Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. - Helen Keller

The Man In the Moon is at My House...



I've always thought the moon to be a pretty awesome thing...Here's what the moon looks like from my home...



What does Yours look like tonight? Have You even taken the time to look or enjoy? Want to? You know You do...go ahead...I'll wait.

It's beautiful isn't it? I'm happy I could share ;-)~

It's a tad blurry...I know. My camera's batteries are almost dead and it's not holding focus...such is life. Perhaps, tomorrow's moon will be as full and I will have a new opportunity to take a clear shot of the man in the moon!

Just Driving...



I know, I know...With the price of gas who can afford to drive, but then I ask myself how much my sanity is worth to me and that by far outweighs anything gas could cost...

So...I drove around for about 4 hours the other day and enjoyed myself immensely and enjoyed being by myself...words can't express it. Anywho, on my little venture of the twisting, winding roads of Tennessee...I took some pictures and thought I would share them with you. Little pieces of beauty...at least through my eyes. These are the roads and other things of interest that grace the countryside near the ranch/farm that I work on from time to time.





























This is just so random, but I was driving down a little road and came upon this..I don't know if someone camps here or if it's just a place to rest tired feet...whatever...I thought it was cool, so here ya go...

My Little Elfling...



My daughter wanted me to take a picture today, she wanted to be an ice princess...I ended up playing around with it in Photo Shop. This is how it turned out...



I have some more work to do on the ears and eyes, but I'm happy with what I have done up to this point...

The Gift...



The holidays have been wonderful this year, especially after receiving a gift I've wanted for years! A camera.

This camera...

I've been snapping pictures of unsuspecting victims (family/friends/animals/trees...pretty much anything that will stay still long enough for me to shoot!) all week. Here are a few that I really like...

This is Tony(our youngest, 4), while it looks like he fell off a bike, this wasn't the case, he was actually upset because he got a remote control truck and the battery was taking too long to charge. I wish he'd been smiling, but I like the way this turned out never the less.

This is Eli (He'll be 8 Jan. 6th, the middle child), he was out playing and I got him to stop a second to catch this shot, another that I really like.

And this is of the neighbor's cat, I'm not a huge fan of cats, but I like the coloration of this animal, so I caught it sitting still and got this...

I hope to figure out soon how to get the pictures onto the computer without them becoming so huge!

I hope you all have had a wonderful holiday season so far and wish you all a spectacular new year!

Happy Halloween!!!

This is J (my hubby) as Satan for a Costume party we attended. He made the horns (he was a Theatre Major in college) and I glued them on him and did the makeup. There were quite a few Satans there, but he was told by several people that his was the best. I took the picture with my phone, that's why it's not so good. Anyway, it was a blast to do his makeup.

On a side note: I went as one of the three Power Puff Girls, I was Blossom, a friend of mine was Bubbles and her friend went as Buttercup. I'll put the pictures up when I get them from my friend, the costumes...we made them! We rocked out to some bands, one of wich my friend's boyfriend is lead singer, he's a really cool guy. The band name is Supre X and they are great!
