Lonely - but hopeful?

edited to add - thank you to everyone who commented. I had held on to this photo for a few weeks now - it is very personal for me. Has been kind of a rough 6 months for me emotionally and this photo really hit at my core. I wasn't sure I was going to post it - but for some reason this morning - it was ok and I did.

I guess this is just one of those rare photos that reaches into you (the person taking it) deeper than many others and becomes special because it really speaks to you. We all like most of our photos - otherwise we wouldn't share them - but for me - as I am sure it is for all of you - we have the one or two rare and special ones. That is what this one is for me.

I really wasn't sure what the reaction to it would be - your comments, your kindness, your encouragment and inspiration mean so very much to me.

Thank you.

February 1, 2009 - From the Dallas Zoo.

Following the leader, the leader, the leader
We're following the leader wherever he may go
We won't be home till morning, till morning
We won't be home till morning
Because he told us so.

To cheer both great and small;
Little fools will drink too much,
And great fools not at all."

Emily doing a "double stag leap" (at least that is what she told me). She does this leap during her lyrical routine.

July 29, 2009 - Texas Sage

I really want a good macro lens. All this cropping to get the shot I want is not working well. Hmmmm do I starve the kids, deprive them of an education and dance classes, sell off the cars or stand on a street corner holding a sign that says "will work for glass"?

LOL - J/K! ;)

September 11, 2009 John.. I took your advice last night.... half the bottle. ;)

Yesterday was just one more chapter in a month and a half of nearly constant stress. It started with a very unpleasant surprise having to do with Ian's job (he still has it - nothing has changed with his position -just unpleasant financial news). Then some extended family issues that is very emotional and highly charged and yesterday - the air conditioner decided to start screetching like someone was taking a power tool to it. $650.00+ later we have a new fan motor. I really wanted to drink the entire bottle but couldn't because I have to be out and on the road by 7:15am. So John (very smart man that he is) suggested I just have half the bottle - which I did.

Emily is home from school today - not feeling well at all. I will probably have her in to the doctor later this afternoon if I can get an appt. Why do kids (at least mine) always seem to get sick on Fridays and then there is the mad dash to the dr before the weekend hits.

June 3, 2009 The last dance recital photo - I promise. I just finished processing and editing the final ones this afternoon.

This is the very last pose of the very last dance in both recitals - taken from the finale, which was a tribute to the Beatles. This is Emily's jazz team. All of the jazz teams dance together during the finale.

Emily - again.

I wanted to try out some new backdrop paper I got and our ice day was the perfect opportunity. I also wanted to get some practice with it because I had a session scheduled for this coming Saturday. That was cancelled today - really kinda bummed, but I am more concerned about my client. She had emergency surgery today. I really hope she recovers soon and then maybe we can rebook.

I took quite a few different shots of Em - and of course like any proud Mom - I will more than likely post a few of them. I gotta say I am proud of both of my girls - Kylie has seemed to capture my love for teaching and children. She is going to make one heck of an early childhood - grade4 teacher when she finishes school. And Em - not only is she one heck of a model, but has also captured my love for photography.

Add to that a husband whom does nothing but support and love me - and I am extremely blessed .

January 6, 2008

We had freezing rain most of the day yesterday. Luckily the ground was warm enough we didn't have too many issues on the roads - just a few slick bridges and overpasses. The trees were so pretty though - the ice did build up on them.

August 14, 2009..... Quack!

Update - I got an email back from Seamus with Smugmug. He was able to restore ALL of my 2008 daily photos WITH THE COMMENTS AND PHOTO RANKINGS! I am incredibly impressed and can not thank him enough. What a fantastic organization smugmug is. Thank you thank you thank you - from the bottom of my heart. :)
**************************************************************************************

I am kicking myself big time today. I went to move all of my 2008 daily gallery (sorted by month) into one large gallery that covered the entire year. Well I thought I had them moved over and that I was deleted an empty gallery - turns out I deleted the gallery I had just moved everything into. So I lost all of my comments and photo rankings that I had worked so hard to get in the past few months.

I was able to put all of the photos back up since I had all of them but I am really just heartbroken over losing all of your comments. They have meant so much to me.

I emailed smugmug - to see if there was any way to get them back, but I would be so incredibly surprised. I have resigned myself to the results of my stupid mistake.

Oh well.
