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.

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.

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.

January 1, 2009 - Simplicity

I am wishing for a year a bit less complicated and stressfilled than the past. I hope all of you have a year full of love and laughter and simple joys.

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

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 3, 2009

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.

February 25, 2009 I can't remember what the name of this bush is - but it is back by our pool equipment. This is the first year for it to fully bloom and I think the flowers are so delicate and pretty.

March 19, 2009 - "It's very gothic Mom.", said Emily as she gives me a really strange look that says - you are too old for goth stuff. LOL. Oh well.

$March 13, 2009 - March showers bring April flowers??? A bit of a desperation shot. It has been raining and cold and windy here for days. I do not do well with cold. Add rain and wind to that and I just want to hybernate. We had a very short lived lull in the miserable drizzle of yesterday and since I didn't want to post yet another arboretum shot again today, I grabbed my camera and went out into the backyard. My rose of sharon is just started to get some leaves on it. This photo is cropped way down so it doesn't look so great at a large size. Now don't go viewing it large just because I said that! The rain is supposed to be back with bells and whistles today so tomorrow - maybe another arboretum shot. :\$
