So here I am sitting in my office at home again.....the weather is preventing much activity....and contemplating the power of nature....and how beautiful yet treacherous this snow/ice is.

I have managed to get out during each of the storms except for this one which is just too yucky though perhaps later...I will venture out....

I've gotten some awesome photos very close to home..... even though my fingers were stiff and cold and I was shooting quickly so my camera wouldn't get too wet....

I admire photographers who venture out no matter what the conditions and get photos and my ambition is to do that as well but I don't always do it...so I want to share some of my photos from the past few weeks.

Just sit back and enjoy the beauty of nature!

 
                 

I am entering this photo into the I Heart Faces photo challenge this month. The theme is "Purple". I used to enter this contest all the time but have been so busy with business that I haven't had a chance in a while.....but I have to have some fun sometimes....and I just recently photographed a lovely young woman in purple....so here goes....

Take a look at I Heart Faces I think you'll like them a lot

Well, one of my New Year's resolutions is to blog more frequently and to once more move my website/online shop to another location.
Since the second one is harder I thought I'd start the blog up again, by returning to google blogger which is where I used to have my photography blog!
Of course I have some other more personal resolution which include living a healthier life, exercising more, eating well, spending more time with friends and family, shooting more things for fun, entering more photo contests....blah blah blah blah!

But for now, I'm happy to be blogging again!

Here are some photos I took during the holidays!
