Photos that are COLORFUL and taken in LOW LIGHT can still bring a BRAND NEW perspective to LIVING and find A PLACE in our hearts.

WOW!!! That was a mouthful of a Header. 

Once again, I have been shirking my responsibilities as a blogger. Life just keeps getting in the way of the things I WANT to do. I'm sure we can all relate. I do, however, MAKE time to post to this blog. I know there may not be many people following, but that isn't really the point (although I love my audience.) The POINT is that I have been trying to get back into journaling, and this blog is a good start "in my search for" a better way to keep track of my life and find new adventures. As I get older, I find this to be of some importance and I am determined to stick to it. One way I have discovered, is to follow a daily photo challenge I found on another blog; The Idea Room.  You can follow the link, or click on the button on this blogs sidebar. 

So, without further ado....


"Colorful." Oct. 22nd.

This photo was taken at one of my favorite places.  Can you guess?  Never mind, I'll tell you.  This was taken at Raven's Eye Body Art in Hood River, OR.  The current owner of the tattoo shop, Kim Lindemyer, is one of my favorite people and has blessed me with many works of art that I get to see and share EVERYDAY!!


"Low Light." Oct. 23rd.

That's my little lantern that I have hung above my headboard, in my bedroom window. It's an LED Candle and runs on batteries, but it's super cute, and I LOVE IT!!


"Brand New." Oct. 24th.

Yup!! That's me, and I was seriously reaching with this photo. The Scarf WAS brand new, but it was literally a last minute photo; taken solely for the purpose of having SOMETHING to submit! :-/


"Living." Oct. 25th.

I have to admit, this is one of my favorite submissions. I could not figure out (for the life of me) what I was going to submit for this VERY WIDE topic.  So I went through all of my photos and compiled the ones that reached out to me and were important to me. Photos that brought good memories and marked certain times in space that were special.

"A Place." Oct. 26th.

Ok!! I don't know about you, but I NEED MY COFFEE in the morning, and this is just ONE of the places I frequent to feed that need. The place is called Good News Gardening. It's a lovely garden shop/cafe that is next door to the grooming shop where I work. They serve breakfast and lunch and they specialize in pastries, pies, and muffins. The best part? Everything they serve is organic and made from scratch! A bit on the spendy side, but WELL worth it!!


Looks like I've given a little tour of a few of my favorite haunts here in The Hood. I've come to LOVE my quaint little town, even though I HATE snow (and we DO get snow!!) Anyway, I think that'll be it for now. Blessings to ALL!! :D
