I Heart Faces - By the Book

This is my trusty model, wearing her lovely regency dress (with handmade buttons, I might add), reading poetry by the window.
*Edit: Got 7th place! Yay!

I Heart Faces - Best Face Photo from 2011

This is sooo hard. The BEST face photo from 2011?!?!? I feel I have grown so much and learned so much more this past year about photography, that it's extremely hard to pick one. I don't really think I can pick only one favorite, so I'll just have to pick one that I like. :-)

Blackberry Cobbler Waffles

My sister had a birthday last month... and this is what we made for breakfast on her birthday. Oh, yes. With ice cream on top. Life is short... eat your waffles with ice cream. Especially if it's your birthday.

Belated Photos from Down South

I remembered I said I would post some pictures from our trip to the sunny South and I never did! Sorry about that... though I dare say nobody even remembers I said that. :-)

This is the harbor within walking distance of our timeshare.

We spent a week in Hilton Head, SC back in the beginning of November. It was chillier than we were hoping - only one day got up into the 70's - but we still had a great time enjoying the sunshine, the beach, and the pool (yes, we went swimming while all the southerners bundled up in coats and scarves :-).

The first day we walked around historic Beaufort. The visitor's center is inside this neat old military base of some sort (now I can't even remember what this was exactly). 

Loooove Spanish moss!

Beach time!

I took this picture, and then decided to wade in the water a bit. Then we decided to walk... and walked a mile or two down the beach and I realized I left my flip flops! Thankfully they were still there when we walked back, though the tide was rising. :-)

All of these photos were edited with my new Lightroom program! I love it so far!!
