Hallelujah! At least one of my photos turned out decent. We quickly rushed through Temple Square to see the lights before attending another event in downtown Salt Lake, and this one was really the only decent photo I got. I hope to get back up there with more time to shoot soon!
Have a great day! Do something NEW!
I went out shooting yesterday and was a bit disappointed at the lack of…really anything, that caught my eye. I came home and told my hubby that along with “No Shave November” (my son has a bushy, bushy beard)…this month should also be known as “Nothing to shoot November”!
However, I’ve learned that a good photographer can create a good photo out of nothing…so I ventured out and gave it my best shot 🙂
For the top photo, I’ll link to Song-ography. I was inspired by the great photos in this week’s song video:
Also, this week on Scavenger Hunt Sunday, the prompts were: Starts w/S, Texture, A Blessing, Warmth, and I Went. Here are my interpretations:
Starts w/S: Stuck!
Texture
A Blessing: Friends that bring you cookies to enjoy!
Warmth: Is this too much of a stretch? Firewood is potential warmth, right? 🙂
I Went…to the park to get a shot of Mt Timpanogos.
And one last miscellaneous pic:
Have a terrific week! Do or learn something NEW!
This broken gate is my favorite pic from this morning’s photo walk….and most of the roses around this gazebo were dead, but a few hardy ones were hanging on!
Have a great week! Do or Learn something NEW!

How was your weekend? Mine was pretty relaxing…that’s a good thing, right? I stayed around the house because my hubby was doing a project – and he likes me to stay close by in case he has a ‘design question’. He’s very handy, and always likes to make things just the way I like them to be :o) Yes, I’m a VERY lucky gal!
Anywhoo! Here are a few miscellaneous thoughts from my weekend:
This month…since it’s November, I’m going to steal the idea from Snippets from Springdale and concentrate on gratitude this month. I have SO MANY blessings that I’m truly grateful for, and I need to express that gratitude….either through word or photographs on this blog. Isn’t that an excellent idea?!?!?
Also…I very rarely watch a movie more than once, but this weekend I ended up watching the Princess Bride again. I saw this video snippet about one of the actor’s favorite lines from the movie: CHECK IT OUT HERE! It’s so true that our perceptions change as we go through this life, and things we don’t even notice when we’re younger make an impression later as we have more experience to glean from! So that little clip made me want to watch the movie again! It’s a GOOD movie!….and I LOVE that line now as well!
Lastly, I spent a bit of time at the piano this weekend. I recently needed some NEW sheet music {yeah, I get tired of the same ol’ music quite often – as I’ve mentioned before}, so I learned to play the fun piece from The King and I called ‘March Of the Siamese Children’. It’s a fun piece to play and every time I play it, it reminds me of the {SOOOOO CUTE!!!} children in the movie!
Again, I hope you all had a GREAT weekend! Let me know what NEW things you did!
A few weeks ago, I shared my Yellow Photo Walk. This week’s photo walk theme was RED:
I was amazed these flowers were still so vibrant in November!
Have a great week everyone! Do or Learn something NEW!
God is good.
Life is hard.
Don’t get the two mixed up.
I LOVE this quote so much! Therefore, I’m dedicating a NEW blog page for myself and ALL OF YOU to share how you are putting into practice any NEW-found knowledge. Go to the NEW page and check it out!
Today I set out to photograph a spot up the canyon where I knew there was a nice waterfall. But my timing wasn’t great, because there was no lighting at all! (Too early for the sun to peek over those peaks, I guess). However, on my way home I saw these beautiful trees! My photo-shoot wasn’t a complete total waste, thank goodness! Have a great day. DO SOMETHING NEW!

Hi all! As you can see, on this photo-walk, I shot anything and everything that was yellow. I highly recommend taking a leisurely walk and focusing on one primary color to photograph. When I do this, I seem to see things I wouldn’t notice otherwise, and I like the cool captures I get. Try something NEW this week!
