When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence. ~Ansel Adams

It is soon time to break the silence, as I had put down my camera for awhile. My fav. camera is going to cost $245.00 to fix, the shutter needs replaced. My other camera is okay, but I feel like I lost my best friend. Have to save up for the repair. Silly right?

I am trying to find peace within, while living in a world filled with noise, and static. Trying to tune into my heart song, removing the static that causes me to strain to hear.

What is my New Year's Resolution?
To live from my heart, a life of emotional honesty with myself and those I love. Amid the cloudy days, I will look for the blue skies.
I will believe in the sun even when I don't see it shinning.
I will believe in love, even when I do not feel it.
I will believe in God, even when he seems silent..

I will remember to dance as if no one is watching, and to love like it is never going to hurt....

Last year I spent a great deal of time waiting for the other shoe to drop. Living in fear, this year I choose to live in faith.

So it's day 2 of the New Year.... I hope to be able to say this on December 31, 2009...

Blessings, love and peace to you and yours!

Last week I spent time in the woods with my boyfriend Rich... The time we spent was perfect.
Campfires, good coffee, wonderful kayaking, hikes, perfect location to capture the autumn beauty.
A bit crisp out, a little cool, however the weather was perfect to bring us close for warmth.
The time we shared in the woods was my birthday gift. I have never received a better gift in my life.
Perfect timing for the trip...I am filled with peace, and hopefully will keep this feeling. Coming down from the mountain is difficult, but I hope to maintain the love, gratitude and peace I received.

I decided I love taking photos and creating memories. I have not been taking many photos to post, taking photos of friends, and loved ones.

Amazing looking back the past ten years and seeing the changes we all go through....

Will be doing more creative work in the up comming months. I don't know how many sunrises, and sunsets a person can take...
