I've been keeping a listing of quotes that resonate with me since I was a kid. If I am particularly stressed I add it to my laptop as a screensaver.

Tiffanysays

It's going well – I'one thousand proud of myself for making it this far and feel like its a addiction now. I similar the bud/thorns pic considering it was the first day I had my macro lens and I couldn't believe I could capture something and then modest. But my fave is the one of Abbie outside in her pj's. It's not a particularly potent image, but I managed to concord her on my hip while as well taking the pic, and got it on the second shot 🙂 that was her outset time seeing snow flurries and I loved that I was able to capture that moment 🙂
Karensays
Feb seventh, 2012 at seven:54 pm
I love that motion picture of Abbie! I call back that's my fave in the series so far.
Isn't it interesting how many shots it takes to get "THE" shot? And how when you actually get it, a sixth sense sort of matter kicks in, and you only know?
Tiffanysays
Feb 7th, 2012 at eight:37 pm
Yeah I think I'm but starting to become that. I have a bad habit, from taking Abbie pics, of taking similar 100 and so that one is bound to be in focus and her eyes are open, etc. so I have to remind myself that I don't demand a dozen shots of the same rose. I'm getting amend, lol.
Karensays
February seventh, 2012 at 8:40 pm
