All My "Glory"!

OK...In one of my "what the heck" kind of moods this morning. This is me in all my "glory". Never thought I could do this...really I didn't. But I am who I am and the sooner I realize this the farther I will go not only with my photography...but in my life as well. This has got to be one the hardest things I have ever done. I am normally a rather "hidden" person when it comes to my body. I have been slammed once or twice (actually much more) in my lifetime in regards to body image. It stuck pretty deep. Guess it's time to "break free"..... in more ways than one. No one will totally understand just how hard this was for me.

Gone Fishin"

These are a few photo's taken while fishing. Didn't catch a thing other than some rather healthy weeds. Being able to just relax and do something I love to do, it didn't matter to me if anything was caught or not.
Being out on the dock in the mist and quiet made it more than worthwhile.

Some bugs that crossed my path

Just a few of the bugs that I normally don't get to see in Michigan. All except the grasshopper, which we do have here but is also my "nickname"....rather partial to the little buggers.

Window Seat

I was lucky enough to have a window seat to and from Florida. Always loved looking out a planes window the few times I have flown. Just had to get a few photo's while my head was in the clouds....and it was....in more ways than one!

"Sponge"

Did you ever notice a dry sponge all stiff, inflexible and unusable?

As it absorbs water it becomes able to fulfill it's function.


Love does that to people too.

The Path

A path at Bok Gardens. A place of beauty, peace and great love.
I walked this path feeling all three.
This "path" will never leave my heart and soul.
Where it will lead me....only time will tell.
We all must follow our own path while we take this journey called "Life"
There are always a few detours along the way, but the heart always finds it's way
"HOME"

Every time I close my eyes......I will find myself there.....
ALWAYS

First "timed" shot

This self portrait was very hard for me to take. I have some "issues" with my body image. I am working very hard to get past this but it's pretty tough let me tell you! I have taken a few more "bare" photo's of myself, but I think I'll just save those for later postings.....maybe!

Didn't do to good at "sizing" this one either!! Driving me nuts!
