Focusing through the Lens: Week 15

Week 15? I know the week is off but y’all I have been spending more time with my little family. So we are going to start back on Week 15 and also change the format of this a little. I will be sharing photos and then a little about them at the end of the post. I may change it back but for now I am going to try this. I would love to hear which one you like better. All these were taken in downtown Texarkana. I am starting to work on my portrait work. I am glad my Glitterbug doesn’t mind helping me out by being my model. Bless her as we spent about two hours taking pictures. As we got ready to leave, we saw the feather clouds with pink/orange sky. We pulled over and I was able to snap a few of the sky. I would say the feather sky is one of my favorite. I am hoping to order a print of it to hang in my hallway. I hope you enjoyed this walk through the lens of my camera. Would you order a print of anything I have taken? Tell me in the comments.

Focusing Through the Lens: Week 14

Hey y’all! I know it has been two weeks since we last walked through some pictures together. Life has been happening at break neck speed. Which I am sure we all feel that way during this period of the year. Last week was a wonderful exciting week for me. I went to Blissdom with two amazing ladies and had a blast! I can tell you if they have it next year, I will be going. Until then come take a look and focus on what has been captured through my lens. Thank you again for walking with me and looking through the lens. Don’t forget to share this post if you like it!

Focusing Through the Lens: Week 13

Hey y’all! We have made it to week 13. Truthfully this week, I haven’t taken many pictures. November usually marks a slowing down period on social, photography, and blog. I am trying this year to really not step into the slow down period and instead focusing on growing. So this week is going to be about simple things we have done. Come take a walk with through my lens. I hope you have enjoyed our little trip with Blu and our preteen. Let’s pull up a virtual chair and share about you week in the comments.

Focusing Through the Lens: Week 11

This past week, we had a cold front come through which means FOG!! Y’all I know I say “such and such is one of my favorite things to photograph” but seriously I have a lot of favorites. I am sure this is not going to come as a shock to you but I have a secret stash of stories most people haven’t seen. One story has a line about the main character walking through fog into a field. Also my mind tends to make up new stories dealing with fog when it happens. So walk with me and let’s make up some new stories with the fog. Thank you for hang out in the fog with me this week. Don’t forget to share your thoughts on the 3rd photo. I am so excited to see what y’all have!

Focusing Through the Lens: Week 10

Hey y’all! I am so sorry for missing last week. Every year my birthday week makes me a little blue and get out of touch with everyone. So we are going to pretend this week is last week. So without further ado, let’s go take a peek through the Lens. Again I am sorry about disappearing on y’all last week. I do have another post to share this week and it should be ready late tonight or early Thursday. Also, I have not forgot about the trip I hinted about last week. So let’s play a game of where in Arkansas do you think we are going?

Focusing Through the Lens: Week 9

This past week has been full of sickness and spending time at home. This week I have a couple of pictures from other weeks but most are from this week. Next week, we will be taking a little trip here in Southwest Arkansas. I can’t wait for y’all to come on this trip with me.

Adventure, Stories

Murals of Hope Arkansas

Every once and a while, we like to play tourist in our town. There are so many neat things to do and see here in our little town. Recently we decided to see some of the murals around town. I knew there were a couple but once we got looking around it became evident there are more than I first thought. These pictures don’t do these great murals justice. This is just one of the many things you should come see here and don’t forget to let me know when you make it to town!
