Only the Ocean

I think I could live happily just about anywhere in the world as long as there was a beach close at hand. The beach is my refuge and my home and I couldn.t imagine life without it.

all these lines will all be erased soon
They go out with the tide
Then come back with the waves

the place we love most

the sea is just a wetter version of the sky.

it.s all a bit hazy in the midst of it

swing life away

The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him
-Lamentations 3:25-

good morning world

Meet the Family

Last weekend my siblings and I took some surprise photos for my mums birthday. The surprise went of without a hitch and she was a wee bit overjoyed at the results. Of course, the whole thing prompted a family themed week. So, without further delay, meet the family:

meet the parents, a dynamic duo ♥

meet the kids: the fantastic four

meet the eldest, special K

meet the sister.in.law, a lovely addition

meet the sister, the family historian

meet the younger.older.brother, purchased off e.bay

it was lovely to meet you

Sunshine & A Cloudy Day

Last weekend was fairly busy, filled with long drives, secret schemes, and of course, plenty of photographs. On Friday though, I was privileged to photograph the wedding of Thomas & Samantha Myers. It was small and simple, but sometimes simplicity lends itself to the best pictures.

A Secret Garden

Our garden is currently bursting with life and new blossoms so I just couldn.t resist sharing some shots this week. Other things I can.t resist sharing: shots from a sunshine, yellow wedding and shots from my family.s portrait session.... but those will be in a later post after I finish editing a few more. For now, though, I give you week 22:

"If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden forever."

"not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these"
-Matthew 6:29

A Flamingo in a Flock of Pigeons

Flamingos are kinda one of my favorite animals. It began as a bit of a joke but as I slowly began to acquire more and more flamingo paraphernalia I became a bit more attached to them. So it was only natural that Operation Narwhal would feature a flamingo week....
