Weekly Photo Challenge: Together

I have always posted examples of my own photography for the weekly photo challenges, but this week I’m switching it up a bit due to the theme. When I read the word “together” I instantly thought about my fiance, Isaac.  Since September of 2007, we have spent almost every day together (except the year we…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Journey

Okay so the weekly photo challenge was posted last Friday, I’m a bit late. It was a busy weekend full of family, food, exercise, and relaxation. I hope everyone had a Happy Easter!  Here is a picture from my recent beach trip that says “journey” to me. It just so happens to be four of…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Contrast

SCUBA Diving in the Cenotes of Mexico. I love the contrast of the perfectly blue water with our silhouettes. I wouldn’t go skydiving for $10,000 or a life-time supply of frozen yogurt.
