Whatever you do, wherever you go, never think that just because you don’t have the best camera with you that you can’t take pictures. These were taken with a Blackberry cell phone, and while they may not be able to be blown up to 11×14 size, the moments and emotions that were captures are moments that I’m glad I didn’t let pass me by just because “I don’t have a real camera with me.”

I’ve often said that the way to tell how much you love someone is not by what they help you become, but by WHO you ARE when you’re with them.

I don’t even recall where these were taken. It may have been in my parent’s yard, it may have been at work. But the colours brought me joy and happiness, and still do.

This was shot on a lazy, hot summer afternoon in my own backyard. While not what a southerner would want when asking for a “Mimosa”, it is, and the soft, wispy flowers are so delicate and pretty…until they start to fade. Then, they’re excessively unattractive.

Shot out of the kitchen window at my parents house, I probably could have manipulated contrast to make the sky more vivid or interesting — but, as is the case with all these photos, what you see is what was shot.

I love clouds. The way they shift shape, and are just, to me, so very serene.
