Powell River Tennessee

Friday night we took the girls camping in tennessee on the Powell river (outside of harrogate TN). It was nice to get away from the house for a bit. We did a bit of night fishing tho we didnt get a single bite. It was nice just to sit and listen to the tree frogs and night birds. we were asleep for about an hour when a hoot owl landed right above out tent and hegan to hoot! Man that thing was loud! This photo was taken on a creek that flows into the powell river. I just couldnt pass up this falls shot. I took it hand held with a slow shutter and I cant believe its in focus! I usually try to hold my camera agains a tree so i dont get a camera shake but i was standing in a narrow gravel road with no path to get to the falls like i wanted to. Im way too scared of poisonous snakes to walk anywhere i cant see my own feet in and this spot had quite a bit of brush and vines. I hope everyone has a great memorial day and please stay safe out there.

Reviving this blog

So Ive decided to revive this blog but not for the purpose of self portrait project anymore. I couldnt keep up with it and couldnt find the creativity I needed to keep it going. sothis will now just be a blog about my life and lessons that I learn along the way.

This is a photo of my baby(6yo) playing on the river bank at her grannys. I took this shot just to remember the day we spent playing in the sand, skipping rocks and just chatting. I have spent far too much time trying to be "creative and artistic" lately and It was way past time I got back to the basics of just enjoying my babies and watching them grow and become wonderful people.
