Miss Elaine-ous Monday at it’s best…

July 23, 2012 by Elaine

I did a little shopping for BlogHer this weekend.  I admit I have a bit of an addiction to clothes and shoes.  But since I added some new items to my wardrobe I also bagged up some older never worn really things to take to the local resale shop.  It’s a process.  I still have…

I Love You Instagram

July 20, 2012 by Elaine

Underneath one of the pictures I posted on Instagram the other day I wrote that I kinda feel like it (instagram) is becoming my “mini-blog”.  And I’m not sure how I feel about that.  I mean obviously, I am HERE posting, most days and I still love my “big blog” and of course the people who read…

Grand Memories

July 19, 2012 by Elaine

There are only a few pictures of me and my grandparents.  Actually, I’m not even sure I have a picture with either of my Grandfathers (one passed away when I was 3) and there might be one or two of me with my Mom’s mother somewhere.  I do have some photos of me with my…

What Up Cuz?

July 12, 2012 by Elaine

My children spent a ton of time with their cousins in Austin earlier this week.  From trips to the park across from my parents’ house to races up and down the sidewalk to getting rained out at a quarry splash pad, they had a great time.  I’m so happy they get to spend time like…

2 years ago…

June 23, 2012 by Elaine

Some people think I take too many pictures.  Perhaps “some people” are my husband or the lady who looked at me funny while on vacation a couple of weeks ago, taking a photo of my daiquiri. What? It was GOOOD. But I truly believe that photos give us a glimpse back in time that our minds…

Our Own Photoshoot

June 20, 2012 by Elaine

The last night we were in Florida it was threatening to storm, which would of course be the same night we had planned to do photos on the beach. Of course. (I know I already said that). About the time we were getting ready it was literally pouring.  And then?  By the time we drove…

At the water

June 14, 2012 by Elaine

On Sunday the water on the Emerald Coast was just as it should be, colored in the beautiful blues and greens that it is notorious for.  I could have lounged in my beach chair for the entire day but some dogone kids wanted lunch and needed to rest, blah, blah, blah. It was nothing short…

I had to just close my eyes and point at some photos…

June 13, 2012 by Elaine

Seriously, people. I took so many photos on our beach vacation that it’s really hard to choose which ones to post. So these are just from our trip out there and our first evening. I’ll try to be more discerning in posts to come, but it’s gonna be really HARD. Just F to the Y…

Abundance

May 31, 2012 by Elaine

A friend of mine and I split a 12 week share of CSA (community supported agriculture) from a local farm and besides the beets and too many leeks to use, we’ve been enjoying it quite a bit. Yesterday I posted this picture on Instagram and twitter because I was not sure what this was.  I…

About this photography thing…

May 29, 2012 by Elaine

I grabbed my camera the other morning after sitting on the back porch with my coffee.  K came through the door to join me and I noticed how beautiful her eyes shone in the morning light as she approached me.  I couldn’t resist taking her picture for the bajillionth time. At one point I switched…
