Love Your Shot! | Link-Up

by Misti on September 19, 2010

Steve and I took a relaxing Sunday drive together this afternoon. And of course, along the way I had to stop and take some photos…I couldn’t help myself, there were these pretty little wild sunflowers along the side of the road just begging to be photographed.

Love Your Shot! | Link-Up

by Misti on August 26, 2010

It’s that time again, time for the Love Your Shot! Link-Up. This week I’m featuring the color red…it’s happy, exciting, and dynamic…and it’s my favorite color. What better way to feature red than with a red rose… Whenever I’m shooting flowers, I always look for opportunities to combine them with man-made materials, such as wrought [...]

Sweet Shot Tuesday | Forgotten Times

by Misti on August 16, 2010

Have you ever wanted to take a walk back in time and visit an era that’s long been forgotten? Well, if I had the chance, you can bet I’d go back to the Nineteen Forties.  It was so much more simple back then…time didn’t fly by so fast and there was just a certain charm to…well…just about everything…the way of life, [...]

Love Your Shot! | Link-Up

by Misti on August 12, 2010

For those of you who have not seen the movie, “Horton Hears a Who!”, I must apalogize in advance. For what I’m about to write will make no sense to you whatsoever, and you might just think I’ve lost my mind. This is my favorite, and by far the most classic line in the movie, when [...]

Imagination.

by Misti on April 12, 2010

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.“   –Albert Einstein To me, imagination is everything! I remember when I was younger, I would often stare up at the sky, send my thoughts up there to float among the clouds. I remember how good it felt to be lost in the moment. When I ran across this quote today, this memory [...]
