Last week had it's series of ups and it's downs. Most of the week was spent reassembling my computer as it had a total crash and was wiped clean. Many terrified days later we seem to be mostly intact......prayers answered. On the plus side I was thrilled to win a gorgeous upholstered bench on a favorite blog, The Enchanted Home, it pays to comment! And for great news this week, my cast comes off, a long 6 weeks! Some sort of walking boot is next, freedom!! Now, if Spring will appear.......... It is the most feminine of seasons, light, airy and bursting with all manner of pastels Crab apples, and well any flowering tree for that matter, can be the foundation for a floral arrangement Tulips are perfectly wonderful from the market, particularly if you have these bad boys! And deer, and sometimes squirrels. On our property I have both bunnies and tulips. How? We do not have a lawn service, hence no chemicals. What is then prevalent is clover, their hands down favorite food......nothing else is touched Sandra Mehl, in the shop, just sent me this image, her latest watercolor. As soon as she gets him framed, this guy will grace our walls, while looking for a good home. Your safer bet is daffodils, never bothered by marauders Or Scilla Scilla, en masse As the birds are furiously building nests, give them a hand.......imagine, all this intricacy, without hands Set out your dryer lint on top of some shrubbery, or nestled in tree limbs. The hatchlings will thank you. The Amy Howard gold leaf will be perfect for this application, cannot wait to try! Spring contributes to such lovely tablescapes Washi tape flags These charming table votives are new to the nest candle line and just arrived. Diminutive in size with a very subtle hint of an herbal scent. Pretty lined down a table. The new season is nearly here when our topiaries begin to arrive. Nothing change an interior like fresh, live greens Cheers! Debra
The best-designed outdoor spaces serve as extensions of our home, family, and lifestyle. We want our outdoor spaces to truly work as outdoor rooms that are both functional and beautiful! Whether you have a deck, porch, or
Will you consider outdoor showers? One of the greatest experiences in life - IMHO - is showering with a view. Yet, for most of us, our bathroom is the exact opposite... an area designed to exclude the world from viewing us and hence us from the world.
Who doesn't feel the pull of a walled-off space - the need to get in there and find out what's going on? A secret garden is romantic.
In this post you will find the most amazing and impressive urban art installations around the world. Prepare to get amazed!

When taking portraits, photographers who are just starting out tend to place the sun behind the camera.

But, what’s important to realize is that having the sun behind the subject can get you some amazing results. […]
The XF 50mm f1.0 is a Fujifilm prime lens rendering sharp and dreamy looks for portrait photography. I am using the XF 50mm f1.0 on the Fujifilm X-T4 which has an X-trans APSC sensor. This 50mm is the full frame equivalent to around 76mm.
I always have the best time shooting with Lexi! Lexi and I did our first shoot together back in 2015 and have done 7 since. I always know who to call when I'm feeling creative and need to shoot! Thanks for the fun Night Lexi! xx
Sunset is my absolute favourite time of day for portrait photography, just when the sun is dipping behind the treeline, the shadows are long and the light is luminous. These portraits of Amber were all taken in early September in the golden hour, on Wimbledon Common, SW London. O
