Focus On Life - Week 43 - In the Shadows

Greetings!  I've been MIA for a few weeks. First I was out of state for 2 weeks, on my yearly trek home to Alaska.  And 2nd, I can't for the life of me figure out how this inlinkz thing works.  Last week I did post but had trouble linking up so if you'd all be kind enough to scroll down you'll see what I posted.  Thanks.

Going to make this short and sweet this week. 
Shadows...I wish I'd have taken some pics yesterday when my daughter and I were out for an afternoon hike but it was terribly windy and nothing would have worked anyway.  Instead I'm going to post an old photo I took a couple winters ago when I was out snowshoeing along a river. I came across this beach ball frozen in the ice which I thought, given the time of year it was, an oddity.  So I took the photo just for kicks and giggles.

Have a FAB week everyone! 

Week 42 - All In A Day

I've been MIA for a few weeks.  I took a trip back home to Alaska mixing business with pleasure for 10 days.  It's the only way to go, I can write off part of the trip.  GO ME!  :)  This was the first time off I've taken since this time last year.  It felt great to leave behind everything and just "be".

Two friends went with me.  I met one in Seattle, the other flew in a day later from Boston.  3 older ladies alone in Alaska, painting the place red.  :)  We had a grand time and lived through an epic wind storm while we were in Homer.  There were wind warnings out for 90 to 120 mph wind gusts and boy did she blow.  We were staying in a beach house, right on the edge of the ocean.  No more than 50 feet away from us huge waves were crashing all night long.  In the morning it was still blowing but not quite as bad.  Needless to say, we couldn't do much that day besides sit in Two Sisters sipping coffee and having a sweet and go shopping.  Shopping in Homer is fun, but it's a small artsy fishing village and many places close up for the winter months so it didn't take long and we were done.  We spent more time at Two Sisters until it was time to figure out what to do for dinner.

All In A Day, well, I could write a story about each day away.  2 days of flying, 2 days of driving hundreds of miles, 2 days of a bead show, 1 day of great hiking, days of rain, take your pick.  I'll just post some random photo's from a day in my trip and apologize again for missing a few weeks.

I'm pretty sure I need to go back for the bachelor auction, who wants to go with me?

Focus On Life Week 39: Your Best Shot

Last week I was unable to link so if you want to see what I posted please see below post. Thanks.

My best shot, hmmm...I love taking photographs of my daughter.  She loves to be photographed.  :)  Some of my best shots I took of her on a trip to Alaska March 2012.

The pic below was taken at Glensheen Mansion in Duluth, MN a few autumn's ago.

Like any Mother, I am partial and proud of my Daughter.  She is my only child and only living relative I have contact with.  She is my life.  Of course, I have other best shots too but I wanted to let the light shine on her today.
