Valentines Day

White Roses

for me this year.  

I'm a lucky girl, but not high maintenance.  Any kind of flowers make me happy.  I just like knowing that's he'd thinking about me!

P52-Weeks 1-6

P52 is a project I'm working on in 2016.

A group of ladies who took a composition class with me are joining together to continue to hone our skills.  Each week the group leader gives us a prompt and it's up to us to find a way to incorporate that prompt into our images.
