I can see clearly now...

Sometimes you need to climb to the top of the mountain to gain a little perspective. literally. or if not a mountain at least a very big hill. I'm blessed to have one such very big hill behind my house that offers the perfect place to step back and be thankful for what I have...

So a few days ago (well more then a few) Ali and I decided to take a hike to clear our heads and it turned into an impromptu photo sesh...devoid of makeup or pretense. I don't have all the photos yet but I figured I would post what was on my camera. 

Ali and Mahi taking it all in

Weekend Shenanigans...

 Is it just me or do the weekends go by faster as we get older??  I spent mine pretty much doing nothing...although i did plant my summer veggies and frolicked on a stormy beach with the ones I love (playing with my new fujifilm x10). Did you have any good weekend shenanigans?

Mahi and her new toy...

A little taste from my weekend to brighten up this gloomy monday...

I'm late Im late for a very important date!

 Monday was a hodge podge of activities... Ali, Emily and I put together a little tea party sans the tea in my front garden; sandwiches lemonade and the cutest cupcakes ever. Then we had some fun trying to capture a shot for Ali's design school portfolio. She needed a magazine cover that had went with the store she created, hence the myriad of outfits I wore on this lovely sunny day..

                                                     

Emily and her absolutely beautiful boy, Thomas.

The white dress wasn't working against the turquoise dresser as an editorial piece sooo on to dress number two!
