Winter Wonderland at the Lake

Combine snow and Tennessee and you get lots of days off from school. As my husband is a teacher, that means no work for him. Well, multiply that times FIVE and you get what we deemed our very cold but glorious week together. One afternoon, instead of staying inside where it was all warm and cozy, we ventured out to the lake instead. Not to swim of course, but to enjoy the serene stillness and winter wonderland. We set up a hammock over a rock ledge and even made a fire out there. Our dog took off in the woods and got some of his energy out, while we enjoyed a completely unusual but wonderful day at the lake.

La La La & the Holidays

We did all kind of traveling and wonderful things for the holidays this year. Lots of photographing and special shoots were also part of the agenda. The crazy things is that I did so much photography, I actually got tired of it-I can hardly believe it! I didn't know that was possible for me. : ) But it was all so very good. That said, I have TONS of photos on my editing list. Here are just a few that I've gotten to....and very special ones at that. They are from our trip to New Mexico. My husband surprised me with a trip home this Christmas, and it was so special to be back and visit with my family...and it satisfied my long awaited desire for a vacation.
