Water House Special Park

It's amazing to live in an area that is so rich in history. Montgomery County Recreation Department has so much to offer with much of it being free. A few weeks ago we visited Water House Special Park in Germantown, MD. I'm looking forward to touring the main house and exploring the grounds further once all the snow is completely gone.

Party Time

It's truly a gift to be a stay at home mom ... being involved in my children's school and education is so important to me! Yesterday, I had a great time going back and forth between my children's classrooms -- I loved watching everyone as they celebrated Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day 2011

From my family to yours

Week 28 - Project 365

PROJECT 365 - A PHOTO A DAY FOR A FULL YEAR

Day 190 - What a beautiful day to be outside enjoying life!

Day 191 - I've wanted to take a photo of this abandon farm for the longest time --- I would love to explore it more closely but the no trespassing signs kept me at a distances.

Day 192 - Just thought I would take a picture of $2.5 Billion! The first portion of the ICC is due to open later this year.

Day 193 - Did you know that Derwood had a drive-in movie theatre?

Day 194 - The Brookeville Angel caught my attention today ....parking in Brookeville wasn't too easy but I think it was well worth it.

Day 195 - I love living in an area that has so much history. One of these weekends the family is going to take a tour of Oakley Cabin.

Day 196 - This is for my husband - he loves this window in his parents house. The shelf is straight but the window is not!

When Love Begins ...

This time of year brings out the hopeless romantic in me.

When love begins ... beautiful things happen!

Turning 3

These photos are long overdue - Miss Natalie turned 3 in November. We had a lot of fun taking these photos - it was a great afternoon together (okay the cookies really helped). Yes it's true - I can't help it I'm a proud mom and just had to share the whole lot of photos with you all.

High Key

The popularity of high key photography has grown in recent years. A beautiful high key photograph is light and airy and most importantly the image has detail. Some photographs (like the middle and end photo) lack dimension ... facial features can be 'bright' to say the least. If you are a fan of high key photography make sure that body parts don't get washed away.
