tickling the ivory..

just a random pic of miss hayley playing my piano.. :)

a postcard from scotland

my sweet jeanie friend is shooting a wedding in scotland this week. she's touring about on the days prior and post wedding..taking amazing photos and experiencing the scottish culture..

she had mentioned that she wanted to rent a 16-35 L 2.8 lens for the trip.

i was like, "girl! i have one - use mine already! dont pay to rent!" so she brought it along with her.

i told her there was only one stipulation - she had to take a photo of my lens in front of a castle... :)

side note: i'm kinda starting a collection - any of my friends in places i'd like to go to with any of my gear or anything that belongs to me, send me a pic of my stuff at the place..liz started it in february..see that blog post here!) yes i know..i'm a weird breed...)

she did. she rocks. :)

sometimes the reminder is needed..

an old friend from my portland bible college days posted this link to his blog that i'm subscribed to...

wow...this is a video of louie giglio...watch it and be utterly amazed.

some days, these sorts of things bring it all back into perspective..

with this ring

i have this fabulous friend i met in college way back in 1991 in portland oregon where we met at our school. her name is ali.. she was/is one of the most amazing hair stylists i have come across...an amazing singer (she had a amazing singing career too!)..and a genuine woman.

in the last few years she established this really amazing foundation..i won't try and explain it all to you, except that it is touching many across the world.

check it out..and what a fabulous charity to give to if you're a bride and would rather some of the money you use on favors or what not, go to a cause that will make a difference for generations to come.. and if you're already married, i challenge you to take a look...

be blessed!

Grow




Oh growing ache
That does not suspend
Feed into my withering heart
A longing that will not end

Comfort, dispel, guide and mark
Bring hope and life and grace so stark
For moments' work and pain

Give me Mystery's living water
Sustaining dark and doleful furrows
Where small seeds dropped in ancient age
Grow restively, beyond where darkness can assuage
