Wonderful time of year

I absolutely love this time of year. Really, I like all the seasons when it's cooler, but fall is certainly one of my top favorites. I also look forward to the many photo opportunities that this time of year provides, and I am hoping that this year I can once again enjoy taking numerous photos.

I apologize for not posting in so long, but truthfully I don't think anyone looks at this blog anyway.  :)  I do hope to start posting new photos on my Facebook page soon, so please stay tuned! Here's hoping that everyone else is enjoying this new season!

Despite the rain and gloom in our region...

... Take heart and be of good cheer. You can't have a rainbow -- or pretty bright flowers -- without the rain.  :)  Here's a bright happy rose to remind us of brighter days:

I hope all of you have a wonderful week!  And remember -- with each post, you can click on any photo you'd like to view it full-size (an advantage over Facebook!).  :)

Bees & Butterflies

It was a lovely spring day Sunday, and my mom's two azalea bushes were lovely, so I took the opportunity to snap some springtime photos in between our family photos by the bushes. Here are some of the ones I came up with...

It was also my first opportunity to actually and finally be able to get some shots of a butterfly!  :)  I was very excited, but I hope to eventually be able to take more butterfly shots.

Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely spring weather!

Finally back

Well, after two weeks or so without a personal computer, I am glad to finally be able to say my beloved home computer is back up and running again as of this afternoon! What a blessing. I'm so glad to finally have it up and going again. Obviously the lack of a home computer to use has made me get really behind in personal things. I'm going to work on gradually catching up as I'm able to though.

Along with my return come a few new photos. I have uploaded them to my Facebook page now. They are in the categories of "flowers," "rain droplets" and "other." Sometime soon I hope to do a few color splashes using those photos.

I hope all is well with everyone. Please don't give up on me -- I'm still here and plan on keeping it that way.  ;)  Take care!

A bright, sunshiney day

Today turned out to be a rather pretty day, much to my delight.  It seemed like more of an actual "spring" day, and several people seemed happy with that.

There is a flowering tree in our front yard that I always enjoy seeing bloom. For the life of me I cannot recall the type of tree someone told me it was almost 5 years ago, but I just love it. It is in full bloom now, so I thought today would be a good time to get a shot of it and add it to my collection.

So, here it is.  :)

Fans = happiness

I am very happy to see that I now have 25 fans on my Facebook page. Not too bad. I look at it as being one-quarter of 100.  ;)  I don't want to bug too many people about being a fan of the page, so I've just sent it out to some of my friends. I'm hopeful people will like what they see and maybe recommend me to others, or maybe people will even just see it and visit out of curiousity. What's the world without hope, right?  :)

I have posted more photos to my Facebook page now, but still need to post some here, as well, to show some examples of the photos I have to offer. Feel free to e-mail me with any questions, or to order any photo prints or note cards at: Godsfingerprintsphotos@gmail.com

Thanks, everyone, for your support!

Quick update

I started my Facebook page for my small business today, as well. So far I'm the only fan, but I hope that will increase soon.  ;)  I spent a good deal of time tonight combing through several of my photos, choosing some to help promote this little business, copying them to a central location, and watermarking photos to post online. Of course, the watermarks will not appear on photo prints or note-cards.

Unfortunately, now I'm too tired to post any photos here. I hope to do that soon, though. Meanwhile, I have put a Facebook page badge on my blog here, so feel free to check out the photos there. Until the next time!

Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog for my side business, "God's Fingerprints Photography." After the encouraging of some friends, I had decided to start a side business to offer some of my photos to the public. I love photography and take photos every chance I get. I especially enjoy trying to capture things that people may sometimes be too busy to notice or really appreciate -- some of the small every day wonders God blesses us with, but that sometimes we rush right past without a thought. These photos are primarily my attempts to capture those things.

I will be offering sets of note cards with my photos on them, individual photo prints in various sizes, and framed and/or matted photo prints.

I hope everyone will enjoy my photos. Feel free to comment leaving your feedback on individual photos, etc. Stay tuned for photos to be posted, prices, etc.

"God's fingerprints are all around us, if only we take the time to look."
