Adopt a Shelter Cat month

In honor of June being Adopt a Shelter Cat month, I decided to feature our rescued kitties. They are actually two years old but I still think of them as kittens. We got them when they were three months old from a local rescue. (Thanks, Robin!)

These two are sisters...who I didn't have the heart to separate.  :)
We found out that a local rescue had three kittens remaining from a litter for adoption.  My sister wanted one.  My oldest daughter wanted one.  Well, we just couldn't leave the third one by herself, of course.
We took all three to my house when we got them and immediately I noticed a connection between these two.  (Ironically, my sister had already chosen the other kitten, who was much more independent.)  Although they look so much alike, these two are so opposite.  One is outgoing; the other reserved.  One is easy-going; the other is more easily irritated.  One loves dogs; the other one tolerates the dogs.
When they are separated for too long, they will search the house for the other one...crying for the "missing" one if she isn't located quickly.  They are so bonded.  I lovingly nicknamed them "the twins" not only due to their close likeness in looks but their unique bond.  They eat together, play together, sleep together...do everything together.
Both of them are sweethearts...and we are so happy to have them!

Restoring and restructuring

When I was a teenager, my daddy purchased a 1966 Mustang. It was my dream car! Needless to say, I drooled over the potential of driving such a gorgeous vehicle.
My dad has done some work to restore it over the years. However, recently he passed the treasure to me (and my hubby)! I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to work on restoring my dream!

If you have noticed that I have been a bad blogger lately.  I have.
I'm working on restructuring (particularly with regard to my photography).
My current website is out-of-date with no plans to update it. I have worked on another website and will more than likely be using it instead. 
I am planning to keep this blog and hopefully will be sharing some images from time to time.

Until the next time...  :)

for the love of education

No matter what stage I am in life, learning new things has always been a priority to me. That's why I'm such a huge fan of creativeLIVE!  I always learn something new from their workshops.  It doesn't hurt when one of my favorite instructors/photographers is leading the virtual classroom. :)
Thank you, creativeLIVE and Jasmine Star!!!

at the last minute

The sun was quickly setting when my daughter requested a quick photo session. We hurried outside to catch the last of the golden rays of sunlight for the day. The bonus: I captured another favorite image of a very special person in my life! ♥
