For those who might be new to my blog, I am based in the Columbia Basin of Washington state. I love using natural light to capture agriculture, flowers, and the world around me. I also do portrait and pet photography, as the occasion arises.

Happy Anniversary to Me! »

Ordinary: Dream Land

February 14, 2009

Dream land

Valentine’s Day…a day for love and lovers.  Unless you’re single.  Like me. 

This year, however, I get to celebrate the fact that my oldest son, N, is engaged to a wonderful young lady, and the love of his life, H.  I hear love in their voices when they talk to each other, even when they are giving each other a hard time.  I see love in their eyes when they look at each other.  I see happiness.   I see love.

Stolen words whispered in the other’s ear. 

Stolen glances across the room. 

Stolen kisses, when they think I’m not looking. 

More kisses even when I am. 

Love.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Don’t forget to come back tomorrow for my one-year blog anniversary giveaway!

PS.  Just one bit of exciting news for me that I wanted to share.  I’m participating in the One Word Project at Shutter Sisters and this morning I went to see what photo they chose for today.  I saw the title pop up and it read “ordinary by dailyvignette“, but it wasn’t until I scrolled down and saw the image that I realized it was me!  Too funny.  I’m so excited!

    Lovely mix of words, Toni. They go well with this grey bit of beauty…a mix in itself.

    The wispy nature of this shot makes it very appealing to me. Fine choice of branches and placed very well in the frame. Nice range of B&W tones. Happy Valentine’s day.

    The light softly glowing behind the dark branch and icy bits accents this nicely! You are making love black and whites.

    I saw your photo at SS earlier today: congratulations!

    I love the selective focus on this lovely image of nature. The tones and lighting are bang on though I’m especially drawn by the nice shallow dof you used for this beautiful image.
