You may, or may not have noticed, that this site hasn't had any new images added since mid-March. Not sure why this happened, but I am happy to announce that this site is back up and running, and you will be seeing more posts.

Through the Looking Glass. #blackandwhite #iphoneography
You might have to look close at this picture to really see what's going on. Let me know if you don't get it.

Life Lessons. #blackandwhite #iphoneography
Sometimes success isn't measured on where you start on the "ladder of life", but has more to do with the determination and will to make the most of your situation.

The Hills Are Alive. #blackandwhite #iphoneography
Well, this isn't a shot of the hills of Austria, but it is a nice image of a small patch of heaven. There were fields of these beautiful flowers.

In the Shadow of Area 51. #blackandwhite #iphoneography
I took this picture the other day when I went to see The Last Airbender (click to read my review) with my family. Lyndie, my youngest (4), wanted to ride on my shoulders. Perfect looking alien shadow, huh?

Don't Tread on Me. Seriously. Don't. I thought the title is fitting of the picture, seeing as the monster that these treads belong to weighs a ton (or more). #blackandwhite #iphoneography

Got Dirt? This was a part of the backhoe that was sitting on where our new house is being built. Lots and lots and lots of dirt.

Small Cart, Big 6-Year Old. We took our kids to The Quilted Bear the other day—mistake number one. That store has way too many things for them to touch. The rule was, if you touch something and don't listen, you have to sit in the cart. Not two minutes into the store, and Logan, my 6-year old, was in the cart. Problem is, the carts there are miniature. He wasn't happy.

Smoke Bombs For Everyone. We started the Independence Day celebrations with smoke bombs and pop-its. After we got done with the smoke bombs, I saw an opportunity for a cool photo. Logan helped out by standing at the end of the line.

My Weapon of Choice (For Today). You've probably seen this guy before. He belongs to my Fantastic Four. Sometimes all the will suffice is a good old pen.

Along For the Ride. Check this out! I found this baby dragonfly on the path one morning, just chillin' in the shade. I picked him up (he really didn't have a choice, seeing as he was cold) and took him with me the rest of the way to work. Check out the detail in his wings!

The Letter T. (series) Not much to say about this one, it's pretty straight forward. If I can mix it up a little, I might try and find upper and lower case.

The Letter I. (series) I have decided to look for shapes that make letters—not full time or anything hardcore, just when they present themselves. I am going to try and avoid taking shots of actual letters—but there are always exceptions to rules.

Wee Little Mushroom. I love this shot—probably one of my favorites. This mushroom was so small and was just able to peek over the top of the grass around it.
