Let the Photos, Food and Fun begin!

“Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow.” Imogen Cunningham

No truer words have been spoken by a photographer. There’s always something more beautiful that comes along. My passion for photography is real. It’s a place where I come alive and never want to leave.

Welcome to my blog. I want to create a space for the love and learning of photography. At a very early age, I was interested in this art form, but I didn’t take it seriously until later in life. As the saying goes it’s never to late. This will be a space to explore, create and inspire. My main focus here will be landscape, wildlife and macro photography.

I’ll also be sharing some of my other interests, ranging from cooking and self reliance, to DIY projects and art. What’s life without a little variety?

As far as my cooking style goes, I tend to lean to lower carb meals. Add some keto and paleo here and there, and I’m good to go. I like to change things up to keep it interesting. I’ll be sharing my favorite recipes and hope you’ll give them a try.

I’m sure most of you have heard of the famous Instant Pot, an electric pressure cooker. It’s my most prized kitchen appliance! A must have for anyone with limited time for cooking. There are so many ways you can incorporate the IP into your daily meals. A favorite recipe of mine is 1 minute easy-peel hard boiled eggs. On the sweeter end, I love cheese cake, yes, cheese cake, cooked in the IP. It offers so many possibilities, from soup to nuts.

I’ve also got a crafty side. My love for the Silhouette Cameo is real. The wonderful projects you can create with a Silhouette or Cricut machine can be mind boggling! From simple cutouts to the complex 3D buildings, you’re only limited by your imagination.

Lastly, I’ll be sharing my love for maple tapping, canning, dehydrating, and more.

Well now you know a little about me and what I’m about. I’ve been told many times: “you should be a teacher.” I love teaching people new things and helping them to expand in new ways. It’ll be great to learn together as we go along.

For years I’ve wanted to blog and make my own products. I have what I’d like to call an inventor’s mind.  I’ve wanted to create many things throughout my life. I told myself: “no more what if’s, just do it”. So here I am, writing my first blog post. If I can do it, so can you. I challenge you to do something you’ve always dreamed of. If there’s a will, there’s a way!

Never stop learning! Strive for more and push the envelope. Face the fear head on and tell it “no”! With hard work and stubbornness we can all make our dreams come true. We will make it happen.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you come back and visit! I’ll always have something new to share. There will be many additions here as time goes on. Have a great day!
