vivid





I've been busy tonight putting together my photography blog called vivid, which is where these abstracts have been recently been posted. I created vivid so that I could have a forum to share my photos with everyone, and to challenge myself to become more creative and prolific with my photography (besides the usual family snapshots). Vivid will feature everything from abstracts (like the ones above), to people and pets, to landscapes and nature in general. Information on the photos themselves, like technical and place/time details, will be included with each post, so you can see what I was doing with my camera(s).

I suppose whatever strikes my fancy, I'll photograph, right? So stop by and check it out if you like. I plan to post new photos regularly, and as always, I invite comments and questions. I'm still tinkering with it a bit, but I'm pretty pleased with how it's looking right now. Vivid is a fun venture for me, and is just one more avenue for my creative urges, which are usually stifled at my day job...

As for my nightly guilty pleasure of blog reading, I'll have to pick up where I left off yesterday. It's been a hectic night and I only just finished posting pictures to vivid. And thanks to everyone who has been leaving such kind comments on this blog. I love sharing my life and interests with people, so I hope you've enjoyed the ride so far. And thanks for checking out ShoeLove, too! I'll be back tomorrow night on my usual blog reading schedule. See you then!

(P.S. Yes, I did change my profile pic again... I guess I just have all these new ideas and can't settle on one thing I like. Right now, it's the camera!)

It's here, lovelies!



What a way to turn a gray, cold, and rainy day into a bright and happy one. ShoeLove has officially started up, and Georgia and I are both very excited to get things underway. Take some time to check it out in the next several days, as we begin posting everything shoe related. Yay!

(P.S. Be sure to check out our very first post, which features an exceptionally written ode to shoe love by Jessi of Dancing in the Moonlight.)

A drop of sunshine for a happy Friday



I am wearing these sunny mustard yellow mary janes from Target today. I already own a turquoise pair, but while browsing online a few weeks ago these cheery yellow ones caught my eye. I haven't seen them in any of the actual Target stores in my area, so I had to order them online. I think they're very cute, not too flashy, good heel hight, and a lovely shade of yellow (not a super intense neon yellow or anything). I've been craving yellow this season, and this is a nice way to add a dash of it to my wardrobe. Well, they arrived yesterday, so wearing them right away is a must for me. And really I need a bit of happiness today.

And as for you readers who are patiently waiting for ShoeLove to start up, have no fear! I am finishing up the banner this weekend, and we should be up and running shortly. I have had several late nights this week and have been getting home pretty late, so I have been unable to work too much on the banner at all. So that's my fun little job this weekend, despite being suddenly forced to work OT on Saturday, and having an important family function to go to on Sunday. Anyhow, I can't wait to place the banner when it's done. I hope you like it.

And Georgia and I would like to encourage people to send us pix of their favorite shoes, or shoes they are currently drooling over, or links to their favorite shoe websites, or even stories/quotes/tips/tricks/suggestions/etc. I think we all enjoy sharing what we love about shoes, and we definitely like to talk about our most cherished pairs, so this blog should be quite fun for us all, don't you think?

Have a happy Friday!
