a detour on our walks
There is a gate leading to a small field close to our house. We took family pictures there a few years ago, when we were waiting for our youngest to come home:
As we pass by on walks, the open gate beckons my oldest daughter to come explore. I’ve snapped a few shots with my phone recently and keep thinking, “I need to bring my big camera on a walk.” So, I did. Granted the walk is more like a few steps out the front door.

Registration for both of my April/May online photography courses (SnapShops for phone & DSLR) is open, courses begin on Monday. Both courses are my approach to capturing my days with my phone & DSLR – going over composition and storytelling. The phone course also covers tips, tricks and apps related to phone photography. The DSLR course is for the beginner wanting to better understand how to use a camera – going from Auto to Manual. Click here for more information on each course and to register.
