Last week I asked God to show me LOVE and my prayers were answered each and every time I looked up. However today God showed me so much love through the lives of others people that my soul is so full.
I spent my Sunday morning with my awesome dog Dodger. We passed out Do Something Kits (hygiene kits) complete with homemade cookies to homeless people here in Hollywood.
Afterwards I dropped Dodger at home and headed out to a birthday party at Griffith Park I was hired to photograph. This family was awesome and at a time when I miss my family the most, it was so nice to see a family so filled with compassion and love.
Before heading home I took some pictures of the Californian sign in Griffith Park. I then stopped off at Trader Joe's before heading home I spent some quality time with Dodger.
I'm enjoying this drink right now with a huge smile on my face. It's days like these where I have to take a second to breathe and take in all the blessing and goodness that God bestows on me daily.
My life is far from perfect, but it is filled with an abundance of grace, mercy and the high favor of God.So for this I will always be so thankful for my amazing life.
WEEK 10/ Story: Perspective/ Perspective for the purpose of this challenge is the relationship of objects in the scene. If you really want a challenge this is a good chance to use forced perspective. #Dogwood52 #instagood #project52 #dogwood2017 #dogwoodweek10
This week's challenge was to critique our own photo editing...and redo. I set this shot up several times and played with all kinds of compositions before I settled on one of the simpler ones. I will still be looking for a better background...this bench is too narrow. Without Lightroom I did all my editing in PSE10 including some minor changes in hue and levels and adding a warming filter. I also added two of Kim Klassens textures, Desert and Subtly Yours. I still find it a bit dark along the bottom edge but preferred it to some of my other edits.
The local Mexican restaurant at the end of our street goes all out for Halloween. We walked down for lunch with Jenny and Dani 15 minutes before they opened today, otherwise, it's a 45 minute wait to get in during this time of the year.
For the group 52 in 2013.

Last weekend we had snow and sunny weather with minus degrees and now we have sunshine and plus degrees and all the snow is gone. Crazy weather.
all the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
if I was in L.A

This is one of the many masks we have around the house and in the yard. This is a big one, almost a foot and a half across, and one of my favorites.
For the Something that begins with M theme at 52 in 2013.
It wasn't all about Splash this week. ...Poor guy felt he needed to "act out" for a little attention. In his book, negative attention is better, than no attention at all. His idea of a toss pillow ...and my idea of a toss pillow are entirely different!
Splash fact #3 - LOVES belly rubs. For all his vibrato and constant motion...he's a bit like a shark...turn him over on his back and tickle his belly, he's sublimely comatose.
My first attempt at fireworks using the Bulb setting. They were quite far off in the distance. Wish they had gone on for longer though so I could have tried some more settings. Lots of fun!
Week 1: As we move into the New Year I once again finding myself making resolutions. This year its around getting back into shape. I'll enjoy these 3 Innis and Gunn because they may be my last for a while.
For as many Thanksgivings as I can remember, our family has made pierogies together. As children we all made them together and as my brothers grew up and moved out I made them alone with my parents. When Michael had his girls, they were taught and joined in the tradition with us. Now I have a daughter and we are teaching her the same as my Bacie taught me.
Cheese are easier to fill than sauerkraut (because it’s so pokey!) but no matter what you fill, it’s important not to overfill because they will come apart when boiled. And the filling of them is only half the art. It’s also important that you wet the rim of the dough and use your fork to not crimp only one side, but both sides of the pierogie. This will ensure that more pierogies make it through the boiling process (though if you ask my dad and brothers, the more noodles, the better). I remember my Bacie teaching me these things.
My job was to fill and crimp. Mark helped me. Michael often rolled out the dough which my mom made. My dad would stand in front of the stove and an open window, cigarette smoke and steam swirling around him, as my mom and he debated again, as they do every year, how many minutes after the pierogies have risen do you then take them out of the pot. As a child, this conversation would end in a phone call to my Bacie, now it ends in someone searching for the recipe and the notes written and crossed out on them over the years.
We all have our own traditions now and I can’t remember the last Christmas we all spent together but I think we all still make pierogies to eat with our families on Christmas Eve at Wigilia after we’ve broken and shared the Christmas wafer (usually a cut out sugar cookie in our house).
Wigilia is my favorite part of Christmas. As a child, I loved setting the extra place setting for the stranger and listening to my father’s stories of looking for the first star in the sky. I love breaking wafer with my loved ones, hugging them and wishing them well. I can remember my parents hugs as they whispered wishes of an amazing new year after a particularly difficult year. I remember the excitement on the years when I was on the precipice of a large life change like graduation, a move or my pregnancy with Olive. I love how we all greedily ate pierogies on the one day a year they were available to eat. And how after dinner, too full to get up and do anything, we sat around and told stories about when my brother’s were little or about my father growing up in Fishtown, Philadelphia. I would sit ay my place at the table, look at the tree in the next room and sleepily dream about the next morning.
Growing up, no one I knew celebrated Wigilia and I loved having this tradition which was so ritualized and special to our family. I hope that Olive grows up feeling the same way. I hope that my family will always be able to join us and that our house is always welcome to friends and strangers at Christmastime.
