{Part 1, Part 2} I bounded up the steps, excited to tell him how well my interview had gone, but even before I could knock on the door, he was standing there, blonde hair shining, smiling ear to ear. It still took my breath, this man who stole my heart in less than two weeks. And...
love.
Patty, what a
beautiful, beautiful
story and a memories
to hold close, forever….
I have a ’95 and a ’98
as well : ) Your
husband sounds like
a gem and I’m looking
forward to hearing “the
rest of the story….”

You make me cry everytime with these remembrances.

First, my deepest apologies for not being consistent last week… We’ve had some serious weather moving through these parts and my internet connection was sketchy at best, and was out for over 30 hours last Tuesday through Wednesday. Please, link last weeks’ post below, if you were ready and want to… Or link both last...

Looks sort of like a Carolina/Clemson match up. I will say your son is wearing the right color. 
Aperture is the only thing I fully understand on my camera right now. The other stuff is coming into focus slowly, but surely. My main problem right now is getting the time to go shoot photos!
Thanks for continuing this series.
Patty, that first photo is incredible. Look at the dirt behind the runner’s shoe and under his elbow! You rock the camera, my dear.
Patty, this was so incredibly helpful!! Thanks so much for the step-by-step. It was really a great explanation & I learned so much. Can’t wait to try it! xoxo
i love that effect. so pretty. my favorite was the waterskiing shot.
Great post Patty, and some truly gorgeous examples of bokeh!!
Love all your pics especially the baseball and waterskiing one…however, I’m a girly girl and love sparkles so love the bokeh too. xoxo, Jess
I’ve mainly had
this happen by
accident {bokeh},
so it’s cool to
read the how-tos.
Loved the baseball
shot. I’ve got a
boy who I try to
capture on the diamond,
too!

What a fun challenge! Count me in! (I found you through Cedar’s blog.) How do I find out what next week’s assignment will be?
Come, let’s walk in my neighbor’s garden again. The paths beckon, the critters are busy, and the flowers await. We’ll share quiet messages of peace and hope and love. And we’ll share stories and discover treasures like lily pads and hungry pumpkins and secret hiding places. And when it’s time to go, we’ll carry with...

{This story starts here.} Before I knew what had happened, he scooped me up by my waist and held me high on his hip as the icy cold water stole my breath and curled around my throat, tickling my ears. Keep your feet up! We were not so old in this relationship that trust would...

I am slain. Keep going, sister.
Your knight in shining armor…chivalry isn’t dead.
What comfort and security in knowing this. My husband is the same way.

I’m kinda laughing and crying through this post, Patty! I love it! And now you SERIOUSLY have me hoping you make it down here… I definitely want to see all this in action!
wow!!!! i’m pretty speechless…wow is all i can come up with.
I was gripped from
the start of this post,
as I’ve never done white
water rafting….out of
fear….although I’m also
blessed to have one by
my side who would absolutely
protect me. What freedom
in that knowledge. Loved
this; congrats for your
marriage and may it last
forever.
xx Suzanne

The wind blew and the trees shook and it rained and it poured and we huddled close. And just when we began to wonder if the sun would ever shine again, it did. And things sparkled and glittered and shined. And as the world quieted, truth reflected in light and richness. We are strong and...
