Oh the things I could tell her about motherhood. Truth is, the lessons we learn are as important as those we teach. {Thank you, LaSha, Roger & baby Easton. It was my great joy to spend this time with you.} *** Sweet Shot Tuesdays Communal Global * There are 1440 minutes in every day… 1440...
There’s nothing quite as beautiful as an expecting mom.
She’s positively glowing!
Oh pretty mama! Gorgeous shots! Love them, and her EYES!!!!
She has such pretty blue eyes! Lovely portraits for the expecting parents.
WOW!!!! Great work Patty!!! Thanks for stopping by and telling me to come take a look. You are doing great and I can clearly see you are using some of the things I taught you during our session. SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!
Keep up fabulous work~
xoxoxo,

i love new moms. it’s all so scary and new and they really don’t have a clue what to expect. it’s just one of those things you have to experience yourself…that you have to walk through on your own. beautiful work patty!
These really capture their joy, Patty. Beautiful work!
So this was a sort of pilgrimage for you, then? Her words stuck with me for days. I suppose it had been, but not so much as a pilgrimage back as it had been a pilgrimage away. I had come to France twenty-five years earlier, as a student. I’m not quite sure now what had...

very beautiful pics! 
I’m in awe of the beauty you find with your camera! Your images are just gorgeous and your words are always inspiring. Sound to me like you’ve lived a perfectly adventurous life so far and I’m sure there’s lots more to come!
What beautiful photos! Want to visit here again, enjoyed it!
You took me away with the words and photos in this post. Gorgeous.
Wow! Absolutely wonderful post and fantastic posts ~~ thanks, ^_^ (A Creative Harbor)
ps ~ I just wrote a similar journey in my private journal ~ it is like our minds were on the same path ~ thanks, ^_^
what a perfect post for pearls for girls. dreams are so important and yet it is also ok to change the parameters of those dreams. i loved the pics and brought back some wonderful memories.
Oh my goodness, that brought tears to my eyes! Wonderful story & I love how you told it… the pictures are amazing =)
i love this. What else can I say? Just, LOVED it.
I so love the words you wrote in combination with your beautiful photos. It tugged at my memory banks!!
This was so amazingly written! I think the second picture of the cobble stones is my favorite!
Your words and pictures brought back some of my own adventure memories! Thank you. And welcome back!
It’s such an incredibly beautiful place!
Such beauty in your words and photos! I have just discovered your blog and ‘Life of adventure’ write up certainly took my breath away. You write beautifully and I will certainly be visiting more:’)
Beautiful photos, and what a wonderful post this is.
Beautiful words, your story and photos!
The only thing I have ever wanted to be is a traveler, and I wish I had lots more money! Your photos are so lovely and well-done
Sounds like an awesome journey!

Beautiful post about life and the roads we choose to take — gorgeous photography Patricia.
Thank you for sharing at Rural Thursdays this week. xo
Your words and photos are amazing. The adventures you have lived and those which yet lie ahead are a rich tapestry indeed.
So I started this link-up as a way of sharing what I’m learning as I dove into a year-long self-study in photography. I promised myself that even if NO ONE linked, I would continue. That’s commitment. {I’m pretty good at that!} Still, as I continue the link-up, I’ve been a little pitiful with the self-study...

I’m back! Thanks Patty!
I want to link up, but I don’t like any of the pics I’m getting. Maybe when it clears up tomorrow I can get something better.
Patty~I always love all of your photos. You have such talent and capture the most amazing shots.

those were so good. too busy to practice…but one of these days i’m going to figure it all out. i just know it:)
where’s your face?
I always love your pictures, and now I know for a fact that you have cute toes.
For me, it’s always crazy, always chaos, always movement. My children are young and involved; my husband is dedicated and driven. I am committed. So when something makes me stop, put down the balls I juggle, and breathe… and focus… and recognize beauty of all kinds… I am grateful. I am grateful for awkward, segmented...

These are all incredibly beautiful, Patty – each little detail. Your eyes are amazing, thanks for keeping them open and sharing wth the rest of us.
My son (who is two) just came in from mowing the lawn (With his daddy). He loves this post. You have a winner.
This reminds me that our children still now how to see the little things.
…and she tames dragonflies, too! SO cool, Patty. Can’t believe she stood still for you. I like photography for the same reason and I am grateful for others who “get it” (and get us)!
you are so gifted. these photos are phenomenal.
Wow – you are amazing capturing so many beautiful shots!
Cathy‘s is on the left; mine is on the right. {Like my new boots??} ***** So this time, aside from the likeness in colors {her brown roof, my brown boots; the blue tarp and shirt, the blue sky}, I noticed the visual triangle created by the blue tarp, the blue shirt and the blue sky....

i see the triangles!!! love the two together…love the new boots…so sexy! xo
Ha! I love your new boots! I use the rule of thirds pretty much obsessively. I hadn’t heard of the rule of 3′s though…I also like to play with color complements (red/green, blue/orange, purple/yellow) to really make colors pop. I did that with this week’s You Capture challenge (http://jadekeller.com/2010/05/you-capture-depth-of-field/) in the shots of the roses and I often use it in my food photography.
Talkin like a real photographer when you use things like the rule of thirds. Thanks for the tip.
I’m all about the rule of 3rds.
I really like that image.
And wow, lady, check out those legs! Nice!
You’re so smart! {I mean, isn’t it grand that we pulled of the thirds thing?!} Serendipity!
Great boots and you’ve got great legs, too!
I’m a mess when I shoot! I sometimes try to follow the rule of thirds, but only sometimes.
