Dusty Camera

I never would have thought my camera would get so dusty! Okay, okay, it's in a case, but still, it's just sitting on my dresser, not moving, not snapping any photos...
I have pretty much survived my first week of my very first job! I am a VERY shy kind of girl so I've gone from being completely sheltered at home, to getting a job and making myself be outgoing. It was pretty difficult at first because my voice just automatically turns down in volume whenever I'm talking to strangers. But I've been praying and asking God to give me the strength to make it through the day and force myself to raise my voice a little higher so people can actually hear me, ha ha.
God has been very gracious and I am so very thankful for all He has done for me this short week. A couple of days ago, I wouldn't have said this but... I really enjoy my job.

Hopefully be back with pictures as soon as I take some or whenever I have time to take them. Take care friends!

A Walk in the Woods



the snow was melting and huge gusts of wind blew the ramaing dead leaves off of the trees, here's the imprint of a leaf (which was gone when i got this shot) in the ice. notice the neat colours of the rocks?





and the squirrels picked apart dozens of pine cones, leaving several piles of pine cone pedals on fallen, old tree trunks. so cute!





then i came in, warmed up by the fire, and watched my two dogs (Chex isn't in this post, just Rilla this time) watch our two parakeets. look at the determined look in her eye, haha!



Just when we thought Spring was making an early appearance, BAM! We got hit with 4 more inches of snow. Well, everything is melting and very wet... again. Then again, it's only March.
