Plant Seeds, Pull Weeds and Grow a Happy Life

-

Our Easter day began early! Lola had sprinted out of bed at 6:30 a.m. exclaiming that the Easter bunny had arrived. After opening her basket and getting ready in her beautiful Easter dress, we joined the neighbors for a fun Egg Hunt. We had hid over 300 eggs! The yards were filled with bright colors and lots of laughter. 

After the fun had faded, I went into the garden getting the flower beds ready for the blooming days ahead. With messy hands and a full heart, I noticed all the small plants sprouting their green. Saying my prayers tonight I thank the Lord for the gift of each new breath of life and the celebration of Jesus' death because today, he has risen!

We are still in quarantine so it's the little moments outside that we are enjoying the most.

I have been photographing "full time" for a year and a half and have learned many tips and tricks. I wanted to share some of these with you. I photograph everything in manual mode. I personally try to keep my ISO always at 100. Today I had to put my ISO settings at 400 because of the overcast. For my fellow photographers, who also shoot in manual, these are my settings for today's photoshoot; 1/50 f2.8 400 I have recently started mentoring a photography enthusiast and I realized I have so much knowledge! Soon I will share this knowledge with you. In the mean time, here's my morning cup of Joe.
