I find faces fascinating. When I look at photos of faces, heads, and facial features, I wonder what thoughts ran through the person or pet at that moment the photo was captured. While I admire portrait photographers, being able to capture a great headshot is foreign to me. I've yet to master the selfies or facies… Continue reading Care to get nosey?
Our Teahouse – my favorite place
Okay, I get it, I've been complaining a lot about my lot in life being a staycationer this year. The truth of the matter is, being home in our backyard's Teahouse is my favorite place to be.
