Photo Friday: Nature Up Close

I started Photo Friday with the intention of posting every Friday...but we all know how that has turned out! I've decided to change 'Photo Friday' to 'Whenever I have photos to post-Photo Friday'. This will take some of the pressure (from myself!) off of my shoulders and it will ensure that only quality photos will be posted for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to my husband Erik, and my in-laws Leslye and Don I have an awesome new camera to keep me going!

On a weekend trip to Portland to visit family, our pup Austin and I (along with the new camera!) did a little exploring in the backyard...

Happy New Year!

Whether you spent it out on the town or curled up at home, New Year's Eve is a time we reflect on where we've been while making plans to move forward. It's a time we celebrate the end and new beginning...everyone gets a fresh start!

I wish you and yours a wonderful, happy, healthy, successful New Year full of hope, laughter, and love!

Here are a few photos from our cozy night in!
