Christmas in Virginia, with all the colors and light and cool and snow that I love. It was so worth the trip with the newborn.

Thirty-Nine - Catch

Thirty-Five - Softly to the Shore

The sun was setting on the beach when I shot this, throwing rose-gold everywhere. I had to bring it home with me. Every time I find colors this vibrant in the light, I wonder how much more incredible His glory will be - described in the Bible in colors and words that can no more convey the image of it than any camera or imagination can truly capture light. But here's a small attempt on my part to remember.

Thirty-One - Spray Bright Evening Into Dark

Pete took me to the river tonight at sunset. Ten rushed minutes of cold shooting to catch one lovely moment with warm eternity. I love what I do.

Check out my One Word Project photo for today. And I have to share one very excited update: this shot made it onto the Shutter Sisters One Word site today!
