I LOVE white winters. Luckily the sparkly powder has been plentiful this year.

Nothing beats waking up to a world of white.

The excitement on little faces as they discover softly falling snow  is enough to make me feel like a child again!

A late summer session with my beautiful sister Alisia. love her!

She is normally all smiles, but this time I asked for a quieter look. (next time I will let her be her giggly self! : )

It feels so good to be editing again!

Where have I been?

Between computer woes and a large art project, I haven’t been able to sit at my computer for  awhile now.

Hoping to share more with you soon!

2010

A happy welcome & hello to 2010!

If there is one photo that speaks to me more than the others that I have taken this year, it is this one.

(lucky for me, it was unposed)

It has a down & out feeling that reminds me of economic hard times.

Something we hear about on the news on a daily basis.. something that touches us deeply.

It’s been a particularly challenging year for several reasons, but my hope is that these experiences

are making me stronger, more resilient, a better & more caring human being.

I hold onto hope ..  and look forward to a fresh new year!

lazy afternoon

another favorite..

I bought some vintage newspaper comics off ebay with the idea of taking this picture.

I was looking for an old airstream, but we happened upon this great old house with a red door instead.

It reminds me of a favorite memory… curling up everyday after school with my funnies and a bowl of ice cream!

I grew up without a TV so my memories include newspaper comics over cartoons.

Poor santa had a tough choice, but was ultimately wooed over by the tasty treats left out for him to enjoy.

Christmas was saved and it was wonderful… holly, jolly & wintery white!

Have a great weekend everyone!

{Christmas Eve}

copyright mandy lynne 1

On a winter night
When the moon is low
The rabbits hop on the frozen snow,
The woodpecker sleeps in his hole in the tree
And fast asleep is the chickadee
Twelve o’clock
and the world is still
As the Christmas star comes over the hill
The angels sing, and sing again:
“Peace on earth, goodwill to men.”
