Kindred spirits living 4,166.94 miles apart. Each spending their days in the simplicity of life. Wives and mothers in love with their family. Each with a passion for photography. Not just any photography but life photography. They do not work with fancy backdrops and artificial posing. They simply capture their day as it unfolds. Natural lighting, beautiful messy faces of a child, dirty counters, amazing sunsets, smudged windows and life adventures. Family and friendship. Here you will have the opportunity to peek into the lives of these two seelenschwesters. Enjoy~

My Faith~
He fills my spirit, my soul, my being.

The simple faith filled charms that remind me to persevere on this path he has called me upon.  It navigates through twist and the turns. May I be strong enough to look ahead and preservers even when I do not understand.

I know dear friend you must identify and understand this area of my heart.  Simplicity is far too important for you to not. One of the many reasons I love you so!

Thankfulness, day four

My Sunshine gal running in the sunflowers laughing, dancing, jumping and hiding. Oh happy day, I am thankful for you.

Day Two of Thankfulness

I sure have missed doing this daily, I will be honest, I need this to make me more disciplined.  It makes me pick up my camera more, see more in more things, and to look at simple things from several different angles, which is something that should be done in all areas of life I think.  This morning was a typical fall morning here in Der Vaterland, cold, damp, foggy, grey... ( but when the sun broke through the fog through the fall trees later in the morning it was breathtaking!  WHY did I ignore my gut to grab the camera before I left, WHYYYYYY?! )  When taking the kids to the car I noticed my favorite thing about these dark dreary mornings, the spiderwebs! They are just breathtaking.  When you drive past fields and all you can see are the perfectly dew kissed webs blowing in the stalks and stems and branches, I just love it.  I am not afraid of spiders, just not one to grab one to hold, that being said, I think they are amazing and I could watch them all day.  The way they can make something so amazing, strong, and thin at the same time... well, I could learn a little something from those little creatures.

A Month of Thanks


Is there anything to be more thankful for than God's promises to us?

There is so much about this time of year I just adore.  I love all the seasons and what they each offer, and I used to think I liked spring more than fall, given it was a close race, but I am now sure that fall is my favorite.  Yes, it is Mother Nature welcoming in the winters cold and harsh days, but it is also the season that is everything comforting.  The amazing colors, the way that everything from the farmers to the woodland animals are rushing to prepare for the blasts of winter.  The smell of crisp cold air and the way that all the warmth of the season of smoke from chimneys, warm drinks, the rush of feeling home when you walk inside and smell the hearty food of winter, it can cut through the dark cold. The anticipation of family being together though is what sealed it for me and made it my favorite time of year.  
So this month, my dear friend and I, we give thanks.  If you are anything like me, which lets face it, I think you are, I am overwhelmed everyday in thanks.  I catch my self being thankful far more than not, and I am grateful for that attribute in myself.  Let see if we can capture a picture a day for one of the many things that make us stop and say, "God is just so, SO good!".
