Roses & Raindrops {WW #37}

Filed Under: Uncategorized Tagged With: Wordless Wednesday

This weekend I spent some time at my parents while Kenny did a bunch of working. On Saturday I noted that the roses were pretty and wanted to take photos of them. I was in a rush, so I said to myself I will take them Sunday. Well the next day it was rainy and wet. I almost let that stop me, but you have to remember I am a photography addict. People driving by probably thought I was crazy out there with an umbrella and my camera. Sadly I didn’t have my Macro Lens with me, but I did get some shots with my 35mm. I do love roses and raindrops.

    Love the roses, beautiful photos. If you makes you feel any better, you are not the only one who ends up with the umbrella in the rain taking photographs. We did it over spring break when the tulip displays were so beautiful. We too thought about coming back the next day, but knew we had other plans, so out came the umbrellas. I have some unique photos from that day, its' so easy to forget that all conditions make for great photographs, not just clear skies.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow.

Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
