Lovely Old Summer Days

The weather is dreary and cold.
I am sitting by the fireplace dreaming of the days of old.
(I'm a Poet, and didn't know it!)

As I sit, memories of Summer drift back to me.

 Dew drops, glistening in the sun...

 Butterflies, bees and dragon flies...

 Lovely sun-rays and sunsets...

All my recent photos are to grey to edit today.
I will count this as a New Year's post and this is the Recap of 2014.
      Pretty lousy recap... Oh well.

Love,
Hagen

Christmas// Lights

I love the way they twinkle.

 The way they glow

 How they set the tree aglow in a merry splendor.

 The way they blur into little, luminous globes.

 

How they reflect their beacon of radiance.

Merry (belated) Christmas.
With Love,
Hagen

*Independence Day*

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July! Mine was great!
We went to the creek, roasted hotdogs and marshmallows, shoved our face with watermelon and all of that, but the best part was the fireworks. (Of course!)

 I was so happy with how all the pictures came out. I had done some studying on it, (and by studying, of course, I mean hopped on Pinterest and took a look at what other people do...) so the "studying" really paid off...

 Roman candle and sparkler.

 Roman candle.

Moms sparkler looks like an eye!

It was so much fun! Everyone just couldn't wait 'till it was their turn...

Anyways, it was just really great. I have always loved the 4th of July, but I love it even more now I know I how to capture it!
How was your Fourth?
Love,
Hagen

Snow...

Is it here? Is Winter really here? I believe so! The ground is white, millions and millions of little snowflakes cover it. They stick to my eyelashes and crunch beneath my feet. Balls of snow fly through the air and the snowmen stand resplendent in the yard.

There is not much else to say. The snow is to beautiful for words....

Love,
Hagen
