The above picture was taken about an hour ago. My daughter and I were outside checking out the garden. She excitedly pointed at our blackberry bush and said, “Oh mommy, look at the blackberries!” I was happy to see the green blackberries. I cannot wait for them to ripen. I use them in a variety of healthy recipes; Smoothies, ice creams, salads, muffins, and main dishes too.
There are many ways I celebrate life, and one way is taking pictures. I enjoy capturing photos of whatever interests me. Surprisingly, at times, some of the photos interest others too.
I became fascinated with photography as a child, even have a few old cameras. As a child, it seemed I always had a camera in my hand, and was always snapping pictures. In my early twenties I took a break from picture taking, and it was unnatural. I felt naked without one of my cameras and returned to it with a vengeance. Naturally that means I have a digital darkroom at our home, and a few times a week (after my daughter is sleeping) you’ll find me there.
I’m still kicking myself for not snagging an old camera I found when I was visiting Gamla Stan – The Old Town, while I was in Sweden.
A few years ago, I created a website based solely on my photography. Learned a lot, took chances, picked the brain of many photographers I have respect for, and surprisingly enough sold a few pictures too. However, I mainly give them away to family/friends.
I’ve been an active participant with Wordless Wednesday, with many of my other websites and so it only makes sense to add Celebrate Life! into the mix too, right? Outdoor Wednesday is new for myself, and I look forward to meeting the other participants.
Although I take a lot of different types of photos, the majority of the photos you’ll see on this site will be nature or food based.

When I lived in Northern California and there were MANY blackberry bushes everywhere, I never saw any with pink flowers, only white. Nice photo! Can’t wait for smoothie time.
How sweet! Wish I had one of those in my back yard…
@Sara Chapman in Seattle, USA – Thanks for stopping by. The blackberries with white blossoms might be more common. I do see them more often however on our property we have both. 🙂
I love smoothies too.
@Maira Grove – Yes, we’re fortunate to have them. I definitely love them. 🙂
You have done so much lady! What can’t you do 😉 Blackberries are so yummy! I miss having them in our backyard. When I was little we had tons of them growing wild. I loved it.
@kaozz – Thanks, I’m determined not to have any ‘what ifs’ in my life, or as few as possible. The added bonus is it keeps my days full. I don’t stay still for too long.
Oh wild blackberries are the best! 🙂
Oh that’s a very pretty photo of the blackberries, I really want some blackberries right now so I can make some jam. Enjoy your day!
@Kat – Thanks, I can’t wait to we have enough to make jam. Oh by the way love your website, so many gorgeous photos. 🙂
I remember WW – I haven’t participated in a while…I should! I had a hard time keeping it wordless, too! LOL 🙂
Always love your pics!
