Almost exactly a year ago I embarked on a new adventure. Still reeling from the loss of The Red One, I needed something to jump start the passion that has always lived inside me. I needed to reconnect myself with the beauty of the moment. Somehow I had to find a way to put aside the "whys" and "what ifs" of unrealized dreams and plans. So...I purchased my first SLR camera and started a new journey.



This camera along along with other things has helped rekindle the passion that lie dormant inside my broken heart. I have learned to once again love and appreciate the little things in a day. My life that was once so beautiful and perfect I like to call Chapter 1. And now I find myself in Chapter 2, and it is also beautiful and I will find a way to make it perfect in a completely different way. Life for me... is right here, right now! Once again I am able to find and treasure those priceless moments and share them with those around me in this little blogging Universe.

For my birthday, I was tickled to receive a new Nikon 50mm 1.4 lens... feeding my new hobby is expensive. But the new lens is fabulous! Izzy is tired of posing at this point...but click on the pooch's pic for a larger view and check out the detail of those eyelashes!
