one of my favorite blogging friends, suffered and survived a heart attack last week.

there is no doubt,

that he and his family are happy and relieved,

that he has been given a second chance at life...........

this has brought back scary memories for me,

of my own husband's quadruple bi-pass,

of five years ago this month.......and his (our) own second chance.

mm

keep your heart healthy

and

always full of

love.

snow-hearts...

once again,

tennessee was gifted a peaceful blanket of twinkly snow crystals.

i had fun using my heart lens cover to turn the twinkles into hearts....

and then i had even more fun layering those SNOW-HEARTS ("sn-hearts", if you will) onto some of my other images......

enjoy.

happy pink and blue

SN-HEARTS

weekend to you!!

mmm

mmmm

all pink photos taken at Scarlett Scales Shop in downtown Franklin.

i heart bokeh...

i have been dying to learn how to make these adorable bokeh hearts....

"bokeh" is the blurry unfocused lights in a photo.
i have been seeing these HEART's around lately and discovered it's not hard to do.

here is a SOOC (straight out of camera) shot of a bird cage and twinkle lights, in my sun room.

here is the same shot,

with a special heart lens hood that i made for my camera

and the photo purposely unfocused.

put something cute in the foreground

and

ta da!

sweet little heart lights floating around in the background!

this is really fun, and easier than i thought.

i can't wait to play around with this some more.

just in time for valentines day.

to learn how to make these bokeh hearts, visit here.

mmm

mmmm

we are having round four of winter here in tennessee...

or is it round five? i am loosing count.

more snow expected again tomorrow!

and so it goes..........
