When I saw this cherry-red ladybug nestled on a cool, blue hydrangea flower, the contrast immediately caught my eye! I don't have a macro lens, so used my Canon 28-135mm lens and zoomed in as close as I could. This is one of my favorite shots!
About Me
- Andrea
- I'm Andrea. I'm a wife, mother, full-time computer software developer who seems to never have enough time to do everything I want to do. I married my high school sweetheart, who also happens to be my best friend. I love photography and am a total "mommarazzi" to my son Dillon. I grew up in the South, so I have always been loved, and also love others, with food. So my idea of a good time, is getting together with family and friends, eating some great food, and documenting the whole thing with my camera. So, "food, family, and photos" pretty much sums it up!

How could you not love this face?
It's pet faces time at I Heart Faces! When I heard this, I knew immediately what photo to choose. I mean, how can you not love this face?
Murphy has been such a blessing in our lives for many years now! For anyone new to my blog, Murphy is our almost 8 year old Australian Cattle Dog mix. He and 2 of his siblings were found as puppies alongside a road in our county after they had apparently been thrown out of a car. We adopted him from a local pet rescue organization in January 2005. He is such a huge part of our life and family. He watches TV with us on the couch and sleeps in our bed. He's a big mooch and NEVER misses mealtime. He has brought us so much joy! If you're looking for a pet, be sure to check out your local shelter or rescue organization. There are so many wonderful animals out there that need homes!

Pet Week at I Heart Faces!
I've always had "mutts" for pets and our dog Murphy is no exception. He's a mix of Australian Cattle Dog and something else, we're not sure what, but the combination made for a beautiful dog who is a perfect addition to our family.
If you are considering adding a pet to your family, please don't forget to consider adopting from a local shelter or pet rescue organization. We adopted Murphy in 2005 and he has been a joyful part of our family ever since!

MCP Actions Blog - Project 52, Week 26 and an LTS link-up!
"Cinnamon"
Week 26 - MCP 52 Week Project Theme: Hidden Object
I fell in love with the Cinnamon Crepe Myrtle trees when my husband and I honeymooned in Charleston, SC. Recently we planted a few of our own. I love how the drab gray outer bark hides the warm, cinnamon colored trunk underneath.
I'm also using this for the "Beautiful Bokeh" link-up at Love that Shot!

It's pet week at I Heart Faces, so I just had to enter a picture of Murphy!

Love that Shot Link-up! "All in the Details"
So I LOVE MCP actions! I have all their freebies and am saving my pennies to buy the new fusion set (or really any set, there is nothing on that site that I wouldn't like to have!). Love that Shot is doing a link-up with the theme of "All in the Details" and the prize is a gift certificate to MCP or the new Fusion set, so I definitely wanted to enter!
This is a necklace that my mom bought for me on her last cruise. It made from pearls and some sort of black coral (I think?) and it is so pretty. I processed it using the Vanity action from Florabella's Luxe II set. I thought the details of the necklace were really cool and I love the contrast of the colors and the background.

Love that Shot Link-up!
I wanted to post my photo of Murphy again for my entry for the Love That Shot link-up (hope you're not tired of the photo yet, I know I'm not!) This photo collage is my interpretation of the theme of "Love" because Murphy gives us such unbelievable, unconditional love. No matter what, he always greats us at the door when we get home with a wagging tail and a doggy grin. Seeing his furry face always warms my heart and brightens my day!

I Heart Faces - Winter Wonderland
Two posts in one day?? What's going on here? Ok, so saw that I Heart Faces is running a photo contest with the theme "Winter Wonderland" so I wanted to submit a photo for that.
We had 6" of snow last weekend here in SC and we had a great time playing in it with our neighbors. Here's one of my favorite photos from our outdoor adventures!
