Can you smell them?

For you fellow photo geeks, I shot this on manual at ISO 400, f/1.8 at 1/40.
I’ve been using the following gear today:

• Nikon D700
• Nikkor 50 1.4 lens
• SB-800 Speedlight
• SP Systems Barn Doors Set
  (note: I only paid $10 for these and it’s been so fun to use. I can’t wait to do portraits with it! Here’s a pic from B&H of them).

You know what? I like my husband, too. I love being around him. He’s my friend. Mark is a teacher and just finished summer school (Yippee!). That means he’s home until August. Everyday. And that makes me happy.

Not everyone is so fortunate. My mom struggled with my dad being home. Over the years of their marriage they had grown apart. For much of their married years, he worked out of state and came home occasionally. When he retired, he was home all the time. My mom had a separate life. My dad had expectations of her and didn’t know her. He didn’t (or perhaps couldn’t) see and appreciate her for who she was.

My life is so different. When Mark is home, he doesn’t seem to have high expectations of me. We just are home together. He sometimes works on projects. I work on projects. We work on projects together. At other times, one of us is “goofing off” or napping, while the other is taking care of the home or kids. 

I’m so thankful for his acceptance of me for who I am. He gives me grace, freedom and champions me. I’m grateful.

Here’s my man. I like him

The song for Nolan’s video is The Sound Of Sunshine . I don’t normally use non royalty free music but this one just fits. Here’s Michael Franti’s video:

I love a good story! Life is so full of them since every life is a story itself.

“Unafraid” got me thinking about love…

Questions come to mind:

• Will I ever not be afraid? Will I ever let myself trust so much as to let go of fear?

• Will I ever love others that well? I want to.

Here’s Amy singing “Unafraid”:

The lyrics:

UNAFRAID
(Amy Grant/Wayne Kirkpatrick)

Woke up this morning
with you in our bed
going over and over
everything you said
Who talk you how to speak
the words that you say
I’ve always wanted to
be talked to that way
Love has made
has made you unafraid

Watching my children
finding their way
thru struggles and triumphs
and heartbreak
I hope the roads they take
Are making them strong
I’ll still be on my knees
Long after they’re gone
Love has made
Love has made
Love has made
Has made me unafraid

My lovely mother
Is getting on in years
And the way her body’s aging
brings her girls to tears
The way she trembles with
each effort she makes
She just says Heaven’s
getting closer each day
Love has made
Love has made
Love has made
Has made her unafraid

Love could make
Love can make
Love will make
Make you unafraid.
