photos + video ... lilacs in bloom

Oh, beautiful lilacs... my favorite flower ever!!!

I am so excited that I even took a video of the lilacs!!! 

The sun made magical light and birds were singing... yay!

Resurrection Sunday!

Before the throne of God above

I have a strong and perfect plea

A great High Priest whose name is love

Whoever lives and pleads for me

My name is graven on His hands

My name is written on His heart

I know that while in heaven He stands

No tongue can bid me thence depart

No tongue can bid me thence depart

When Satan tempts me to despair

And tells me of the guilt within

Upward I look and see Him there

Who made an end of all my sin

Because the sinless Savior died

My sinful soul is counted free

For God the Just is satisfied

To look on Him and pardon me

To look on Him and pardon me

Behold Him there, the risen Lamb

My perfect, spotless Righteousness

The great unchangeable I AM

The King of glory and of grace

One with Himself, I cannot die

My soul is purchased by His blood

My life is hid with Christ on high

With Christ my Savior and my God

With Christ my Savior and my God

And here is something special I put together for Ren for Easter! 

I bought bunny ears from the Target dollar section, but they needed something more... 

So I added one of my own knit bows, for a touch of something pink and girly! 

I thought they turned out perfect!!!

And here is the cutest little bunny (with fairy wings and a very silly face!!)

photography ... orange ranunculus

I was so happy to see these bright orange ranunculus at the grocery store the other day.
I bought them in a heartbeat! This is the first time I've bought ranunculus... they are
such a pretty flower! Nothing says spring-time like fresh, bright flowers in the house!

lensbaby photography ... early spring

It is always fun to get outside and shoot photos, especially when it's almost spring and little bits
of life are starting to show up. The other day, my sister and I went for a walk downtown in search
of early blooms. I have been wanting to shoot with my lensbaby lately, so this was a perfect time. 

The weather was lovely and I saw lots of pretty things... 

Spring is coming!

photography | exploring red rocks

A few weeks ago, my mom, sister and I took a trip to see Needtobreathe and Switchfoot 

at Red Rocks Amphitheater (in Morrison, Colorado).

((I posted about that here...)) 

Because we stayed the night after the concert, we decided to spend the next day exploring 

more around Red Rocks. We had a lot of fun and I would definitely recommend seeing a 

concert at Red Rocks or just hiking around, if you ever have the opportunity. It is free to go 

into the park and in the amphitheater (before an event, of course). Warning: It takes climbing 

steep ramps and A LOT of steps to reach the top of the amphitheater BUT it is so worth it 

to see the most stunning views everywhere you look!!

(Denver Cityscape in the distance)

(This was only the beginning of the steps.... Whew!)

(Huge red rocks surround both side of the stage... Such an amazing venue!!)

(I had to take a photo of this photo in the museum, because I thought it was so cool!
The caption explains a bit of the history of Red Rocks!)

(A lot of people come here to get a work out... It's a good place for that!)

(It is amazing to be in the midst of such huge rocks all around... God's creation is so awesome!)

(We spotted a fox.)

Such beauty everywhere... This is why I love where I live and why I took so many photos!

Thank you God for this amazing gift.
