Camera Critters: A Favorite Photo

Below is one of my most favorite photo's of Shelby.

I love this girl with all my heart!

I Am Caring

You are compassionate every time of year, but spring reminds you how fragile we all are. You believe everything and everyone could use a little more nurturing... and that even goes for you as well. You lead with your heart, and you always try to do what's right. You're quick to forgive and to give others the benefit of the doubt. You may feel emotional pain more than most people, but you remain optimistic. There's too much good in the world to turn away from hope.

Each day your whole life through!

I Am An Espresso Drink

You Are an Espresso Drink

You love coffee, but it's likely not an everyday thing for you. You see coffee more as a treat. You love to indulge in a latte, cappuccino, or even an espresso from time to time. You enjoy a coffee break. You are both reflective and friendly. You love to have a long chat with a good friend. Your energy tends to be steady and consistent. You take life as it comes and try to keep everything on an even keel.

What's Your Coffee Style?
