Photo Contest of Hope

Childhood is what you spend the rest of your life trying to overcome. Beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but it's the middle that counts the most. Try to remember that when you find yourself at a new beginning. Just give hope a chance to float up. And it will...

~Hope Floats





I told the man who wants to buy it that it represents the winter time in ones life and it represents mine at this moment. But that the Lord is faithful and His path is always the right one. The Lord is there walking with you no matter what bitter cold times your going through... There is hope at the end of this path.. Hope of a better day and hope of eternity with Christ where there is no sorrow..


I did my very first contest on Friday. Granted it was small time, but it gave me a chance to put my work out there and get some feedback from people. I did not win but (I guess they wanted something with kids in the photo or people fishing..?) But I did have tons of people gathering around my path of Hope. People were asking for my business card.. I had a gentleman who wants to buy my work. He lives in Iffley and loves how I capture it :) It made me feel so good to know that I am doing something right :) The Lord works in mysterious ways..

The University of Oxford, Worcester college grounds.












The Eagle and Child.

Justin and I met up with some friends at Eagle and child. From the 1930s to the 1960s the Inklings (including C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien) met in the “Rabbit Room” at the back of this pub.
We had a good fellowship with our friends and hope to make a habit of meeting out a lot more!!

Hogwarts from Harry Potter AKA Christ Church at Oxford.

Tonight I had art class at Christ Church. It was creepy and cool at the same time walking down the halls of a school that was built back in the 1500's. I am going to go back when it is light out and take some photos of the beautiful courtyard.
