Blogging Anniversary, Texture Tuesday and some Ballerina Stories...

Today marks my blogging anniversary since it's my second year blogging as a DSLR owner. And without a question I'll take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you who's joined me here on my journey. Thanks for being here!

I'm also very exited that I'll be releasing my third little texture collection very soon.
It's called 'Ballerina Stories'  I'm giving you a preview on one the textures in my collection along playing with my favorite texture from Kim Klassen.

Here is my little piece of textured art for today

Memories, Dreams & Reflections 2013

It's that time of year again. Another annual tradition that I love 
I'm happy to join Ashley & other lovely blogger in sharing Memories, Dreams & Reflections 2013.


1. Me - This is me. I don't often do selfies and this is one the very rare. 

2. I love you 

3. Still laughing - this little gal cracks me up. Her big personality enlightens my life and makes me laugh everyday.

4. Winter Wonderland - My pink frosty afternoon from January 2013. This winter we're still waiting for our snow...

5. Birthday - Birthdays in our house are seriously celebrated and our cat Princess Ella is no exception. I captured her in November 2013 when turning eight years 


6. Friends. Best friends 

7. I was inspired - Once again I was inspired by flowers. As this little wild rose 

8. Spring Fever - May ♥ and cherry flowers.

9. Travel/Vacation -  We spent our summer vacation in July at the Pärnu Beach in Estonia. Gosh did I love it!

10. Summer Days

11. A day in my life - The best everyday sight. 

12. All Smiles - I was all smiles when I discovered this sight on Father's Day morning. 

13. Autumn Harvest - My favorite autumn capture this year...

14. Family - I wanted to have the whole family in a shot. Not the ideal outcome... The children were cracking up and making faces and my hubby wasn't concentrating at all. But I loved the result anyway.

15. Celebration - Christmas this year. White, simple & quiet.

16. Let's do it again! - I wish we could do it again. Run free at the seashore of an empty beach. Bliss.

17. I miss you - Summer! Right now I miss summer. The light & colors. Flowers & birds. Long days and sunshine...

18. Beautiful!

19. Dress up - or not? That is to say she actually wears a crown 24/7. My little princess 

20. Macro - My favorite macro of the year. Always wanted to capture dandelion seeds and this time I really did.

21. Holidays - This is my little Christmas themed still life 

22. My favorite - My all time favorite. 

23. Don't ever change - The spontaneity, enthusiasm, the ability to enjoy the moment...I wish I could be a child again!

24. Just because - out of every category. But SO precious.

25. Hopes and dreams - Fragile yet so strong at the same time. I hope this year will grow to be as gorgeous as 2013 was.


Thank you so much following along! I wish you the Happiest New Year 2014!
