{bliss}...

*thank you* karrina for sharing and bringing a touch of spring to this prairie girl's snowy weekend!

tools of the trade...

spring is such a busy time here...

while trying to get the land ready to be sowed and nurtured...

we are also busy getting ready to bring the cows in off the range...

which means fixing fence...

lots and lots of fence...

{don't want our girls to bloat by getting into those luscious alfalfa fields...} :0)

husband.s tools of the trade...

fencing pliers and barbwire...

little one.s tool of the trade...

mud...

lots and lots of mud..

oh and my tools of the trade...

florabella.s b/w mink, kim klassen.s memorable texture and sigma 17-70mm macro lens...

don't know what the husband would do without me and my tools... ;0)

Bleed Red...

the rest of the month on the inspiration studio, we are focusing on color...

i will be sharing some photos on friday and would *love* to have you join us by sharing your color photos in our flickr pool...

while pondering on what i will be sharing, what color, or vintage find i can use to style my photos...

this song came on the radio...

i wanted to share this message...

i couldn't have expected anything less from this artist...

to me that is the most powerful {color} we can ever find and realize...

the color of our souls...

the color that binds us all together in this journey of life...
