Inspiration and a cup of joe..
As an photog wanna-be I'm constantly looking for inspiration. Just tonight when I was sitting down to a dinner of angel hair pasta with a lovely red sauce and fresh picked (i just reached down and plucked it out of the pot) basil, I found inspiration. I had this urge to run and get the camera, it was so pretty sitting on my plate in the sun..
but I was hungry and the pasta tasted so good..so..I kept eating.
BUT..my question today dear reader is what is YOUR inspiration?? What is your "pasta in the sun" moment?? Here are a few more of mine.
-Food
-My kiddos
-Washington landscape
-Junking, thrifting and crafting
-Water
-Flowers
-Coffee
-GF's
-Human emotion..raw
-Architecture
-The Anthropologie catalog (gets me every time)
-And soon to be added..Paris
These are some of the things that make me want to snap, snap, snap away:)
**EDIT** I'm not just talking about inspiration for taking photos..I'm talking about ALL sorts of inspiration**
Now.. here is what you need to do, share with us at least one (or as many as you would like) items of inspiration and you will be entered in a sweet give-away. If I draw your name on Friday (AFTERNOON) you will win a....
Thats right fine blog reader..a 5 DOLLAR STARBUCKS GIFT CARD!! Can you believe my generosity??? Seriously I'm so frickin awesome:) (yes this give-away will be delievered in a timely manner, no more large postage items for moi!)
Oh and if you want to enter another fricken awesome (really its much better than mine) give-away head on over to my new bloggy gf's blog, and let her know Tres Birds sent ya:)

My other inspirations are much like yours kids, coffee, looking for lost treasures aka junking, driving with the windows down on a gorgeous day like today!
Have you checked out the islands yet? The ferry is a great kid adventure and the islands are beautiful. Friday Harbor is a great day trip. Orcas is my favorite for camping.
I have a question for you, do you know if a good farm share program in the area. I am looking without much luck. Thanks!

I would say for me, it simply comes down to God and people I love. Those two drive everything else I live for and everything I choose to do!!!
