I'm aware that discussions of politics or religion should be avoided in blog forums as you risk alienating your readers. However, I think you readers will agree with me on what I have to say… I am tired of the games that BOTH the liberal and conservative media outlets play.

I've reposted a few of my Halloween themed cards. Now that we're approaching the holiday season, it's a good time to plan ahead. Time to place your Halloween orders.

I am truly baffled by comments left by people on mainstream websites such as MSNBC, FOX, Yahoo News, etc. Comments that are filled with hatred. Comments that ridicule one another.

Right? Right! Well to start...everything’s fine. No catastrophes. Not going to make excuses. Simply put...I just haven’t felt like blogging.

When it comes to photography, anything goes. It depends on my mood, the amount of time that I have and if I can transform the idea that is in my head into reality.

Something big is about to happen. Soon too. And for the better. Ever feel that way? Ever get the feeling that you're meant for something other than what you're doing? Something better? With a purpose? I've been talking about change on here lately. I dunno. Maybe it's the Gemini in me. Maybe it's the month of January makes me feel that way. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/imagesbyashleigh/~3/qYB0w4Mv5cw/change-is-coming.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ashleigh)2<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/imagesbyashleigh/~4/qYB0w4Mv5cw" height="1" width="1"/>http://imagesbyashleigh.blogspot.com/2010/01/change-is-coming.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460291596353880524.post-9041605241724892254Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:49:00 +00002010-01-22T08:50:19.650-05:00Made the heart with my own two hands and my sister Ali's supervision.

This is the last of my photos from my trip to North Carolina. Hope that you enjoyed seeing them as much as I enjoyed taking them. Now my goal is to live up to the promise that I made to myself. I plan to venture out on road trips (day trips) and absorb all that Florida (and life) has to offer. I intend to mix things up in what I photograph. Urban shots in Orlando?

That means that the people that read this blog but don't ever leave a comment (lurkers) need to 'delurk' themselves. In other words, say hi. Let me know you're out there. I won't bite.

To want a do over. A fresh start. What lies ahead? No one knows. I’ve given up on trying to plan out my future. I‘m always wrong and my crystal ball never worked right anyway. This year. This time. I’m going to take different approach to life. I’m going to live like there is no tomorrow. Worry less.

Especially ones  that I don't see back at home because powerlines, phoneslines and tall buildings get in my way. Tall people also get in my way but that's the story of my life being on 4'11. Anyway. Florida has plenty of farms, trails and wooded areas but mountains? Not so much.http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/imagesbyashleigh/~3/dcm-wEgLr1M/north-carolina-state-of-mind.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ashleigh)1<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/imagesbyashleigh/~4/dcm-wEgLr1M" height="1" width="1"/>http://imagesbyashleigh.blogspot.com/2010/01/north-carolina-state-of-mind.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460291596353880524.post-5972783987274208202Fri, 08 Jan 2010 14:10:00 +00002010-01-08T09:27:31.048-05:00Been such a long week of getting back into the swing of things and catching up.

Funny to see these guys laying there all lined up. Amazed that all three were looking in my direction. At the same time. I can't even do that with humans. :) EAT MOR CHIKIN!

I love bokeh. The more bokeh the better. That's photography lingo for the 'pretty blurred polka dots effect in the background'. It's pretty easy to find a still to photograph when there are all kinds of Christmas ornaments lying around the house.

These were all taken over the Thanksgiving holiday. I would have posted them awhile back but I don’t like to give away all of my photo goodies in one shot. I like to let my photos simmer a bit.

Christmas photos of my pets that is. Especially ones with Dixie. She’s such a diva. Think Miss Piggy but in canine terms. It’s written in our contractual agreement that if she provides me with the “awww effect”, I reward her with treats. Actually, I come out ahead on the deal.

The outcome was far better than I expected. I like the silhouette that I captured so I added a smoke texture to give this a beatnik, jazzy look to it.  Good thinking cat! :) Have a great weekend everyone. Until next time.
