The Picture Perfect Project: Gems of Nature

So I have decided to join up with some fabulous bloggers to participate in the monthly The Picture Perfect Project. Thanks to Rosy and her lovely blog for talking me into it :) This is the second post so I missed the first one but am excited to join up now! 

The Project motivates and challenges bloggers to take more photos to help grow their photography skills. There is a link up every month on Thursday! (the second Thursday of the month)

Ever since I was little and received my first real camera for Christmas in third grade I have LOVED taking pictures. My husband wants to just be in the moment and enjoy our date our adventure and If I'm having fun, then I want to capture the memories through pictures of course!!! Thankfully he understands my passion and love for this. 

The only problem with my love of picture taking is I'm not particularly good at it. For some reason, it's always embarrassing to love something but not be good at it. I loved my Psychopharm class but I struggled and received a D on my first test. 

I also LOVE to write but in our culture today if you are passionate about writing, having a blog with pretty pictures is kind of a given. So each month I'm going to showcase my photography to you from my precious little I-Phone 5s. 









As it is Valentine's Day this weekend I figured I would be festive and show off some beautiful pink, purple and red flowers in my neighborhood here in San Diego. I love my neighborhood walks. These are taken at a monastery garden I frequent quite often just a half mile from our place. It my little place of solace and tranquility. 

Excited to see all our photos! And if you haven't joined up, consider linking up! All the sweet hosts are listed in the graphic below! :)
