Happy Earth Day, friends! In honor of this most glorious day, how awesome are these photos by photographer Alex MacLean? He captures beautiful landscapes — pools, farms, highways — from thousands of feet above the ground. “I generally like photographing places I have never seen before and trying to understand both the settlement and its natural forms and how they relate to each other,” he said.

It makes everything look almost majestic, doesn’t it? Are you doing anything to celebrate Earth Day? Have fun and enjoy the weather! xoxo

Family Photos: Easter weekend…

Confession: I’m not quite sure where the last four days have gone. It’s been a blur of relaxation, a leisurely lunch at Applebee’s and a bit of Target shopping thrown in for good measure. Good thing I snapped a few photos to capture the moments, starting with my musings in Barnes & Noble, above. I saw that bag at the checkout, and couldn’t help but wonder: Is that me? Isn’t that all of us sometimes?

The hair — the before-and-after shots really demonstrate my desperation, don’t you think?

Of course I wore my best polo shirt for Easter day!

And according to my mother, you’re never too old for a little visit from the Easter Bunny. Who was I to argue with her? She’s pretty convincing.

How was YOUR weekend, friends? Got any Easter loot to share? xoxo
