Today was just a great day to go and take pictures. I walked down to Tillies park and got
some birds and other things today.


I have also decided that I will also start doing soccer photos again. This is something that
me and my husband can do together. So if you have a game coming up e-mail me at karens-photography@live.com.
Oh by the way my husband does speak spanish if that helps.

Fort Smith new photo club


I am starting a photo club for the Fort Smith, Ar area. I know there is a club already here but like a lot of others I can not make it on the week nights. So I am starting my own club no fees unless we grow to big and have to rent a place. We will meet once a month and also have a monthly trip.
Our first trip is April 4th to the Little Rock zoo.

Spring is here!

Spring is here and now is the best time for fellow photographers to go out and shoot. If you are like me it is more fun to go out with others. Since my children are grown it is only me and my husband. I want to find others in this area that want to go out on weekends to different places and take pictures.
I am planning a trip to the Little Rock zoo it will be in the first 2 weeks of April. Will post it as soon we figure out which weekend is open.

So glad spring is coming


I am so glad spring is coming. I don't do cold very well. It is so good to see all the spring flowers and things turning green. Time to go outside and get the yard ready. Also time for going and taking pictures of nature. So many people just rush around and never stop to see God's hand at work. You might ask what am I talking about right? Look around and really look at the details in nature. Have you ever just really looked at the inside of a flower? There is so much details there even in the what we consider weeds it is so amaseing to see that even the smallest flowers have a lot of detail.
God is the maker and designer of all. Most people can only dream of being as creative. Think about it he even made a animal that is part duck part beaver and it is a mammal but lays eggs.

Life in these times

When I was young we would hear stories on how hard times where for our parents. Things where so hard but guess what they made it the best that they could. They still had a roof over their heads and food but not be like what we ate but they did have food.
In these times we are not used to having a hard time. Things were much better for us as we grew up. Kids now would have a hard time in our youth. I will tell my stories of not having a phone and we only had 2 channels to watch no game systems no computers or anything like this. They will look at me like I am crazy then ask "so what did you do?" When I was 12 I would get up before school go milk the cow and goats feed the chickens,geese,rabbits.pigs and all the others. Then be at the bus stop which was at the end of our long driveway at 7am for our long drive to school. When school was over and we finally got home got to do it all over again. In the summer there was even more to do and you did not just call your friends and chat all day since we didn't have a phone we had no clue what happen to anyone until it was school time again.
Children in todays time all have cell phones several game systems computers and other electronic items. They also don't have to work for them either. So to me all it has done is make a lot of lazy children who think ok if I break it they will buy me a new one. When was the last time you had a 1 on 1 talk with your child no phone calls or fighting over the game? I do know tho that with all the gadgets we have now that some children will grow up and be someone great. with all the education that can be learned with computers, but on the other hand the same can be said for all the violet games that parents let their young children play it can get them in trouble later. There is a reason there is an age on these games. If it has mature on it ask yourself is your 6-7 year old mature? If not get ones that will help them grow.
If we all pull together like in the older times life can get good again. No one likes hard times but they are a fact of life. Think of it like this if we only had good times how will you every appreciate when you have bad times.
Well I guess I have said enough on this. When all else fails look in your bible for the answers they are there.
