“Something Cozy”
Like I said it’s wicked windy and cold here at the Jersey Shore … she’s just whipping out there and this drafty house is creaking with each icy breath from Mother Nature! So this is how the pups “Cozy” up …
Snuggling Up Cozy Like
This sweet picture was taken while all of the Puppas were still with us … just eight weeks, I believe!
Nothing Cozier I would think …
A Nice Cozy Fire
And now … they are veteran “Coziers”! In a neat little line on their blankee in front of the fire …
Just when I thought they couldn’t get any cuter!
What makes you comfortable … Show us your “Something Cozy”

AWAKE in the wee hours and feeling Fruity … Wordless Wednesday w/Linkz-y
Welcome to Wordless Wednesday! And … my first post for 2012. I’ve been very busy the whole month of Decemeber with the Christmas stuff and caring for my grandma; who is doing well now. 
The stress from all of that seems to have caused some insomnia … last week and tonight/this morning … soooo now …
It’s Wednesday … Can’t sleep, so I got the first WW post from Lori at La-La’s Home Daycare … so I decided to play with some Still Life photography I had from playing with my new lens.
So may I present to you, with no further words or ado, brought to you by the letters
A & B
Apples and Bananas!
Happy Wordless Wednesday Loves!
Don’t forget to join Lori for
The theme is “Something Cozy”
Sounds like something I could go for right now!
Blessings Loves.

Anatomy of Ashes ~ More Macro Play + Linkzy
It’s Friday and that means Foto Play with Lori @ La La’s Home Daycare!
First I’d like to say how sorry I am that I totally missed last weeks Foto Friday prompt! I loved all the interpretations of the prompt! Excellent job! Unfortunately the prompt was closed when I got to it and could not share my pieces!
So, Lori, might I suggest for a prompt: Typography …
Now to the prompt: Macro or Close Up …
Macro photography is the art of taking close-up pictures that reveal details which can’t be seen with the naked eye.
I recently purchased a 10x macro attachment for my Nikon … and very unlike the manually cropped Macro work I’ve done in the past, the lens is not as easy to use as it is to manipulate a photo! So there’s a learning thing going on … and as much as I LOVE macro photography I’m having trouble finding the time to play.
An photographic artist with ZERO formal photography training must play to learn and learn while at play! Much like the toddler … so here is the crawling stage of Macro Photography with a Macro Lens here at A.Hutchinson Photography!
Miss Ashes ~ Close Up!
I’ve photographed Ashes before … and in macro. She is older and more content and so Feline as to sit still and wonder at my silliness. Her age and aloof attitude make her a prime model. She could not really care less about what I am doing in her sunbeam!
Miss Ashes
She’s the Matriarch of our Cat Family
(yes we have a pack of dachshund and a pride of cat!)
The Cat Walk ...
Miss Ashes prefers the out of doors … not so much because of the dachshund … she’s always been an outdoor kinda gal!
macro + flash + natural sunlight = FAIL
I thought this one was cool … although it is a macro fail in that you cannot see the detail for the flash! Can you say LEARNING CURVE?
Whisker Kisses!
I love the movement I sometimes stumble upon when I play with my photography … The light and Ashes whiskers just seem to move, I think.
Golden Eye
… this is a new picture of Ashes’ Eye … I have another in an older post!
Cat's Paw
Every Lady loves her shoes … and in the cold wouldn’t we all love a pair of these warm, velvety slippers! (dig the fibers of the chair’s cushion too!)
Last turn on the Cat Walk.
so there it is … some old (the 2 intro and the very last pic) and some fresh pics …
Macro photography shows the beauty in the finest details … and after all beauty is everywhere …
Because: God is in the details!

Your Turn …
’tis the Season! Say Cheese! … Wordless Wednesday!
We’ll never be given more than we can handle. However, we can be certain that many experiences will push us to grow in directions we never dreamed possible. God has my future well in hand. All I need is the willingness to follow God’s guidance. -

God is stretching me here … in my photography! I’ve never sold anything . I’ve never shown my photography except here, on facebook and to loved ones. I’ve never done any professional work; unless one calls a Wedding Shoot for a friend’s wedding gift professional. I didn’t.
I am most comfortable with the homey feel of “Life Photography“. I follow a few photographers who specialize in this type of photography and their work takes my breath away; and while I’ve had my share of compliments, even from these amazing photographers, I have never considered my skills anything but amateur.
And so the … S … T … R … E … T … C … H …
I have been asked to head up a photography outreach for the holidays! Family Portraits for Christmas; for those who cannot, in this economy, afford these priceless family memories!
Wonderful, out of the box outreach idea! Attractive on many levels!
The goal, besides offering the outreach? Winning souls to God! Awesome, right!?!
Except I am out of my comfort zone!
So I …

Here are some of the test shots! Taken with the most unopinionated subjects!

’tis the Season!
SAY CHEESEEEEEE ...

Enter His gates with thanksgiving … the LORD is good … Wordless Wednesday!
Psalm 100
A psalm. For giving grateful praise.
1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. 2 Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. 3 Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his[a]; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. 5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
GRATEFUL
Grateful today … and for tomorrow! Happy Thanksgiving, Loves! May your celebration be blessed and the coming year may you and yours be washed in the favor of the LORD!
Blessings Loves!

I can see clearly now … Wordless Wednesday w/Linkzy
Open my eyes, LORD
Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law. – Psalm 119:18
This Has Been A Wordless Wednesday Post w/ HOPEannFAITH.
Scripture tells us over and over that unless God opens our eyes, we can miss wonderful things.
The great beauty of life and wisdom that reading the Bible can bring come to those who are able to humble themselves before God and say, “Open my eyes that I may see”.
This simple prayer makes the truth of God’s word dynamically available to all.
