5 Random Friday Finds

Find No. 1


I found beautiful diffused light and the perfect quote:

Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying
"I will try again tomorrow."
~Mary Anne Radmacher

I found an adorable fellow Instagrammer while away for the weekend. I love my girl!! And yes that is still ice, and yes that really was just last weekend.

    Excellent Sarah . . . I enjoy your photos and urge to explore . . .
    I wish I could be creative with foods . .
    Pork Tacos look really, really good.

    My goodness those tacos look good. What a great idea to use red cabbage to pretty them up. They look almost too good to eat. And it still looks very chilly in your neck of the woods, Sarah. You must be pretty fed up with cold weather. Wishing you some warm sunshine in the very near future. All the best, Bonny

    Being able to pick out great boots must run in the family. I love her boots. :) Ice? I hope it melts soon, but it does look pretty. The asylum looks interesting, and kinda scary too...

    After the brutal winter we (finally) had compacted into about a month and a half, I have even greater appreciation for you Northerners - Re.Spect! I have been known to place the lens of my camera to a window and snap pictures excited to see 'what' lies beyond - almost always pleasantly surprised. Your finds inspire me to revisit those pictures.

    I look forward to your next Coffee Shop Chronicle.

    THAT old assylum looks as if it might be a very interesting place to explore with your camera. Hard to believe there is still alll that ice in the lake. BRRRRRRR

    It's so nice that your daughter is sharing your passion for taking pictures. I get a kick out of going on photo walks with my girl --she with her point-and-shoot and me with my BGC. :)

    Love the quote! It's a keeper for me! One I need to read every night. I've taken a few shots through windows just to see what's inside. This place looks interesting, but a little unnerving!

    Those are some wonderful finds! Sheesh you guys need a break from the cold! And, that truly is a great quote, adorable daughter and yummy food. Oh yeah...the intrigue of the abandoned asylum. I'm glad you got to go there again.

    I love that quote! The tacos are beautiful with all that color, and they sound delicious, too. As for that asylum, I agree with Cathy H. If you ever do go inside, you will need to be very careful! It really looks unsafe...but I do understand - and share - that impulse to explore.

    One thing I really like about you Sarah is that you get out and go. Although I'm sure there are days you have to make yourself.... I get lazy much of the time. Kudos to your determined spirit.

    I love the shot of the broken window with the reflections of the landscape behind, as well as the eerie interior. Some lovely 'five's'. Take care xx
