Waiting on butterflies

(sneak peek from my photog adventures!)

Top 23 signs you need Photog intervention!


1) Your spouse person is sick and tired of being in your photos.

2) You walk a mile, set up your camera for the shot, go to snap the picture and that's when your camera informs you..."SIM CARD FULL" So you let out a bad word.....walk back to the truck (another mile) then go back (another mile) all to take a picture of a fat horse eating grass.

3) Your dog is sick of you following her around with the weird black thing in your face. (it makes you look scary)

4) Your realize the butterfly is flirting with your through the lens.

5) You wait an hour for the damn butterfly to land so you can take its picture.

6) You follow the butterfly down a hill side to take its picture.

7) You rip your jeans, while taking picture of said butterfly.

8) You live for the thrill of landing, "the perfect shot"

9) Though, your not sure what the "perfect shot" will be, you still live for it.

10) You know when you capture, "the perfect shot."

11) You say bad words at butterflies for not cooperating.

12) You hope where you're sticking your foot, doesn't end with a snake bite. (b/c this is going to be the "perfect shot" and a trip to the hospital would ruin your plans of a beautiful day of picture taking)

13) You hope the nice men on golf carts, who agreed to let you stay on the private property to take pictures of the butterflies, don't think you're too crazy for yelling at the butterflies.

14) It takes you 2 hours to drive home, when it should have only taken 15 mintues, because you keep stopping to take pictures of butterflies, bee's, fat horses and exhaust pipes.

15)You sweet mother-in-law allows (to a degree) you to play in her flower beds.

16) Your father-in-law and 13 year old neighbor girl, on the other hand will never understand why you crawl around on your belly, and twist your body into a pretzel.

17) You enjoy flirting with sunlight.

18) The world you see through the view finder is beautiful, enriching, mesmerizing, simple, complicated, and colorful. When you look through the view finder, you see a world unlike any other, you notice how important and beautiful a small ray of sunlight can be. You see intimate parts of flowers, and just how cute a horses nose is. Truth be told, it's a very addicting world, b/c it's just you and what's on the other side of that lens!

19) People never know where you are, what you're doing, or why it took you 2hours to get home.

20) You spend waaay too much of your afternoon sunlight waiting on butterflies!!

21) You come up with this list while walking 4miles. Hoping you can find that line in the sand between crazy and passionate!

22) On impulse you run out of the house to chase a big-fat-skunk. Only to realize when you're 3feet away from said skunk...this is a bad idea!! (true story, and thank God I did not get sprayed)

23) It takes a photograph to make you realize you have your mother's eyes!
