I know that a lot of us in the Northern Hemisphere aren’t feeling particularly warm at the moment. I, for one, have been spending most of my time at home, nursing warm drinks and huddled under ...
Just a few photographs left over from my little trip out to Michigan Lake, that I haven’t already shared in my Solitude Poetic Winter post. The second to last photo (bottom left) was taken with...
Catching a little moment of solitude for myself, walking the two miles from my apartment through city streets to the beach and taking photographs while listening to the sounds of the water out on the...
Olivia came over again on Sunday, for a girls afternoon. She arrived wearing this wonderful red coat and amazing lipstick, so I couldn’t resist taking a few shots and I love how they turned out...
I thought I might share a few photographs with you, before I get too far behind on my everyday life Project 52. These are weeks 3 and 4 respectively, (the photographs for weeks 1 and 2 are buried wit...
Some photographs, taken a few weeks ago, of our friend Olivia (Mikey says that she’s a princess, I think he’s a little smitten). Olivia and I took a day to go out for coffee, take a few p...
It started snowing in Chicago late last week, one entire day of snow followed by some short flurries in the days following. The first time since we’ve been living in Chicago that it’s sno...
I’m so excited to finally announce our winter photography challenge! This Winter I’m teaming up with three amazingly talented ladies, Kristi of Live and Love Out Loud, Faith of Sweet Violet and...
I may have mentioned on the Bumbles & Light facebook page a while back that Mikey took part in a short 3 week art class at the Lillstreet Art Center just before Christmas. The Studio is just a bl...
Tuesday was our 5th wedding anniversary. We managed to escape for a lovely while, in downtown Chicago. It’s become tradition now, somehow, that we go out for Sushi on our anniversary. When my h...
Is it awful of me to say that I feel somewhat relieved that 2011 is over? It was a tumultuous year for us, and although it had it’s good aspects too I am very much done. With the changing of th...
I’m beginning to write this, and I find that I have little to no idea of what to write. This year has been such a year of rush, busyness and of transition.I wouldn’t change it for the wor...
I was going to wait until Friday to post these photographs. Fully intending on hitting the publish button on my way out the door, as we left for a small family get-together with my husband’s fa...
Over the weekend we decorated pinecones, painting the edges white and coating them with glitter. Mikey had fun with all of the glitter of course, and I don’t think I’ve entirely managed t...
I woke up on Saturday morning to see beautiful fat flakes of snow through the window, falling lazily to an already white-covered ground below. Mikey and my husband were both still snuggled up and coz...
The fetching of our lovely Christmas Tree. This is the biggest tree we’ve had the entire time we’ve been married, and we still had to ask the nice man to cut it down for us so that it wou...
I can’t help it, there’s something so irresistible about red winter berries. I love them. I took these photos while taking quick breaks from the cookie baking festivities last weekend. I ...
This is the first year since we’ve been married that we have been able to spend Christmas with any family (save our own tiny little family of three). But now we live close to my husband’s...
Look at how grainy those photos are. That’s what you get for trying to take photographs indoors without artificial light, when your camera does not work so well in low light. I bumped the ISO a...
I found the graffiti in the first photograph, while I was out looking for inspiration for Monday’s Picture the Holidays prompt, The View From Here. It was written neatly in chalk on the side of...
I don’t think I’ve done one of these reading/sharing posts for a little while now, so I have plenty to share with you this weekend! Mikey came down with a cold on Friday, quite suddenly. ...
Thank you so much to all who participated in the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge! The amazing images that came pouring in over the last eight weeks were beautiful and colorfully inspiring, to say th...
We spent Thanksgiving at our neighbour’s house. We share a back porch, left our doors open and wandered back and forth with drinks and dishes of delicious food all afternoon as we were cooking,...
And so we come to the end of our Autumn Photo Challenge! I’m writing this as I stand in my kitchen on Thanksgiving. There’s some pecan-stuffed mushrooms cooking in the oven and I’m...

The wind certainly whistles around the corners of our apartment building on those cold days, making cheeks and ears glow red. Last week we made sure all of the storm windows were closed and we’...
We had some short flurries of snow in Chicago last week, one cold windy day and punctuated with bright sunshine. While Mikey and I were outside walking our neighbours dog, that sweet little face you ...

“An interactive love letter to the universe”. That’s what the crowds are doing in Millennium Park, Chicago in the first 5 photographs. The Beckoning of Lovely, something you should ...
A couple more of the photographs I took while wandering in the rain, these I didn’t think we’re brown enough to make the cut for Friday’s blog post… but perhaps the scenes are...
