sunday morning in chicago

From a quick jaunt to Illinois with my parents and sister back at the end of September. We didn't have the luxury of time to spend time doing so real-deal sightseeing, so I took these from the backseat.

Chicago is definitely on my list of places to revisit. It's big and beautiful and seems very full of stories.

This photo is one of my favorites of this year.

From a late summer evening spent in Grandma N's alfalfa field. It was a sweet weekend respite from the new semester that I was working to acclimate to - and now it's a very pleasant memory.

I plan on posting photos from the past few months over the next week or so; autumn's a lovely season and I've had such a good time using my new camera to record some of its loveliness. 

Have a happy Monday afternoon!

Hello Again

After a hiatus and relocation, I am back in the blogging saddle. This time, I have new ideas for what I'll post and why I'm here.

One, I simply love photography. It's sort of like a habit; if the light is good or the situation an interesting one, I reach for my camera. This happens often (life is beautiful!), so I have these photos that I want to share. Blogging is an efficient way do to that.

The other reason I'm back: I love writing. Here is a practical way to practice it. 

My desire to document life and grow in those areas come together and perfectly compliment the fact that I have something to say; a story to tell about life. In this era, getting heard by even a few people is as simple as clicking 'publish post'. That's a gift I'll try not to abuse. 

Then there's one last overarching fact about this blog: God's presence in my life. His perfect love and saving grace are things I want every reader of this blog to know about.

It's good to be back,

Mia
