Last month I had the pleasure of spending a few days with one of my dear friends Jeanne Oliver in Salt Lake City. We talked of inspriration and plans and collaborative projects. We also discussed ideas of how we could do something fun on our blogs for the month of February – something that spoke of love. We agreed that one thing we both love is photography – not only of big production photography, but of making simple photos of the things in our lives give us joy and make us grateful. We wanted to find something that would include as many people as possible and we wanted it to be easy. We didn’t want people to feel burdened, but we did want to encourage people look around them throughout the month of February and be more intentional (one of my words for 2012!) and present in their lives.
Thus, we thought that we would have a linky party!
Here are the rules:
1. Be present
2. Be open to the lovely things and people in your life
3. Have fun
4. Include your children and family and I know they will have fun too
5. Take your photos with any kind of phone or phone app
6. Share your favorite images each Friday on your blog and link up with us on ours.
See – simple as can be!
Here are my images that make me happy this week~
We will be alternating weeks and this week we will be linking onto Jeanne’s blog, so head on over to link up! As it is the first week, you can always use photos of lovely that are already on your phone. I can’t wait to see what sorts of things you have that bring joy in your life! Make sure to leave me a comment if you participate so that I can find your photos~

Love this idea- I’ll jump right in next week.
Happy Friday,

I’m shooting *only* with the iPhone these days – and *loving* it. I’ve returned to the black and white fine art stuff that got me started with expositions when I was shooting for Façonnable and it feels like ‘coming home’…to France, to ‘the lovely’, to some sort of honoring of the artist within. I post an image daily at the blog: http://lafourchette.blogspot.com
Love this kind of challenge! If you don’t mind me asking, are you using a collage tool w/ your Iphone? Or are you doing it after download? Just curious? Love the big smiles from your son!
Hi Kim! I will be signing up. I have been doing iPhone photos the last few weeks on my blog. Even though I love my phone I will wait till I can get on my laptop this afternoon to signup.

Hello Kimberly! I LOVE your work! I stumbled upon it somehow recently- thru Jeanne I am sure– and I love your eye and your subject matter. Today I am already taking pictures for next weeks post! Oh and thank you ever so much for coming by my blog this morning and leaving a comment.
Lovely idea!
