Why, hello there! My name is Courteney, and I am the one that fills this little corner of the internet with whatever my heart desires. I dream in eras gone by and are yet to come. I fancy myself an artist of sorts, and enjoy practicing many different expressions of the fine arts. Want to know more? Check out my "about" page.

I don’t often go for drives on my own; but today I had to get out of the house owing to the fact that I’ve spent all week inside working on photography stuff. Of course, what do I do then? I get out of the house and take more pictures for myself to edit. Oh well.
Fall is in the air. I can practically smell the pumpkin spice lattes brewing. I even wore a scarf today. Oh, the anticipation!
It’s no secret that I’m no nature photographer. I haven’t the patience or the stealth to properly capture any wild animal in a photograph.

Let me tell you though, aside from the fact that I’m clumsy and can’t sneak up on a thing normally…when I have a loud bronchial cough, it makes it even more awkward. But I managed to get a few shots:
