This week at i ♥ faces, there is not a photo contest. However, this was the suggested blog post category:
We’d love for you to still share photos this week, so we will be having our "My Story In Photos" feature…with the theme of “My Favorite Things.” This post is all about YOU...we'd like to learn more about you. A fun way to do that will be for us all to post about our favorites things.
I don't write much on this blog, that's what my personal blog is for, to gush about my kids and family. It did occur to me that some of you may not know much about me other than the obvious fact that I have kids and enjoy eating cheesecake (see my side profile, "About Me").
Below: This is my profile icon. It's a picture of my running shoes and some weights. One of my favorite ways to spend my own personal time (what little I have) is exercising. My favorite activity is lifting weights. I lift heavy and I love how it makes me feel and look. I also run, but there is really no love there. I do it because, as stated earlier, I love cheesecake (and ice cream, and pie, and cake, and brownies, and pumpkin bread). I also enjoy yoga; it keeps me bendy.

Below: Another favorite activity is photography. For three years I pushed the limits on my little point and shoot Canon S2IS. How many people actually shoot in aperture or shutter priority with a point and shoot? Well, I did. I didn't have a fancy camera and while saving my money I decided to really use what I had. I took a photography class, read and practiced. This past January I bought a Nikon D80 and a couple of really nice lenses. I love using my new camera and I have improved and learned so much in the past year. My favorite things include beautiful evening light that makes a photo perfect and frees me up from doing much post processing.Obviously, like most of you, I like shooting faces.
I also like shooting faces of wildlife, other than my own children.
And flowers and bugs.
I also really love where I live. It is peaceful and beautiful. I am blessed.
So that is me and now here is me. My self portrait. Wrinkles and all.
Leave a comment, say "hello". Introduce yourself and tell me one of YOUR favorite things.
