Welcome Spring!

Well, although it does not really feel like spring yet, it is almost here! On Saturday, March 19, we...

Good and Lovely Things

Hello everyone! Hope your holidays were safe, happy, and full of great memories. Make this New Year your best year yet!

This might seem like a good thing! Ah, resolutions are usually difficult to stick to. Don't you think?

As we entered the new year, I've decided to make only one resolution. My resolution is to stay committed. Stay committed to my (attainable) goals. Stay committed to my dreams. Stay committed to things that will further my photography projects. Stay committed to the things I love and value.
So my word that I want to focus on for the year is commit. Truth be told, without committing, we can't achieve anything.

It's All Pink

I was planning on doing a "Weeknight Meals" blog post today, but I just couldn't get it together so I thought these pictures would make up for it. I wish I had something cool to write, but I'm going to be honest - I don't, ha! Next week...

I hope you find inspiration in these...

Have It, Enjoy It

So I had some (kind of) panic attack symptoms for the first time last month, and I read this book...it has helped so much. It got me through a really rough time.
I've tried really hard not to talk about it. This blog is not a woe is me, pity party. It can often be difficult to discuss how you feel with other people, especially if you think that no one else feels the same. Sure, there are worse things in life, but let's face it, life is...

Have a Beautiful Weekend!

The beauty of spring flowers. I have to admit that...

On Change

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself...

Five Things Tuesday

Oh, yes, it does feel like spring!

Hello! Here's are some photos for you to enjoy.

I hope you're having a wonderful week. Happy Tuesday! xx

Spring sunset.

Trying to convey what I'm feeling in my images. 

Lately, I've been drawn to photos that have painterly qualities. ABOVE This image shows "a walk in the rain". The texture in this image reminds me somewhat of an "impressionist" painting.

Spending a leisurely day at the beach.

Rose

Ah, roses...

Love and Gratitude

If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever.
By Alfred Tennyson

I'd like to dedicate this post to all my fellow bloggers, followers and readers. I did not realize how fantastic the blogging community is when I first started out. I'm immensely grateful for the continued support and engagement of a loyal and wonderful readership. I haven't made useful acquaintances, I have made friends.

Just wanted to say thank you so much, truly, for reading Cut and Dry. I have enjoyed getting to know you through this blog so much! Thanks for understanding that I could never write a long enough post to say how much you all mean to me.

With love and gratitude.

Hope you have a great weekend, stay warm! xx

Love

Love is the flower you've got to let grow.

Study in Tulip.

I hope all is well in your neck of the woods! I've been very busy with work, so I'm a bit slow on making blog visits lately. My apologies. (I'm doing great, though, so I can't complain.)

Whenever I look at flowers, it makes me smile. Flowers can make the most simple rooms lavish and fabulous! It's great to have flowers in your house. I like to put fresh flowers on my kitchen table where I can smell them and enjoy them as it is where we spend most of our time. It's always a good go-to spot for me.

Have the flowers been blooming where you live?

Hope you have a beautiful weekend, my dears! xx
