"And the purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience." ~Eleanor Roosevelt #the100dayproject #100daysof_1wordadaydiary #livethelittlethings #nothingisordinary #happierpodcast #happier2018 #acolorstory #onmywalk #aewellnesstribe
"...climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot oftener, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along." ~Robert J. Hastings The best Father's Day present the kids could have sent- and I get to enjoy it too :) We all love @jenisicecreams - and I also love the branding & packaging (Pantone 172) & the logo by @jessicahische ! #the100dayproject #100daysof_1wordadaydiary #happierpodcast #happier2018 #acolorstory #adesignkit #livethelittlethings #nothingisordinary
"Your wave is waiting!" This started out as a photograph of a surfer, then in Photoshop I added filters, textures & blending modes to the picture. #the100dayproject #100daysof_1wordadaydiary #internationalsurfingday #happier2018 #happierpodcast #acolorstory #nothingisordinary #livethelittlethings #doitfortheprocess #carveoutimeforart
"Nature is pleased with simplicity." ~Isaac Newton Whether it's the simplicity of flowers silhouetted at sunset or a gorgeous beach in Aruba or a bird sitting on a branch in the woods at the lake...taking pictures of nature never gets old. #the100dayproject #100daysof_1wordadaydiary #naturephotographyday #onmywalk #aewellnesstribe #acolorstory #nothingisordinary #livethelittlethings #happier2018 #happierpodcast
“Freedom is the last, best hope of earth.” ~Abraham Lincoln Finding glimpses of our flag & reminders of our freedom at the boardwalk on Flag Day. These included watching the US Air Force Thunderbirds practicing for the air show this weekend...a US Coast Guard ship in the inlet...and a memorial with a piece of steel from the World Trade Center.

"...'cause a little bit of summer is what the whole year is all about." ~John Mayer It felt like summer today- sitting by the pool, reading a book & drinking ice tea with lemon. So good! #the100dayproject #100daysof_1wordadaydiary #livethelittlethings #nothingisordinary #acolorstory #adesignkit #happierpodcast #happier2018
"Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing." ~Camille Pissarro #the100dayproject #100daysof_1wordadaydiary #acolorstory #livethelittlethings #nothingisordinary #ipulledoverforthis #happierpodcast #happier2018 #dspink #dslooking
"Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe, shine through..." ~John Jakes Just be you. #the100dayproject #100daysof_1wordadaydiary #livethelittlethings #nothingisordinary #happierpodcast #happier2018 #acolorstory #onmywalk #aewellnesstribe
“A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because its trust is not on the branch but on it's own wings.” ~Author Unknown Have faith & trust & believe in yourself. #the100dayproject #100daysof_1wordadaydiary #livethelittlethings #nothingisordinary #acolorstory #happierpodcast #happier2018 #onmywalk #aewellnesstribe
“Those who say that we’re in a time when there are no heroes, they just don’t know where to look.” ~Ronald Reagan I went to a fundraiser tonight for our local hospital. They honored the nurses & doctors of the NICU unit- they're pretty special people. Those in the medical profession are truly everyday heroes. #the100dayproject #100daysof_1wordadaydiary #livethelittlethings #nothingisordinary #happier2018 #happierpodcast #acolorstory
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." ~Leo Buscaglia A good reminder after this week. Reach out...hold on...give hugs...be there for a friend...encourage someone...love yourself. Whether it's a parent, a sibling, a spouse or a significant other, your pet, a teammate, or a friend. Lend an ear or lend a hand. Just be there for each other.

Birds of a feather... Went to a really cute little zoo today. Loved watching the flamingos. They were quite vocal...I never realized before how noisy they are. There was another bird in with them that was getting them honking & squawking. Swipe through to see who the instigator was (and also today- yay Caps!). #the100dayproject #100daysof_1wordadaydiary #livethelittlethings #nothingisordinary #acolorstory #happier2018 #happierpodcast #onmywalk #aewellnesstribe

A little about me


A little about me


 

Hello & welcome!

I'm pleased to meet you.  My name is Dawn Smith and I'm a wife, mother, art photographer & designer. A perfect day would be spent on the beach with my family...with a book in one hand and my camera in the other. 

My art is inspired by the wonders of nature and celebrates the beauty that's found in the ordinary, everyday moments of life. 

I believe:

that the glass is half full.

that happiness is found in the quiet moments

that the best things in life aren't things.

that less is more.

that kindness matters.

in giving back (I donate a portion of all sales to a local cancer center).

I hope that my work will bring light & happiness to your home.  Thanks so much for visiting!
