"A Leg To Stand On" Sheri & Bill (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) Flamingos are known for their color, but have you ever pondered or appreciated their balance? One leg. Calm. Confident. Unshaken. We all need a leg to stand on - not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually, mentally. Something that grounds us when life gets messy or unpredictable. That leg is a belief, a value, a little grit and grace. Balance means knowing what holds you steady, even if you’re st

Parrots wear every feather with confidence. Oftentimes, we shrink ourselves a little to fit into spaces that were never meant to contain us. We tone ourselves down to avoid standing out or to meet expectations that were never really ours to begin with. So how about we let our colors fly? That’s the kind of energy we need more of! The Beauty of Being Colorful Sheri: I think the world always needs colorful people—people with all their quirks, ideas, and sparkle. These are the

Be Still… Be still, and let the weight of the moment fall away, Like leaves that drift to the forest floor. In the silence, the soul finds its compass, Pointing home to the calm you thought you’d lost. Be still, and watch as time softens its grip, Seconds stretching like golden threads in the sun. The rush fades, replaced by a gentle pulse, A reminder that life is more than a race. Be still, and feel the earth beneath your feet, Steady, unchanging, a quiet anchor. In stilln

"Life is a journey, not a destination." Ralph Waldo Emerson (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) “Life is a journey, not a destination.” Ralph Waldo Emerson The Ferris wheel was mesmerizing, as it turned gracefully on the pier at the Atlantic City Boardwalk. It carried people upward and downward, round and round, and offered new views with each rotation. But in this particularly quiet moment, the wheel was not turning, the water was still, and the entire scene doubled in

Leaning out the car window and smiling at your reflection in the mirror is one of those caught-in-the-act-of-living moments that got us thinking about mirrors. So, where’s the metaphor about mirrors, you ask? (You know us – we always have a metaphor!) Mirrors—at least rearview mirrors—remind us that while forward motion matters, our past travels with us, offering perspective. The rearview mirror shows what’s behind us—like poor choices, life lessons, and that guy tailgating

"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." (Abe Lincoln) Original photography by Sheri & Bill There’s something about early morning light that feels like a promise. Before the rush of the day begins, when the world is still stretching and yawning, the soft glow of the rising sun reminds us that a fresh start is always possible. In that golden hush, happiness doesn’t feel like a pursuit - it simply i

Willingness and Ability - Birds of a Feather for Success! (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) Flocks of birds soar with effortless grace, adjusting instinctively to each other, guided by both willingness and ability. We’ve come to see these two qualities of willingness and ability as the “power couple” behind success. While we may want to grow or change, it’s the willingness to step out coupled with the ability to follow through that moves us forward. And like birds in

Pictures Pen and Positivity...A Bright Perspective of Everyday Stuff ... by Sheri & Bill Pictures Pen and Positivity... A Bright...

"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." Berthold Auerbach (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) There’s something magical about standing at the edge of the ocean, toes in the sand, as waves roll in with their steady, soothing rhythm. It’s nature’s soundtrack—gentle, powerful, and perfectly in sync with your heartbeat. Just add your favorite music to the mix, and suddenly, your soul gets a spa day. Sheri: Music is

"If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden." Frances Hodgson Burnett (Original photography by Sheri Bill) Cameras in hand, we stood surrounded by a garden of rose bushes. It felt like we’d walked into a live painting where the fragrance was real, and the buzzing bees were (thankfully!) ignoring us. Beauty was all round us. Sheri : From my smiling demeanor, you can see that I was much more conscious of the beautiful roses than the prickly

Live Live to the Fullest (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) Live life to the fullest—don’t just watch the days go by, fill them with purpose, adventure, and fun. Life isn’t about waiting for the “perfect time”—it’s about making now the best it can be. Take that trip, make that call, try something new—truly live each day. That walkway in our photo? It’s not just wood and nails—it’s an invitation, a symbol of direction, of movement, of saying “yes” to what lies ahead. Whet

"Colors are the smiles of nature." Leigh Hunt. (original photography by Sheri & Bill) Then we saw it: a bush so vibrantly pink it looked like it won a bet with a flamingo. Sheri: I took this shot at the Botanical Gardens. These friend-seeking leaves were smiling at me, wanting my attention and I didn’t refuse their call – I did my best to capture the heart of our encounter. Bill: Something about that neon shrub and Sheri’s reaction to it that cracked my cynical shel

Have a Clear Point of View - Sheri & Bill (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) There’s something reassuring about a lighthouse. It doesn’t try to be everything to everyone. It simply stands tall, shines brightly, and does its job: to guide, to warn, and to stay focused. That’s the beauty of a clear point of view. When we know where we stand, what we value, and where we’re heading, everything gets simpler. A clear point of view, like a lighthouse, helps cut through the fog

A Smile is a Curve - Sheri & Bill (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) A smile is a curve that can set everything straight. Okay, okay…we know the smiles in our photo aren’t technically real, but when we spotted these two cuties, they seemed to be grinning back at us! So, when we brought our happy image home, we took a little creative license, enhancing the smiles we knew were there if nature had allowed. Sheri: Smiles are contagious. When someone flashes a genuine grin,

Life Is Better With Laughter....Sheri & Bill (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) Life’s a rollercoaster, full of twists, turns, and tumbles. But when you add laughter to the ride, it’s like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. It’s like a magic trick that smooths out the bumps and makes moments sparkle. Bill: I took this shot of these two “Running Buddies” at the finish line of the Peachtree Junior Road Race. The laughter and connection between these two young

Keep your eye on the goal! Sheri & Bill (original photography by Sheri & Bill) It was a perfect day for shallow waves and sandy toes—the kind of day where the ocean breeze carries just the right mix of adventure and relaxation. With our camera in hand, we weren’t just here for the sun and surf; we were on a mission. Nature’s food chain was on full display as local seagulls patrolled the shoreline, eyes locked on the prize. Each returning wave left behind tiny bubbles risin

Friends forever...You're the peanut butter to my jelly! (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) Peanut butter and jelly are the ultimate comfort food duo, like best friends who always have your back. Sheri: Peanut butter is the steady, reliable one—rich, smooth, and satisfying. It’s the friend who’s always there for you, offering support and warmth. Bill: Jelly, on the other hand, is the playful sidekick. Sweet, fruity, and bursting with joy. Jelly is the friend who makes
