This is the first time I’ve played along with an I ♥ Faces Challenge and I’m a little excited because the amazingly talented Tara Whitney is a guest judge. You should check out some of the other fabulously dramatic black and white images here. ♥ R

I’ve always had a thing for photography, always been the girl with the camera. I love capturing people, moments, memories, the little things, the things you don’t want to forget…One day I realised that there were no photos of me, I took them, I wasn’t in them. So, in 2008, I did a 365 –…

These are absolutely AMAZING and DELIGHTUFL and GORGEOUS. I love how you captured your personality and beauty so uniquely in each image. I only take my portrait ONCE a year… but you've at inspired me to at least DOUBLE that. 
:) I hope you share the rest of your 52!
Cylone Ului made her presence well and truly felt on the weekend. It started with us losing power at around 10.15pm on Saturday night.

Oh your words make me smile!! I can't believe you have waited until now to blog – you're wonderful at this!! xx
Had a chuckle at all the Uno and BBQ comments! Glad to see you are all safe!
Glad you're all safe and sound RR…missed you!
Beautiful blog hon. Happy to hear all is good. Thanks for the funny post…it gave me my morning laugh about all you can do with a BBQ.
Ingenius uses of a BBQ! Glad you're all safe and sound, xx
i had a little giggle reading about uno and bbqing… your too funny! happy to hear your safe and your sense of humour is still in tact! rowe x
Rikii…. it is such a bee~A~utiful blog!! I am so glad the scare is over!! I never knew the BBQ could be so handy Glad you are back!!
So excited to see you blogging! I'm glad all is well and you made it through Ului. Hurricanes (as we call them here in the states) are a large scare for those of us in Florida as well. In fact, we "enjoyed" a hurricane on our wedding day several years ago. Of course, the guest list was shorter than we expected. 
Looking forward to seeing more from you…
Hugs, Hayley
