About Me
Ordinary Girl
A lot of people ask me why I chose the nickname of Ordinary Girl. It all goes back to growing up in a religious family where I was told I was special because God had chosen me. Then later, I had friends that told me I was special because I had a gift for magic. But in reality none of those things were true. I don't need the supernatural to feel special. I prefer to think of myself as an ordinary person, not magical, not chosen, and that's enough for me. View my complete profile

These are the last shots I'll catch from my brother-in-law's balcony most likely - 8:04 PM CDT
The view is partially what inspired me to start taking photos of the clouds and later the sun - 8:15 PM CDT
I'm a little sad - 8:36 PM CDT

Hazy gray sunset - 7:27 PM CDT
