Spring has sprung!

March 20, 2018/ Trina Bauer

It may not feel like it, but spring has sprung!! As we wait for the snow to arrive, I can't wait for the flowers to bloom, the grass turn green and hear the sound of the birds chirping. Who else is ready for this season???

I've been stuck lately. Most everything I photograph, I hate. I have these ideas that look great in my mind. But when I see the images on my computer, it looks like crap. And it's frustrating me. So much so, I haven't picked up my camera much lately. I don't know how to get out of this rut. I've even thought about just putting my camera away and quitting. .. .. I know it's just a phase. I hope. But how do I get through it? .. .. There's a park I love that has some foliage in bloom right now. So last night I grabbed my camera bag and headed over there with Izzy. Maybe I just need to shoot something personal. And stop worrying about print competition. I set Izzy up, got my camera ready and just sat. Instead of shooting, I just watched her. I did take a few shots. But mostly, I enjoyed being there with her instead of focusing on getting the perfect shot. .. .. I'm thinking about creating a personal project or doing a model call to help me get my mojo back. What do you do when you feel stuck? .. .. #goldenretrieverworld #gloriousgoldens #goldenretriever #goldenretrievers #ilove_goldenretrievers #retrieveroftheday #instagolden #goldensofinstagram #ilovemydog #spring #stopandsmelltheflowers #statecollegephotographer
I collect quotes and last year I wrote a bunch of them on a sheet of paper and put them in a box. One for every day of the year in 2018. Here's the one I picked this morning... "Always trust your dreams. They've chosen you as much as you've chosen them." ~ The Universe Wow! Think about it. Your dreams want to be manifest as much as you want to manifest them. There is no accident that you obsess about some things in life. Because you were meant to make those things happen. What dreams do you have? .. .. .. .. A couple of nights ago I wrote in my journal all the things I want to accomplish in the next 6 months. There were some pretty ambitious goals. Some of them I can't even imagine how they are going to happen. But I know I want them to. I think about it all the time. And you know what? I'm going to start working toward making them come true. Even if all I do is one small thing, it's still an accomplishment. Sometimes the universe just needs to know you want it as much as you say you do. Then doors you never imagined existed, start to open up. You just have to have faith. .. .. #dreams #dreamsdocometrue #dogs #dogsofig #puppiesofpennstate #pennstate #weare #pennstatealumni #kita #dogphotographer #statecollegephotographer
I love volunteering at my local animal shelter. Meeting all the cats and kittens and helping them find their forever homes is so rewarding. Even though I am the one who takes the photos, I don't work alone. I've had an assistant help me for the last couple of years. This past weekend we worked together for the last time. Rebecca graduated from Penn State and is heading to Germany to pursue her Master's. I couldn't say goodbye before getting one last shot. And of course we had to include a couple of our new friends. I'm going to miss her. Wrangling cats takes a bit of skill and she and I really made a great team! .. .. #centrecountypaws #adoptables #cats #kittens #adoptdontshop #kittensofig #lovekittens #kittenseason #kittensofinsta #kittensofinstagram #sheltercat #rescuedontshop #rescuedontbuy #heartsspeak
I've been spending a lot of time at Penn State's Arboretum lately. It's such a nice way to wind down at the end of the day. Quiet, peaceful and calm. It's just what I needed in the midst of a chaotic couple of weeks. My husband's uncle passed away after a long battle with cancer. It's been a difficult year emotionally for us and it's nice to be reminded that spring does come and with it new life. .. .. #pennstate #arboretum #tulips #flowers #gardens
Happy Mother's Day to all the mommas out there including those with furry kids! I love being a #dogmom to my furkids! .. .. #mothersday #selfportrait #dogs_of_instagram #dogsofig #goldensofig #ilovegolden_retrievers #goldensarethebest #statecollegephotographer #dogphotographer

We exchanged "I dos" 12 years ago today. After celebrating the best day of my life, we hopped on a plane, and headed for quite possibly the most beautiful place on earth. East Shoal Bay Anguilla is #whereiwander and will always hold a special place in my heart. We were fortunate to go back for our 10th anniversary and I can't wait until our return again one day. .. .. #wandererbracelet #wandererbracelets #anniversary #westilldo #anguilla #eastshoalbay #caribbeanlife
Wait, is that color I see??? Yes!!! Spring has finally arrived! Couldn't help but take this shot of Izzy on our walk through campus the other day. .. .. #dogs_of_instagram #dog #dogsofig #weeklyfluff #pennstate #oldmain #springhassprung #WeAre #pennstatecampus #psupuppies #goldensofig #goldenretriever #psupets #statecollegephotographer #goldenretrieverlove #retrieveroftheday #goldensarethebest
