Sometimes Life is Sooooo Busy!

Good gravy life has been hectic! I really had the intention to post on my blog every day, but it was enough if I managed to brushed my teeth (and I admit... didn't always happen). I have kept up fairly well with Facebook. I'm sorry dear blogspot - I promise not to leave you like that again.

Beautiful Shawna-Mom

Shawna & Quinn

Going to New Orleans!

They have the coolest graveyards in New Orleans. Also the greatest music. Jazz Fest!

No Trespassing

... which of course I did. For the shot of course. Old barns speak to photographers. Especially when they tell me not to trespass.

Sunday Sleepiness Settles In

The best pictures I took today were with someone elses camera. Hopefully they'll send them to me. It was my Great-Aunt's memorial and I didn't want to bring my gear.... Of course as soon as I got there - I wished I'd had it with me. So - boring flower instead. I am taking a picture every day. I just don't manage to make it to the blog.

I Heart Faces - Collage Challenge

It was Tutu Tuesday at the Zoo. These babies are Ridiculously cute! Make sure you visit http://iheartfaces.blogspot.com/ for more really cool collages

All Board Retreats Should be Like This!

I'm on the board of Acoustic Sound. Being "on the board" sounds so stuffy (and grown up!), but it's just the opposite. We spent the weekend envisioning the future of an amazing music festival. I'm really blessed to have the chance to work with such dedicated, talented and fun people. This picture captures the energy.

And did I mention they play music, make incredible food (freshly dug clams, yum!) and have access to the best wine in the state? I'm not kidding.... all board retreats should be like this.

Nala the Jaguar

I Have a Really Cool Job. Sometimes I just need to walk around and be completely grateful for the life I've been given. How many people get to see Jaguars on a regular basis? I do... and that's cool.

Monday Hope

Hope is "to look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence." That about sums up how I am today. The offer was accepted, the papers are signed... now I just need a glowing inspection.

There's something about dragonflies that are magical. It seems right for this picture to be my choice today.

I Have the Cutest Real Estate Agent

Sam drove out to see me so I could put an offer on a house. She looked so darn cute, I just had to take her picture. I'm trying my best not to become attached to the house. Some emotion, good. Crazy emotion, bad.

Bad Stinky Dog

Yesterday my dog fell into a pond, with green scum. He's graceful like that. So now, not only is he bad... he is also stinky (well more stinky than usual).

Hello my Darling Blog

I've missed you so...

Catching up with Creativity

I'm finally able to post! Yeah!

Citizen Cope - Art Walk - Kiersten

My Very Cute Momma

I couldn't carry the chair and rug and the other multiple items that had been accumulating in my car - so I set them in the front yard. My Mom was nice enough to pose for me.

Sunshine & Rain

Could use more of the former, less of the latter

Martini Friday

Always a great time. Good friends, good weather, excellent martinis.

Claire Anne

Photoshop - it's an uphill battle and hours at the computer. I really should have been cleaning the house.

Two Cute Faces

I'm taking pictures every day... it's the editing & posting that is killing me.

Celebrating 40 years of Lisa G

I promised a year ago that I would take pictures of Lisa on her 40th. Well she's just about to turn 41, so it was time to make good on my promise. I should spend some time editing, but I'm just going to post the ones that speak to me. Light, personality, composition. The ones that capture "Lisa G" (and are different than fb).

Black & White or Color?

I'm leaning towards the b/w version of this photo. I'd love feedback (holy moly - I have 15 followers!)on which you prefer.

More Twins!

They are about the cutest things ever.

Go Dog Go!

Milo the wonder dog. Posing on the green grass for St. Patricks day.

My Favorite Face of All

Hailey... my favorite picture ever taken. At least 16 years ago.

Linnea Plays the Sticks

I'm so lucky that Kelly (mom of twins) lives near the zoo. I have handy subjects all the time.

Welcome Little Baby Bella!

And I mean little! She's just about 6 lbs and frowns like someone with something on their mind. So cute!

The Spitfire Child

This child has some spunk. The best part? She talks like an 80 year-old woman who smokes a pack a day. It's disconcerning coming from the mouth of a 5 year-old.

You'd Never Know it Was Spring

Freezing. Me.

End of Color Week

Still need RED, but until I can get my friend to get in her bathtub with her red shoes - it's gonna have to wait. Instead, here are crayons. Makes me want to color.

Finding True Love

When you think about it, I'm pretty old to be in love like a giddy teenager - but I am. I feel really lucky that I've found the person that makes me feel like my true self. I can finally be centered and creative and trust. We celebrated a year yesterday. In honor, here is a mosaic of our adventures.

I'm a sucker for giveaways!

Check out the birthday giveaway at the Maternal Lens – great prizes!

And here's a picture of me & Steve Martin for no reason at all (except he just hosted the Oscars, which was somewhat surreal because he's nothing like that in real life)

Purple Tuesday - Yummy!

I asked Hailey if she would wear a purple shirt and hold a dirty plant for me. She understood my vision.. and stood outside freezing to get the shot. God Bless her!

I Heart Faces Challenge - Jump for Joy!

I think her expression makes the picture :)

Colorific

Been sick for days. Really hard to take pictures when all I want to do is sleep.

GREEN sweater & a HOT PINK tutu

I joined for the love of color on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/1324987@N25/. It's a great way to be inspired and I'm finding green & hot pink things everywhere!

Inspiration - Wanted

It Smells Good Out There

Spring. Time to clean.

Four Days of Bluegrass Bliss & No Sleep!

Oh I love the bluegrass. I love banjos and sad songs. I love stumbling upon random pickers in a corner playing amazing music. I love singers who make the hairs on my arm stand on end. I especially love kids loving bluegrass. Wintergrass... it ended too soon. Here are some photos from my weekend (which ended too soon).
