A Little Something Refreshing

We’re a little more than halfway through winter. I thought images of seashells and sand (from St Pete’s Beach in Florida ‘96) would be a little encouraging!

Spotlight: Cartoonist

A quick break from photography, I wanted to share a cartoon strip that a friend of mine publishes on her website.

“Fall on Me” is a cute, funny comic based on her newlywed life, but it certainly attracts any reader! I invite you to visit her website, subscribe to her feed, or just leave a comment in support of a fellow artist! Did I mention Adriana is Canadian? :-)

She is also available for commissions, so if you’re interested in a new Facebook profile picture, a new logo for your website, or fresh artwork, she is the person to contact!

a season of trees

*edited!* I’ve included a snapshot of the other ’season of trees’ I did a few years ago.

Have you ever done this? Taken the same photo in different seasons, and then put them side-by-side? Please share it with me!

It’s one of my favourite projects to collect over time! At my parent’s house, I took a photo of the backyard tree looking up in each season. It’s so neat to look back at them.

Here is a tree in my neighbourhood that I’ve shot only three times, but come spring, I will update this post to include that photo :-)

New Money

This is one of my most-viewed photos on Flickr, currently at 426 views since December 2006. Not too shabby!
We had just gone to the bank (no, we didn’t rob it!) and I had had my camera with me (of course). I thought it would make an interesting photo. I just love the crispy feel to new money, and the colours are beautiful and perfect too. It almost makes me not want to spend this money, but since it wasn’t mine, I didn’t have to make that decision :-)

a cheery bunch

Last week was pretty rough for me! I was suffering from a pinched nerve in/around my neck starting on the Friday (Sept 5th), and when I had a scheduled photoshoot with a mother & daughter on the Saturday, I nearly collapsed from the pain. I hope to reschedule with them, as our time together was unfortunately cut short!
By Monday I was feeling a bit better. It’s amazing how helpless one feels when you can’t move! I had been given muscle relaxants and they were certainly helping.
When my husband came home from work, he so kindly brought me this bouquet of flowers. I was thankful, especially because the sun was shining in a clear sky – a perfect photo opportunity! :-)

the “Bee’s Knees”

I went to the St Jacob’s Farmer’s Market yesterday at noon hour (bad idea, it was jam-packed!) I popped in just to get a bunch of sunflowers.
This was one of the shots I took of the bunch. We’ve had fabulous weather these last few days, with clear skies and just a coolness in the air… no more humidity.
I took advantage of the clear blue skies for this shot, as you can see! I wasn’t planning on having the bee in the shot, but I think he (she?) really adds to the photo. :-)

You can find this print in my Etsy shop.
