Here is the first photo I told you about in the last post, which talked about me experimenting with photoshop.The idea spawned from the background I used for the ArtCard shown below in this post. The paper reads Je t’aime, which as some of you may know, means “I Love You” in French. I knew […]

To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring – these are some of the rewards of the simple […]

If you’ve never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom. ~Audra Foveo~ *I wish it were sunny out today like in the photo…….this weekend has been gloomy and foggy……yesterday it was so thick, we didn’t really go anywhere. Although, […]

I don’t like standard beauty – there is no beauty without strangeness. ~Karl Lagerfeld THOUGHTS: The image of this tree is hauntingly alluring. I love that it evokes nostalgia in buckets.

Would that then make the comparison irrelevant since it’s not a photo of the same exact scene? Hmmmm, oh well…….I don’t usually discriminate, except […]

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! *****Modified******02.14.2008~11:22pmI got my Valentine’s day flowers a day early, Cody surprised me with them since I was having an unusually bad day. They were so bright and beautiful, I was in the middle of washing dishes when he brought them in…….I promptly finished so that I could arrange them and take photos […]
