Nothing As It Seems

I have been wanting to share my work for a while now. Fear has kept me from it. After reading the inspiring speech from the legendary Steve Jobs via Serene's blog, I am having my first 'exhibition'...
* * * * * * * * * * *
I try to find the beauty in everyday objects.


All my work is done by me, without the assistance of Photoshop, or any other site or tool, rather than my own hand and the editing tool that came with my camera.
Today, it is so easy to make a good photo.
I kind of think of my images as vinyl vs. re-mastered i-pod tunes.
They may crackle a bit, but they were recorded in the studio...

So, grab a glass of champagne (the server is around someplace),
Pretend you're at a museum (or someplace really cool),
Hit the play button for background ambiance, 
and I hope you enjoy!
Thanks...

The end....

I'm Still Here !

HI EVERYONE!
I'M STILL HERE, THOUGH THIS PAST WEEK HAS BROUGHT MORE FLOODS, 
MORE RAIN, COMPUTER GLITCHES AND ME IN SOME NOT-SO-MEMORABLE OUTFITS, UNLESS YOU COUNT RAIN GEAR AND SWEATSHIRTS AS MEMORABLE ;)

SO, I'VE BEEN 'REGROUPING' I SUPPOSE. WE FINALLY GOT A DOSE OF SUNSHINE THIS WEEK-END, THUS FORCING ME TO ENTER THE YARD-O-WEEDS AND I EVEN CHOPPED DOWN A CHERRY TREE (WHICH LEFT ME ON THE SOFA ALL DAY TODAY).... THOSE BUGGERS ARE STOUT. BUT NOT TO FEAR, I LEFT THE GOOD PIECE IN TACT SO IT WILL BEGIN TO FLOURISH. THE WILD HONEYSUCKLES ARE ANOTHER STORY ....


THE FLOOD-WALL COMES DOWN TOMORROW, SO I WILL REALLY BE LEAVING THIS WEEK FOR SURE! - THE ONLY THING I'M TAKING WITH ME ARE MY CAMERA, SOME TEES AND SKIRTS AND LOTS OF BLACK. I HOPE TO RETURN REFRESHED AND ALL SHINY AND NEW- MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT. I'LL GET IN A COUPLE POSTS BEFORE I GO AND WISH ME A RENEWED SPIRIT WHILE I'M THERE ;)

WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO ...

TAKING LOTS OF PHOTOS AND DOING YARD WORK, STUPID BURBS ;)

IT'S PRETTY COOL WHAT YOU CAN FIND IN YOUR OWN BACK YARD ;)

BROKEN FLOWER POTS, WEEDS AND ROTTING BENCHES.

YEP, THAT'S MY YARD.

CHECK THIS OUT! IT'S MY DAD SITTING BY THE CHURCH 'DOWN HOME'. 

HE MADE THE NEWSPAPER, (AGAIN!)

MORE FLOOD SHOTS. YEP, THAT'S WHERE I'M HEADING ...

( NOTHING LIKE FISHING FROM YOUR DRIVE-WAY )

WHAT I WORE CLEARING WEEDS SATURDAY....

 AN ORIGINAL 'LOADS OF HOPE TEE'(CHOPPED DOWN THE SIDE and KNOTTED) A TANK, SARONG AS SCARF/SWEAT WIPER, RANDOM SKIRT, NEWEST FAVORITE THRIFTED BOOTS AND OF COURSE A SUMMER KNIT BERET ;) 

BITTY-BITTY HAS BEEN DIGGING THE NEWFOUND SUNSHINE AND I DO THINK THE VITAMIN D IS A WELCOME ARRIVAL FOR ME AS WELL :)

MAYBE I'LL EVEN DON SOME COLOR AND AN ACTUAL OUTFIT TOMORROW.....

I CAN FEEL THE COLOR COMING BACK INTO MY CHEEKS ALREADY ;)

( MY FACE CHEEKS THAT IS )

THE "OTHER" CHEEKS ARE GETTING FATTER AS I SIT HERE. 

WONDER IF IT'S ALL THE ICE-CREAM ?

THE COUCH YOGA ?

OR THE HALF-PRICE MOTHER'S DAY CANDIES ???

Hmmm...........

WELL, EITHER WAY, I'M OFF IN A COUPLE DAY FOR REAL THIS TIME. IF YOU DON'T HEAR FROM ME IN ABOUT 9 DAYS OR SO, SEND A HELICOPTER. PLEASE !

THAT'S S-T-U-R-G-I-S , KY ........

I WILL BE ANSWERING E-MAILS TOMORROW AS WELL :)

SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY!

xXx
