Friends,
Please pass the word on to those interested that I am offering High School senior class portraits this season at a special rate for those who can schedule a portrait session in July and August.
My specialty is outdoor photography and I am right next to a beautiful Wisconsin state park.  I am willing to travel around the Madison area.
I am creative with ideas that are outside the standard portrait poses.  Suggestions are welcome to help customize the look and feel of your portraits.  Portrait sessions are always fun and laid back.  I love this aspect of photography.
Those interested in seeing my portfolio and to schedule a free consultation may contact me at I appreciate your help in networking this creative service.

Let's say you're a hobgoblin for 24 hours. What sort of havoc would you wreak?

Or:

If a baby of unknown origins suddenly fell into your care, would you keep it? What would you name it?

As a 24hr hobgoblin, I would play with my twins - dangle their toys just out of reach and fill their pretty heads goblin speak.  Also, I would go to everybody's garden who I find irritating and pull out all their carrots, radishes, lettuce, eat their watermelon, poke holes in the tomatoes, carve spooky faces on the pumpkins (of course this part is season dependant).

Baby of unknown origins suddenly fell into my cave - oh wait, that happend!  And they are non chlorophyllic too - perfect in a cave situation.  My cave was infested with genetics of unknown origin!

For those of you who have inquired - Yes, I will be exhibiting my photography at Orchid Quest 2008.

Escape the snow and short cold days by visiting paradise at Orchid Quest 2008 where your senses will be awakened by hundreds of blooming orchid plants.  There are orchid exhibits ranging from 25 to 100 square feet.  Not only are the plants beautiful, many smell fantastic and bring warmth to the frigid winter.  This is one of the largest orchid shows and sales in the Midwest. 

 

Each afternoon there will be orchid related educational seminars that are conducted by renowned orchid experts.   More than 20 orchid vendors from the Midwest will be selling their exotic blooming orchids.  You will be able to find everything you need to take care of your new plants including literature, growing media, fertilizer, orchid pots, and more.

This morning I received an email from a frend with the subject line:  Calling All Photographers
As I read the email, my heart fills with intense emotion and I hear myself say "this is right".  I get to the registration details and learn this conference is in Boulder, CO with registration at $350.  This does not include travel and lodging.  My heart sank.
Now I think, how can I pose this to my husband who is home with the twins because he is laid off from his job.  This would be a tough sell on our tight budget.  The twins come first.
I ask you for guidance as to how I can find a sponsor for this opportunity.

Today is a beautiful day in Southwestern Wisconsin.  Where I live is the highest elevation in SW WI.  The fog is shifting about creating pockets of mystery in Her woodland hills.  Crystal kisses linger on leaves and branches.   A photographer’s wonderland.

Knitting project complete

05 June 2007 I started knitting a lace "garden" shawl for my sister's wedding reception at the end of September.  My sister was married in April on the island of Kauii on the beach - just the two of them.  The reception was to bring family and friends together to celebrate.

Now back to socks :)

Three intense days of nesting yields a fourth day of muscle aches and lack of focus at work.  The reward is a very clean house and tidy gardens.  I can now sit on my porch surrounded by herb gardens and potted blooms to knit and read.  Nature willing, my husband and I will have at least one month, maybe more, of quiet time to our selves before the twin pods arrive.  The home projects are done and our weekends free.  Plans to visit the zoo, arboretum, gentle nature hikes, and in general just relax.

On that note, will I be able to let go and not nit pick the small stuff.  There is the linen closet to organize, a veggie garden I could put in, photo and art projects to work on, a website to put up, and an important knitting project that I must start this weekend – a wedding shawl for my sister.

Ahhhh, multi-tasking and nesting. J

Today was such a perfect girlie Earth day for me!  Up early, went to the Sow's Ear for yarn and met up with a friend at the Mt. Horeb Chocolate shoppe to knit and gab.  Home around noon.  Sunny, breezy. 60 degrees.  So what a goth gal to do?  Why clean her herb and prairie gardens of old growth and leaves in a perfectly black gothic travel knit dress and sandals of course.  :)  Now I'm knitting this project  Need to make at least two and maybe a bunch more for gifts.  Hold on to your bloomers, but I think the girlie girl is coming out in me this spring.

When I photographed this moment, I didn't realize how it would touch me once I uploaded the photo shoot on the computer.  The Mom was just playing with her 2 month old to get him to smile.



There is a photo of this little one nursing posted on my DA gallery  http://adiantum.deviantart.com/
