I only had time for a few shots of Erin this past weekend. They were only there for 24 hours on the first stop of their week-long vacation.

This photo made it to Explore's Most Interesting today, July 23, 2008. Haven't had a photo there since February! Yeah - that's a big deal for me. See Flickr for my processing information.

Alicia & Dayne

June 28, 2008 - a day that is memorable on many levels. Alicia & Dayne were married outside on her mother's property and their day started out just gloriously perfect. Then, the wind picked up (that's a subtle way of saying we had 50 mp winds). And yet, the bride was stunningly gorgeous and the groom was happy and loving every minute of it. These are just a couple of my favorites from downtown and the fainting couch. More photos in their slideshow. You may wonder why we are in front of a power plant?? Dayne & Alicia are both electricians and that was his great suggestion!

Bright Eyes

Hailey was so happy for her nine-month session. I can't believe our next session with be our last one already. The first image is my very favorite!

I love to wander the grounds of the Highland campus and capture the beautiful flower images that our crew create for us.

4th of July

Ah, it's been a busy start to the holiday weekend. I got to have Paige for three whole days (she and I were both very excited). She's so independent for a four-year-old - knows when to take her medicine, how much, when it's time for the vitamins, when to give the dogs treats and dog food and which song is the best on her CD. We went to the Freeport library (first time for her) and checked out eight books. It is a 'novel' idea to her to return a book. The library has some great, educational toys and we even met a little girl there that we later saw at the swimming pool. After our trip to Union Dairy, we sat in Debate Square and just acted silly together. The little park is being improved in readiness for our sesquicentennial celebrations. There are a couple of photos of her on my website.

Today is mine, though, and I've just returned from picking up two pieces of Great-Grandma's maple furniture that Paul, at Celia's redid for me. I love the way they turned out. Shabby chic worked out perfectly. Now, I have to get busy and get a couple of new lights and probably different rugs for the living room where the two pieces are at home again.

Just found this blog and really love the tie-in with reading and photography - two of my very favorite things. I arrived there while googling the Wordpress blogging software. I think I want to combine my blog and website if I can figure out how to do it!
