little green, be a gypsy dancer

{lyric by Joni Mitchell}

misty morning

in my garden...

"In my garden there is a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful." -Abram L. Urban

honeysuckle morning

everywhere, for a moment

"Lilacs in dooryards

Holding quiet conversations with an early moon;

Lilacs watching a deserted house

Settling sideways into the grass of an old road;

Lilacs, wind-beaten, staggering under a lopsided shock of bloom

Above a cellar dug into a hill.

You are everywhere."

-Amy Lowell

what dreams are made of

Soft lilac, aqua blue, sparkly mason jars, unlimited amounts of polaroid film (i WISH!)... ;o)

PS: Has anyone seen the new cotton commercial with Zooey Deschanel? I just saw it for the first time tonight. Love her!

happy as a clam

Warm weather + baby pool + tennis ball = Indiana's heaven. ;o)

more little b

We did another photo shoot today with Little B! He enjoyed the grass much more this time around...especially his little feets! ;o)

patience

"Our patience will achieve more than our force." -Edmund Burke

happiness

"Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them." -Leo Tolstoy

little b

Uploading this image to the Web took away a lot of its vibrancy and color, but it's still pretty darn cute! Happy six months, little B!

in the garden

after the rain

Have you ever noticed how tulips curl up during rain showers and then, ever so slowly, unfurl themselves afterwards? It took me 28 years, but I finally did. ;o)

cloudscape

"Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way..."
--Joni Mitchell

{PS: I opened up a little online shop for my photographs...click here to check it out! ;o)}

one of us

"Someday, the light will shine like a sun through my skin & they will say, What have you done with your life? & though there are many moments I think I will remember, in the end, I will be proud to say, I was one of us." --Story People

stillness...

"...in the depths of the lake
billowing clouds."
-Issa

secret places

"She ran quickly with a sound like raindrops & left her handwriting in all the secret places..." -Story People
