September 18- Handmade flowers

18Sep10

Isn’t the internet great?! While bored, I somehow stumbled upon craft sites, and started reading about how to make flowers out of fabric… so I thought I would give it a try. I chopped up some old t-shirts and this is what I was able to come up with… not too bad for my first [...]

Clematis My clematis finally bloomed! I bought it in June with a few nice blooms on it which promptly fell off as soon as I planted it in the ground. Throughout the summer it looked to be struggling, with the leaves on the original vine dying off some. Then in the past several weeks, new vines [...]

I find that the days when I don’t do much of anything or go anywhere interesting to be the most challenging when I am trying to take photos for this blog… Actually, I kind of hate my lazy, hang-around-the-house days when it comes time to take/post a photo for the day. But that’s good. It’s [...]

Pretty in Pink

27Sep09

Theme: Pink Roses in the garden… I guess something has been relishing all of this rain. I really don’t generally like roses, but these really are so pretty and so very pink. My favorite photo is the 4th one- bottom, right. I know it isn’t the best shot technically, but I love the dream-like mood of the [...]

Fall’s arrival

23Sep09

I have 2 for today… Theme: Landscape Theme: Purple Today was the quintessential drizzly, dreary fall day. It complimented my melancholy mood, and I was looking forward to taking some shots in the lovely, subdued evening light.
