Usually fabulous ...sometimes a flop

One of those nights. Warm and calm on a blowing winter night. Great nights.

Yeah, so…I’ve been clean about a week and a half now.:) I eat a row at a time when I dive in…generally the entire package in 3-4 days time, so…we are on a roll I would say. I finally decided to start up some cardio again since I haven’t even though about working out for about 8 months.

Kinda sad, but it’s always a bit challenging to find color in Michigan in the winter. Of course there is a nice white canvas if we are lucky to have a fresh fluff of snow, otherwise…there is some brown mixed in.:) I suppose this applies mainly to us “country folk”, as there are acres and acres of field and no buildings.:) How awesome though to watch the snow wisp across the wide open spaces.

Love! Feels like cotton candy and frosting and all things happy and sugary despite the single digit temps!

Something desolate and yet powerful about this image to me. I was just thinking how it takes all the branches on this tree to fuel it’s nutrients…similar to people and all that…you know…

Haha, well…life is life and that’s just how it is. Profound, I know. I had a little fender bender with the itybidy. The first one I have ever had with an itybidy.:( I must say though, I love this car. No side airbag went off. I probably should’ve felt much worse about our little “incident” but…I’m getting used to climbing out the passenger side door.:)

Of course we all know dogs are my super duper love, but my heart melts at the site of most any animal. I say that, but..I suppose I don’t really get warm fuzzies at pet snakes. Animals just all have such expressions. I love how this horse is giving me that “what do you want lady?” look. Love to just wander around the country in the wide open space and photograph. Not that I am a wandering nomad or something, but it’s nice this time of year to have the time to just explore and breathe.

And this, well, just had to make me chuckle. I always have the pups with me when I’m shooting in studio seniors or older kids and families, and tonight was no exception. He sat at this girls feet while she was in this chair and just couldn’t wait for her to get out of it because he is convinced HE is supposed to be the one having his picture taken. Cracks me up every time. On another note, I am totally diggin this chair I just picked up!

Ha! Nice to just upload pics here of what I shoot most often and brings me so much joy. Kip is always my test subject so we tried out this new backdrop I picked up. Not sure on it. I used it and it worked alright, it absorbs a lot of light though, but whatever. We always have a good time goofing off. He loves to have his picture taken, unlike Lily, who is afraid of the camera still.:P

Woohoo! Here they are! The bag was my first project and then I made a matching shootsac cover!
