For One Moment - Little Snippets of my Life and Art...

Worked today on getting our Christmas cards done. I usually do a very artsy collage, but decided to go with fun pictures of the kids this time.

We wanted to go watch the shuttle tonight, but most of the day the chances weren't that great for it going up. Since we had a long drive to get there, we decided not to go, so of COURSE it went up! So I had to be content with capturing as it lit up the skies over the trees as it went up.

Ok, I'm going to try this out. I've created a new banner! Posting here as a picture to test how it looks...

Just a couple of shots I got tonight. Dropped Mariah off at her guitar lesson, and headed down to the closest lake to capture the sunset. There was too much cloud cover and it was too late to capture the big orange ball of the sun, but it had left the most beatiful glow to the sky. These were taken just 8 minutes apart.

Couldn't resist adding a shot of Stacey and Tigger. He is one BIG lovable kitty who has never met a person he didn't like. Took this one tonight as it was getting dark. Ran it through Virtual Photographer and Viola! I think I like it!

I do some group art swaps with other artists. Here is a card I've created for a storyline swap. We were each given a line to finish. Without knowing anyone else's lines, we were to finish our line and create a card to go with it. We will then print enough to swap with everyone and have a deck to shuffle and create stories with.

Tori wanted highlights the color of the sun, so we made an appointment with Michele and Tori came away with a beautiful golden look, and a sassy new cut that is a lot easier to care for and a lot cooler than the long hair she had. She loves her new look and I love that it looks so good no matter what she is doing!

It's been fun capturing the moon this week. Here is one taken at it's fullest. Harvest Moon, October 6, 2006

Found these guys basking in the sun at lunch time.

Just a quick catch today at lunchtime. It was pretty windy and I couldn't get any closer to it as it was sitting on a private dock. Hopefully he'll be back on a non-windy day and I can shoot him again.

Finally, finally FINALLY got a halfway decent shot of the moon. Took this one this evening.

Created a new background yesterday and couldn't wait to use it. Stacey loves our cat Tigger and this page really shows it.

All my babies are growing up. Took these in the last couple of weeks and it is hard to believe how much they have grown.

Pool time!

A bit of color...found on a rainy, dreary day...

....a couple of lovely little yellow flowers we found on our walk today.

we see the future in someones eyes. Through them we see the power that we hold... to meld someones life, to lead them and to guide them to be the best that they can be. This picture of Tori is one of my favorites from this past year. For one moment we see a glimpse of her determination and her sense of strength. May it serve her well as she travels through this life.
