Ok – so I’m giving up on trying to organize posts by subject – and will just do it by season at least for a while. There are lots of posts with just a few photos lined up – and at the rate I’m going – I may never get enough photos for an entire post dedicated to a specific topic.
So – here are some of the wonderful fall scenes I’ve photographed over the years

Ok – so I’m giving up on trying to organize posts by type of flower – and will just do it by season at least for a while. There are lots of posts with just a few photos lined up – and at the rate I’m going – I may never get enough photos for an entire post dedicated to a specific type of flower.
So – here are some of the wonderful spring wildflowers I’ve photographed over the years

I created this still life with other participants at a workshop with Karen Burns and Marie Otero. We started out with the sewing tools – added what looked like a handmade stuffed rabbit carrying a butterfly net. And then we added the butterflies, and some flowers. Rearranged things more than a few times, to finally create this adorable scene. This was one of the workshops that has inspired me to create still life photographs of my own.
