I could feel the air changing so I seized the moment to capture more snow scuptures near where I live. The other day I showed the ‘Snow Dog.’ It was resting on the pavement in a parking lot and I photographed it as the dog was sleeping.  Tell me what you see – a dog, a mountain lion, a cheetah…..I would love to know!  Thank you for dropping by and I always look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.  Susan

As always, I look forward to your responses and love hearing about what’s going on in your lives. Thank you for coming by – Susan.

Thank you for stopping by – I await hearing from you. Looking forward to learn more about you.

A blue lagoon lay still as a sleeping barn reflects itself unknowingly.  The barn’s reflection beckons you to ponder its point of view.

It would be wonderful to hear how you are doing. I always look forward to your comments.

A neighbor of mine had a small greenhouse in the back of her home. She wanted to show me her beautiful plants. I followed her as she walked to the back of her house. There, resting on the lawn was this quaint greenhouse. I was very impressed. She went inside and I decided to photograph her while she was pruning her plants. I loved the way the glass muted her face.

Please let me know your response to Woman with Plants – I’ll be looking forward to your comments. Thank you so much for coming by today.

Tomorrow I have another photo shoot of the mayoral candidate. I’m looking forward to creating interesting images. Tonight I’m quite tired after a long day of putting numbers together for record keeping of my photography business.

I’m so delighted you came by – I always look forward to hearing from you. Please leave a comment if you wish. Good night.

Did take my camera along, took some images  – so amazing to me the glorious change snow creates.  I spent around two hours driving all over watching the snow cover all that it touches.  For me, the best time to photograph is during the snow storm – that’s my favorite time to go out.

Someone once told me that whatever season you were born in – tends to be your favorite time of year.  My birthday is in December and actually Winter is my favorite season. Does that statement ring true for you?  I’d be interested in your response.

Thanks for dropping by.

Shimmering Barn.   A blue lagoon lay still as a sleeping barn reflects itself unknowingly.  The barn’s reflection beckons you to ponder its point of view.

Please join us Wednesday evening, 7:pm est. at the wonderful Welcome Spring Vast Trunk Show.

Check out the other exciting photographs in my etsy shop. I’m so excited about being part of the Vast Trunk Show. An amazing group of people who are participating.  Hope you can join us.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) I will share with you my Arcade portal. I’m so delighted in how it looks. It’s a great place to showcase my photographs both as prints, mugs, tiles and more from various shops.  This way you can see them all rather than going shop to shop. It’s a one-stop-shop. Looking forward to seeing you there.

It’s been a very busy day and rather chilly (windy) so I’m going to relax for the rest of the evening. Thank you for coming by.  See you tomorrow.    Susan

The ususal appointments to go to, shopping , cleaning and since I live nearly 3 hours drive, each way, and work at my regular job and focus expanding my photography business.  All that I had to do didn’t leave me with “free time” to attend to writing my blog.

Another impending medical occurrence is that I will need hip and knee replacement surgery sometime this year. I have an appointment with the surgeon in March to discuss which part will be operated on first.  I’m hoping this will happen very early May.  There is a long recuperation period and I would prefer that the surgery does not happen during the winter months.  All around, it would be far easier to recuperate from limb surgery during spring and summer.

I’ve had both my shoulders operated on and I can tell you from experience that life is harder all around during the winter months.

Eventually, I will be the bionic woman – both knees and hips will ultimately be replaced.

In all of this I’ve had to adjust how to continue to build my photography business that I love doing because my body is changing dramatically and I need to change how I am doing things.

I’m just wanting to explain to you my absence from keeping up with my posts.  Well, now, today I’ve jumped into bringing my shops more up-to-date.  I’ve loaded up additional images for selling.

I would love to sell my large framed images – 11×14″ framed work and the only way that can happen is by displaying their availability in my various shops – etsy shop, zazzle and design style guide.  My biggest selling photographs are now in those shops.  Hope you stop by and take a look.

Peace and Serenity as Spring Unfolds

You can really use this postage in the United States.  This has my image on it.

I do hope you visit my zazzle shop.  Thank you for coming by.  See you tomorrow with another post.

I pass this enchanting landscape nearly everyday and seized the moment to photograph its charm. Hope you are enjoying the view.

Spring is is on its way as remnants of winter remain – every so briefly. It beckoned me to photograph its beauty. What is your response?

~~ Susan Elkin

This image is part of a series I did during the early morning hours. I was always intrigued with this factory landscape and its water reflection greatly enhanced its wonder. Tell me your thoughts. Thank you.

I was indoors shooting through double paneled glass windows that helped give an austere effect along with all the other elements of nature.
