Still hoping to photograph the amazing diamonds hanging from the branches that I saw last week. It’s been quite warm recently, but I heard snow is coming on Sunday. Perhaps that maybe another opportunity to photograph the jewels again.

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.

Our area of Massachusetts was blanketed with a magical layer of heavy, wet snow.  I love getting into my car and driving along the farm roads in the towns near where I live.

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.

I know I’ve been missing for a loooooong time in blog writing action – I apologize – there’s been a lot going on. My twin brother has been very ill from complications with his brittle diabetes.  My 97 year old mom was diagnosed with breast cancer.  She did have surgery and it was a success.  There was much to attend to in helping them with the dailiness of living.

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.
