Snow Sculptures
Yesterday, I went hunting for remaining snow sculptures as the winter nears its end, momentarily. Spring has begun to whisper in the wind ‘I’m very near, just a few more weeks and flowers will be bursting with joy and delight.’
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
Swinging into Spring with A.W.E.
Today, the core participants of the Artist Window Exhibit project met to discuss the May 1st start of the A.W.E. project. Artists and business owners partner to showcase the work of artists of western, Massachusetts. Lots of great ideas, great discussions flowed back and forth. The artists that were present at today’s meeting were assigned to businesses they each had thought about displaying their wonderful art. We all would love to see you through the month of May, 2009 to view the amazing talented artists of the area.
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.
Been Inspired……again!
For a little while I’ve laid down my ‘word document’ (modern contemporary version of ‘the pen’) regarding my screenplay, The Last Rose of Summer. Today, my inner landscape is leaping with anticipation to return writing my screenplay. I’m so glad because I’ve been frustrated not writing everyday. There are so many exciting writing ideas I have (according to me) that I would love to complete. In order to do so I need to write or the borders of the document will remain – empty. The canvass needs to be written upon. Today, is that day.
Thank you for stopping by – I await hearing from you. Looking forward to learn more about you.

Lots of Snow Is Here….WOW
Lots of soft, powdery textured snow arrived early Monday morning. I think around 10 inches. During the beginning of a snow storm I enjoy taking a ride in my car. I get this feeling of – survival mode, being in my auto-bubble as I ride along the street packed with snow. My little humble Chevy is fantastic in the snow. I just move along – never get stuck. If I don’t say so myself, I’m really a terrific driver, especially in a snow storm. It’s such a beautiful sight to see.
It would be wonderful to hear how you are doing. I always look forward to your comments. 
Woman with Plants – Your Thoughts…
Today has been a long day and I thought before I retire I wanted to share this photo I took a few years ago.
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.
Still Hoping…
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.
Oops! Getting Caught Up
I’ve been pretty busy with doing some things that needed catching up on – little everyday stuff. Now my work week has begun so not much photographing this week. I’m planning to do so at the end of the week.
Lovely Snow Landscape Filled the Valley
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.
