Early Saturday Morning

This morning started early for me. I'm not at ALL a morning person but you sure do miss out on beautiful sunrises if you sleep in. 

There is just something I love about black and white.

The rest of my day I spent propagating thyme to add to my window sill herb garden. So far I have rosemary, parsley, basil and cilantro already planted. I'm trying to grow garlic from a clove that sprouted...but not sure how that's going to turn out. 

My handsome boys were enjoying the sunshine coming in the window. 

I can't tell you how many times I have checked my flower beds to see if anything is coming up. Today I finally noticed my sedum!!!!! Spring is finally starting to show.

Magical Morning

There aren't going to be many mornings like this left because spring will soon be here! There is something magical when everything is covered in little ice crystals.

Success!

I have to say that tonight couldn't have gone any better. My mom and I arrived at Studio 213 and went right to work. 

Here is my space before....

And here is everything set up! It turned out amazing :) 

Please stop in if you're in the area and browse the many local artists that have displays.

New Adventure

Tomorrow will begin a new adventure for me. I will be renting a 4 'x 5' space to display and sell my photography! It will be located in Studio 213 in downtown Appleton, WI. The studio has many local artists work so if you are ever in the area, please stop in!! Selling my photography to the public has been a dream of mine for a long time and I can't believe it's finally happening.

I will make sure to post pictures tomorrow once I have everything set up. Wish me luck!!

Since spring isn't here yet, I thought I'd post a beautiful iris to at least get us in the spring frame of mind :)

Black and White

As I spent tonight going through all my old photos...I couldn't help but pull some aside. You'd think with it being winter that black and white would be the last thing I'd want to see! I think some images are just meant to be without color. Here are some I played around with tonight. Enjoy!

Frosty morning

These types of mornings are my favorite...at least in winter that is. Everything just seems a little bit magical.

The young eagle came back to visit the other day. I noticed he has a band on his leg which means I'm assuming they are being tracked. I have only been able to count two young ones...not sure if there are others.

Winter Wonderland Part 2

I just can't stop taking photos of the eagles and ducks! So thankful I braved the bitter cold temperatures today. I got some amazing images!!!!
