A Garden Variety - Positronic Butterfly

Well life is getting back to normal for us. We now have a child who is one year old and walking every where! Lots of company for us this month and some traveling. I need a vacation though to catch up from our vacation.

There is a store over in Berkeley that I love to visit. It's a reclamation center that has got the most interesting stuff from old windows to photos, books, bathtubs and light bulbs. The yard of Urban Ore is another one of those places that is just beyond interesting. Like I said there are bathtubs, door and windows out in the yard but growing in between all of these things are different types of flowers along with, what I think are, raspberries. Positronic Butterfly was taken at Urban Ore and, I must say, I was very happy with this find of a flower. I felt this image had a lot of life in it and it was a lot of fun!

Hello!

So I missed last weeks posting...like I thought I was going to. It is amazing though how doing something on a weekly basis my week was kinda thrown off by not doing something I am used to doing. We have had company in town for my son's first birthday and then this coming weekend we are heading to Phoenix for even more celebrating! It has been really nice having people around and getting to do things that typically we don't do but it also nice to have my house back to normal...well almost normal. Myles has his first fever and so instead of working on images I have been laying on the couch holding my boy.

I talked a few weeks ago about Figuring it out and I wanted to show a few more images that I have added texture too. Both of these are like the Monkey Tail image, I have been looking at them forever and thinking about how to use them. Adding a texture to them really completed them, I think. I wish that there was more to say about that cause I kinda feel like that is too simple of an answer...but currently that is it.

Holy awesome camera strap!

I totally found a camera strap I want! I was reading another photographs woes of ordering a bad camera strap and someone suggested this Black Rapid camera strap for women. When I find stuff this awesome I just have to tell you guys about it! Looking at the site I was just like eh, another strap but then I watched the video and in the last minute I was completely sold, without actually buying it...but I hope to.

I showed my husband and he said I was giving him the look of "this is freaking awesome, what is wrong with you!?" So anyhow here is the link and I would suggest checking it out. If you feel super generous you can send one on over this way as well...ya know since I was the who pointed you in the right direction.

The next three weeks for me are gonna be packed with visitors, two birthday parties for my son who will be turning one year old and traveling to Phoenix (one of his parties will be down there.) So I am not 100% positive that I will have my regular Wednesday posts.

Sneak Peak of Julian

Julian is a fun loving 21 month old and was such a fun kid to photograph. He was just a bundle of energy running from toy to toy showing me all of the fun things he has. He had so many fun toys that I had to get a few of them for my own son.
