Mid-summer's Soire

{click on photo to enlarge image}
Being part of a larger picture, such as the Blogosphere, has created opportunities for interesting adventures. One of which is the challenges issued as far as types of photographs to capture, and another are the "get-togethers" planned by one or many. Tomorrow, Kendalee is hosting a mid-summer's picnic, and all are invited to attend. I will be out of town and will be "fashionably late" in attendance, but others will be right on time, I'm sure.

So I use this photograph I took while enjoying another part of my "job" as photographer, shooting high school dramatic productions, by way of replying to the invitation, and showcasing just one more way you can become involved with photography. This also models another creative outlet for the students, and is much more interesting than shooting portraits, in my opinion. I do photographs of the cast members, and a cast photo, but there's a whole different feel to this type of photo shoot. More energy and creativity, I think.

I hope to see you at the picnic, and back here. I will be gone on a little adventure in just a few minutes, returning Thursday evening. For those of you who will miss a Black and White post this Wednesday, don't worry. Next week will be worth waiting for.

OOhhh, I love that picture. The first thought that came to my mind, strange as it may seem, is "That would make a wonderful jigsaw puzzle!"

Thank you Sandy for accepting the invitation... I look forward to seeing you in your beautiful vintage outfit and the cake sounds absolutely delicious!!! Don't worry about being a little late - it's an all-day, all-night do so we'll still be around when you drop by and I can't wait to hear about your latest adventure... :)

It WOULD make a good jig saw puzzle:). Maybe I can offer that option in my sales pitch.

Happy Week- being home and loving photography

Roamin Meets the GPS- Stories from the Road Lisa, my favorite Curious Girl , created a wonderful idea for a week of "happy" posts. Share those things which make you happy, bring joy to your life, and generally fill you with happy thoughts (I do love the movie Hook , with Robin Williams). We are just returned from our fabulous 23-day, 5600 mile, 10 state, 4 time-zone adventure, and I am filled with happy thoughts today. I am also aware of the piles of laundry, the dirty car, the grocery shopping, and the weary body. Those are not the things I'll share today! Today it's about the joy of road-tripping. The miracle that we live in such a country that everywhere you go you see something to celebrate. I love driving down the road and seeing something new, or different, or unexpected. We drove for a very long time across the upper mid-west, while following signs for "Wall Drugs." Apparently this is a historic stop, originally a place for those who crossed the coun...

Celebrating 100 Posts - A Challenge

Yes, we are closing in on our 100th post . Truly amazing. Thank you for reading and participating, helping keep the ideas, words and photos flowing. In honor of this momentous occasion, let's have a party. A party where "100" is featured. Do not become concerned if an idea doesn't pop into your head right away. You have one week to come up with something which includes 100 . Think party, celebration and fun. Think creatively. Think challenge. Photography is about expressing yourself, and challenging yourself. Here's a real stretcher! Celebrate with us by posting a photo (or series) which depicts the number 100 in some way. Let me know if you're going to participate and I'll create a way for everyone to link to each other's pages - chuckling, laughing, crying and surprising. You'll be amazed what you see when you start looking. Still at a loss? Here is a non-exhaustive look at the number 100: 100 years ago (something nostalgic- there's wigg...

Here We Go...

Meet our Roaming Gnome. He's busy looking at the map and helping us get ready to begin our adventure across the northern part of the United States. We leave Friday morning, and our house is a total disaster as we decide what we need to take and what we can leave behind. It's a camping journey - tent camping. We have not done this in ages and are a bit nervous about it. But we're prepared: tent, ground cover, sleeping bags, camp stove, cooking tools, food, clothing (well, after the laundry is finished), maps, books, notebooks, camera gear, bug spray, camera gear, sunscreen, camera gear - you get the picture:). This little gnome caught my fancy. I do believe you recognize him from some Travelocity commercials, though I haven't compared them side-by-side. He came with a passport, and a little history of garden gnomes and their journeys. It seemed so appropriate to have one, as a garden gnome begins in the country, in the garden, and then takes a journey away from that saf...
