Last photo of the week for 2008...Happy New Years!!

Well, we made it a whole year!! I have posted app. 52 photos this year and I hope that you have found something in at least one or two that inspired you or made you smile. Some of them are on this site and others are here. This last photo of the week was taken yesterday on the slopes of Boreal. I haven't skied in many, many years and it was such a thrill to "barrel" down the hills (not very graceful, I may add). I love that this young kid had this on his snowboard. I am by no means pushing religion on anyone so please take no offense.. I wish all of you a Happy New Year! Take care, be kind, and remember to try to find the positive out of the negative... xoxo

Merry Christmas

I almost forgot to post this week, having been super busy getting everything ready for the "big man's" arrival. I hope that this Christmas finds all of you healthy, connected, and loved. xoxo

When I was little, my dad would drive us past the cemeteries in Daly City and bet us $100 that we wouldn't be able to walk through there at night. He was only teasing, but the thought would terrify me. As I got older, the cemetery became a place for me and my friends to hang out. We liked the solitude and the peacefulness.
Yesterday my 13 yr old son and I headed out in the rain to photograph some of the statues. He was a little nervous about being there, having seen a few zombie movies in the past. For his sake, we kept it to a short visit and kept the motor running in the car just in case...

photo of the week

This is one spirited young girl who won my heart in about 2 seconds flat. She is the sweetest baby ever and was so well behaved. She had some friends with her, 2 cats and a pretty good sized lizard and they all got along. The cats weren't very cooperative (hah, go figure!) but she was just the best...

open studios

Today was the last day for the Open Studios event in Pacifica. I can not tell you how great it was to be among the many talented artists that were showing their stuff there. I was terrified to put my stuff on the walls let alone sit there all weekend and watch people look at it (or ignore it, not sure which would be worse). Everyone was very supportive and it was a great atmosphere to have this as my first big outing. I even sold a few pieces and a few bags! My dad and brother came to see me and my art and that was awesome! My niece was there too, which was really cool. Also, my hubby and boys were there on the first night and a few of my buds came as well..I am feeling very blessed right now.

photo of the week

This past Sunday I did some pet and family photography at Coastside Critters in Pacifica. This little guy, TK --aka the "traveling salesman"-- was my first client. He earned his nickname from me because everytime he was put into his "spot" to be photographed by the time I put my camera to my eye he was gone! That is my hand in the photo holding him, and yes, he isn't the handsomest dog on the block I know, but ya gotta love the little guy anyway!!

photo of the week

Hi, last week I went to Occidental with a gal friend of mine and we had a nice drive to Bodega Bay where "the Birds" was filmed. This is the church where the birds attacked people and behind it is the school. The other photo was taken down by the water, a fisherman dumped some chum into the water and the birds were in a frenzy! A little unsettling.....
