Hi again. It's Friday and time for our Project 52 Weeks' blog post. Repetition. That's this week's challenge as set forth by the Beautiful Beasties Network. We've really been trying to play by the rules here but this week we may have taken more than a little creative liberty. Last weekend we saw our first tulips poke their happy green sprouts above the soil and temperatures rose to 75. Winter coats, boots and sweaters all went back into storage. I even started applying suntan lotion on my hikes around the lake with the critters.Monday came. And with it a dramatic REPETITION of Winter. Mimi was not amused by my interpretation. I'm so inspired each week by the ...
It's Friday, and once again it's time for the Beautiful Beasties Network's 52 Weeks' Challenge. This week's theme is: CIRCLES. And for a good portion of the week we were definitely running around in circles searching for hula-hoops + frisbee's. Anything round. Our favorite neighbor, "Jake-Boy" visited us while his parents escaped the cold for a few days. About Jake I could easily say: THE BUDDHA WEARS FUR! I looked down at him one morning and realized that he had given me the answer to our challenge each morning of his visit upon awakening. He was not impressed with our leisurely breakfast routine. Here is Jake with his CIRCLE OF LIFE. ...
Hi Again! This week's post is coming to you one more time DIRECT from the North Pole! According to the Chicago Tribune on Tuesday: "Chicago’s 73.4 inches of snow so far this season, which the weather service counts as autumn through spring, stands at the fourth-most since 1884. That’s slightly less than during 1969-70, which saw 77 inches. The only two years above those were in 1977-78 at 82.3 inches, and in 1978-79 at 89.7 inches total."By mid-day Wednesday we were at 75.2 inches! Our challenge for this week was to shoot action, and I have to admit that I cheated. Just a little. I was traveling last week, so I had to dive into my archives to pull up ...

One of the most rewarding activities I do as a photographer (and trust me, they are ALL rewarding! ) is capturing images of the hopeful hearts cared for by animal rescue organizations. In my previous life I was one of the founding members of Happy Tails Acapulco, a small animal welfare association whose mission was to create a Better World for the Animals living in that city. I know first-hand the deep need each abandoned animal has for a second chance at love and life, and how important compelling photos are in opening the hearts of potential adopters. As a new member of Hearts Speak, I am honored to be a part of this growing international network of compassionate artists helping ...
