April was actually a really busy month for me - in Florida, it pretty much wraps up the art festival season, so I had one final push before the summer. Anyway, I have big news! My main ... http://shades-of-green.us/blog/2009/05/i-like-to-move-it-move-it/ I was honored to have my photo "The View from Here" featured by Cricket of Just Three Things fame in her treasury "...ghosts be here...". I love the concept of her treasury - her overall eerie feeling was perfectly articulated and I was really excited to be included amongst such ... http://shades-of-green.us/blog/2009/03/treasury-west/ What better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day than with a photo of some pretty oriental lamps I took at our local sushi house? I'd like to thank Michelle of Nature Manipulated for featuring my photo (black and white rosary) in her spotlight of black and white photos from Artfire. I ... http://shades-of-green.us/blog/2009/03/all-the-snakes-from-ireland/ It's said that art imitates life, and recently I've really found that to be true.

I keep wanting to do some urban photography, but lately I've felt a pull toward natural things. Sometimes we have control over what we create, but other times the soul will lead us on its own path. http://shades-of-green.us/blog/2009/02/in-the-neighborhood/ I was honored to be chosen by fragiacomoglassart for a gorgeous treasury inspired by the color pink. Thanks, fragiacomoglassart! http://shades-of-green.us/blog/2009/02/treasury-alert/ I haven't posted in over a week! I know that I've barely started keeping this blog, but it already feels routine - I've been aching for just enough time to post a few recent photos. http://shades-of-green.us/blog/2009/02/overdue/ I always thought it was amusing to see bushes and trees growing into fences - it was like Nature was thumbing her nose at manmade boundaries. This fence was completely inundated with plant life. It even looked like the bushes and vines were fighting each other just to get at ... http://shades-of-green.us/blog/2009/02/nature-2-fence-0/ In the tough economic times, I find myself changing in interesting ways. Whereas I used to go out to the movies, I now save my money and stay at home playing board games with friends.
