I've been a'travelin..

To Shreveport, LA for New Year's, as you may recall, and recently to New Orleans for Mardi Gras (though I actually missed the Fat Tuesday finale :( ) I took approximately 2 billion pictures in Shreveport and I'll have those posted on my Flickr soon - but here's a taste:

Downtown, New and Old

One of the many murals throughout Shreveport

As for New Orleans, I decided to keep my camera at home for two reasons: 1) didn't want to have to worry about it all the time and 2) miss things because I was busy taking pictures and not taking in the scenery. This doesn't mean there won't be pictures and blog posts coming, however - all the throws (and memories) deserve their own blog post.

On a more somber note, my sympathies to the families affected in the shooting Tuesday. How tragic.

How deep is your love, how deep is your love...?

I just thought I'd share what's been stuck in my head for the last 24 hours at least.



I never would have listened to any of the BeeGees stuff if it hadn't have been for this man. Thanks, John Frusciante...I think.

This is why the mockingbirds hate my cat.

While I was taking photographs this afternoon, I glance up and catch this view - Bobby's in the bird bath, casually taking a drink and scoping out the scenery. I used to wonder why I never saw any birds actually use that thing and now I know!


Bobby's never very far when I'm taking pictures - he seems to think that if I'm not taking them of him, then I need his supervision. His very strict attention, as you can see.

I feel like I've been in front of the computer all day, but I've actually been very productive today - hooray! I've got new jewelry shots (and some cool photos in general), found some more generous souls who will mail out my business cards, added to my Facebook page so all my friends can see my work, and I've got a Facebook fan page now too!

Edit: Facebook ate my fan page :*( I'll post when I get it back!

Once upon a time...

I was strictly a meat-and-potatoes gal. Heaven, to me, was a 4-oz filet mignon with a loaded baked potato. Nowadays however, this is my manna:
I love roadside stands! One kind gentleman gave me all those mini bell peppers cause they were going soft...think of all the stirfrys and soup I'll be making! I'm drooling now.

So on that note, do your town and yourself a favor, and shop local produce while you still can!
