Ahhh...this Friday is officially the first day of summer, yay!  I LOVE this time of year since it means more time spent at the shore.  The smell of suntain lotion in the air, the beautiful blue ocean, seagulls flying overhead...I love it.  I'm planning on a week-long vacation with some family at the Jersey shore in August and I CAN'T WAIT!!  I think I'll be taking pictures the whole time...after I get some quality chillin-beach time in of course.  :)  This is an old pic above but I finally got around to editing it...I went back to my archives to see what I could find that felt "summery."  I'm calling this one "Sand in My Toes."  It's now available on my shop here... "Beach Umbrella Photograph - Sand in My Toes"

Have a great day!

I've been looking at so many flower photos the past couple months and although I LOVE them, I need a bit of a break.  Soooo....here's a new bird on wire print.  If you follow my work, you know it's pretty rare for me to tone down the color in an image this much but once in a while some subdued, neutral tones are a nice change. 

I'm totally drawing a blank for a clever title on this one...any ideas??  I'd love to hear them!  Feel free to share your idea in the comments here or on my Facebook page.  For now I'm just calling this print "On a Wire" on my Etsy shop but I really want to change it.

Thanks, can't wait to hear your ideas!

UPDATE: I decided on "Music Notes" for the title of this print because the birds on the wires really remind me of music notes!  My family is pretty musical so I'm used to seeing piano song music.  :)

Oh boy did I have FUN shooting all the tulips blooming around me this year!  They're finally dying here but now I've got some neat shots to enjoy forever.  I also had a TON of fun editing the photos above and adding some bright punches of color to them.  What do ya think?  I love tulips so much I wish they bloomed all year long, I don't think I'd ever get tired of shooting them!

Three of the four tulip prints here are available on my shop, use the links below to see them:

Vivacious - Top left, blue and orange

Love's Own Hue - Top right, red tulips

Still I Rise - Bottom right, purple print

My all-time FAVORITE flower has always been the tulip and right now I'm in heaven since the tulips are blooming everywhere.  I was out yesterday shooting them and have plans to get out as much as I can this week with my camera to find more!  I hope you enjoy this new print of mine, I'm calling it "Pretty in Pink."

As some of you may recall from one of my posts back in December, I put a bird feeder in my back yard with the intent on taking some bid pics.  It's definitely harder than I thought it would be...the birds fly in and out so fast it's been tough capturing them.  Luckily, I caught this cute little Tufted Tiftmouse bird while he sat for a minute on the top of one of my feeders. 

What I would LOVE to capture is a shot of a red cardinal in the snow.  We've had some snow here lately and when I see the red cardinals out there, it looks like a greeting card or something...so pretty.  If I ever get lucky enough to get that shot, I'll definitely be posting it here.  (fingers crossed)

This new bird print is available on my shop, "Tufted Titmouse"
