We cleaned out our room finally

Ah the joys of remodelling. Some day I hope to be done with remodelling.  We are not tempermentally oriented that way.  Some people love it.  I like my creativity in other areas.  But while we have the room cleaned out, I took the opportunity yesterday to take some pictures of Miranda.  She hates to hold still, but I love to take photos anyway.

 

Been busy

I finished my online class this week.  It was fun, but it is also nice to have completed it successfully.  Now I have to concentrate on writing the content for the course itself.  It is good to be busy, but difficult as well.  As far as photography is concerned, I haven’t done a lot but I did have the chance to do a newborn the other day which was a lot of fun.  He has a two year old sister as well and it reminded me of when Ethan was born.  How fast the years fly by when you look back.  There are difficult times at every age which you wish would fly by but there are so many beautiful moments as well.  Those are the ones I remember most.

Still cold

I just read about the northern most town in the world somewhere in Norway I think.  A thousand or so people people live there.  This month they had their first peek at the sun in nearly 5 months.  They have five months of night a year.  It makes me feel not so bad about living in Randolph.  True, it is March and we are still inches deep in snow and slush and ice which will soon be muck.  But still, we often have blue skies above, and I can use the light from the window to take photos of tulips I buy in the supermarket.

The people who live in that Norwegian town say they love it there.  It is the best place to live in the world.  And who’s to argue.  It’s all a matter of perspective after all.  I suspect photographers get used to night photography.

Frost

By February, the snow and cold seem to wear a little on the mind and soul, as if it will never thaw. But every now and then, even though it still cold, if we look around, we can find beauty even in the cold.

The frost has been lovely.  It almost looks like it has snowed, but it is just the crystals formed through the fog.

Twelve days

It may be difficult to keep up with a blog. somehow I think I feel that I have to say something momentous.  But then, the good thing about a blog is that I don’t really.  I haven’t had much time to take many pictures.  I started an online course in facilitating online courses this week.  So far so good.  It’s kind of fun.

Here is Ethan in an experimental window light session in jammies.  Have a good week.

Flowers

When it is cold outside and February seems too far from spring, the grocery stores begin to carry tulips.

The yellow cheers me up.  Enjoy!

Photos

I had the opportunity recently to do something I hadn’t done before.  I took some photos of a bride in her wedding dress.  She wanted photos outside which provided the challenge of finding a place where she wouldn’t be knee deep in snow or muck. Here are a few of the pics.

Hello world!

This is my first blog. I am excited about the propect of combining writing with photography.  Iwill try to post at least once a week.  We shall see what mysteries unfold.
