Just a peek…

November 26, 2009

I want to thank Amy. She braved 34 degree weather and cold water and tall grass because she trusted my visions. I can’t wait for the shoot we’re going to do with big brother and then when baby W arrives!!! The excitement is building.

Where I Like to Learn….

November 2, 2009

So we have this contest at work. I’m thinking about entering. It’s a photography contest. The topic is where I like to learn. My cube-mate and I scoured over my blog and chose a photo. I can submit up to 4 photos, but this particular one struck both of us. There are rules I have to follow. So, before I divulge which pic I chose (maybe more, who knows), I’m going to read over the rules one more time.

More news at 11. (Or whenever your local station provides it) :-)
