Joshua Tree 2014 – the GoPro version

Well.  I’m even shorter on words than usual with this post.  They didn’t take me.  :-}
But here’s what I can say:  Joshua Tree is sooooo beautiful.  And my husband is an artiste with that itty bitty GoPro camera.

+ 1 talented mom (she hand-crafted the beautiful bouquet & wreath of flowers!) 

= a truly lovely & magical evening spent together, exploring, and creating photographic images.

March Miscellany, part 1

Total randomness.

Beauty and bananas in our backyard (and yes, a few raindrops –woot!) The hot bucket is back in business. Lap swimming. This less-than-brilliant bird has insistently tried to enter the house by flying repeatedly into the windows.  All the windows.  All the time.  Needless to say, we will not be washing windows til this birdie gives up. Cyclamens are happy happy happy. Shooting happens. So does art. It’s that time of year again, when all the big male lizards from miles around come to visit our Lizzie.  This happens to be Clint (yes, they’re named:  Clint & ‘Lizabeth in honor of Swamp People) telling outside male to scram…

Last bits of March miscellany tomorrow …
