My Left Foot...
I created MY SHOE TREE yard art - old shoes hanging on my ficus tree. The neighbors stop and stare - many take photos. One lady asked me if these shoes were for sale - ha ha!

Spring Graduation
Spring has definitely arrived here in Elgin, IL. The trees are filled with blossoms. I noticed these trees while on my morning run. I raced back to the hotel to pick up my camera.
I'm super excited to be here for my granddaughter, Emily's graduation party.
Here she is showing off her bearded dragon Kevin.
Only 3 years before Abby follows in Emily's footsteps.
The ceremony and party are at 3:30PM today. I can hardly wait!

Dude!
I enjoyed an afternoon at The Conservancy of Southwest Florida. I was working with a new Nikkor AF-S micro 40mm 1:28g lens for my camera. I'm beginning to get the hang of it!
This little dude (anole) was moving so fast, that I was surprised to find that I actually captured him!

Who was that guy...
I was out and about yesterday experimenting with the news lens I bought for my camera. (AF-S Micro Nikkor 40mm 1:2.8G). Richard and I were stopped in traffic when a Harley Davidson rider pulled up next to us. I rolled down my window and asked if I could take his picture for a project I'm working on - he smiled OK. I snapped away and before I had a chance to ask his name, the light changed and he was long gone!

Pop!

Dolls, dolls and more dolls...
I love making dolls. Working with paper clay is one of the materials I use and is the base for these two little sweet things.
I had the honor recently of being published in Art Doll Quarterly.
This is my first effort making dolls in this fashion (notching out a space for legs and attaching with wire). It was a learning experience for sure! My holes on the crotch area and legs didn't match up as well as they should; unintended holes made with the wire trying to attach the limbs - it was a bit frustrating...
Hat and Crown made from assorted papers. (Don't even ask how many tries it took before the tricorner hat fit!) These dolls are quite small - measuring approximately 5" tall.
