summer days

WOW I can't believe how long it's been since I last posted. It's been a busy summer and I struggle to accomplish all I want/hope to do, blog posting included. I'm grateful you don't give up on me though, and that you continue coming back to see what I've been up to.


Let's see... along with Wings of Wonder in Independence, Oregon, what have you missed in the past month – Summer road trips to the beach,

magnificent Great Blue Heron in Newport, Oregon,


fun at the aquarium, watching the pelicans in Crescent City, CA (such amazing birds!)






dragonflies on local walks,
processing photos,

art with grand kids,
a bit of painting, and a fun visit with Bernie --PLEASE check out her site and consider donating to help her save the lives of so many dogs who would be killed without her help! While Bernie was here, we worked on a new venture involving licensing and signing with a company to produce my own product line. Bernie is already signed with them, and was so encouraging and helpful as I worked toward that same goal.

Below: books that we made while she was here. Bernie's on the right and mine on the left:
 So very exciting... I don't have all the details yet, but I'll spill the beans as soon as I can!
Wishing you days filled with warmth and creativity.

Always so grateful that you share your photos with us as they are so beautiful. I have missed seeing them. My friend Marla was up a couple of weekends ago and showed me the book she won from you and it is gorgeous. Wish you were teaching some classes in Indiana. Love your work and thanks for sharing your summer memories.

Oh DJ ... I'm so glad to see a post here today. I think of you almost every day when I walk Max down to and around the little park lake two blocks away. I picked up a couple feathers (one is pretty big) that I think are from the resident Great Blue Heron and several white ones that must be from either the Great White Egret or one of the Snowy Egrets. And mallard feathers ... with blue! One day I saw a baby Green Heron! He still had that fluffy fuzz on the top of his head. And Mom and Pop were in a nearby tree keeping watch. So much fun!
