IS IT SPRING YET?










I guess we have about 2 or 3 more loooooooong months of winter left.....My friends in LA and SF say its still raining......and I am still sitting here in Oregon surrounded by snow...
I thought I would turn my vision to spring time....create a little spring with my camera....and lift my own spirits. The sun came out this lovely day (it was only 33 degrees....just enough to melt the snow from the roof and create this lovely effect in the background of the photos..snow dripping off the roof...

My husband is always asking "why are you shooting that?" and, his favorite comment: Why don't you put a horse in that photo?" If there isn't a horse in it..he doesn't want to see it.

Another thing I do to lift my spirits is to mini decorate...change things around. Perhaps a new bright white pillow, a plant, a painting. And, inspired by Katie Stephenson of art wall online I decided to try a tiny corner of wall in my living room. A miniature gallery.

Now, my husband, the horse lover, is not overly fond of Modern Art. I love 1960s abstract paintings...and so while he is out of the house...I scurry around and hang up some of my photos...in the lovely frames he makes...and I sneak one or two of my modern art paintings....into the mix.....I love love love Danish Modern mid-century furniture....while my husband loves early cowboy....so while the cowboy is away, this gal is redecorating......

So far he hasn't said one word.....but just in case......I'm pretending this is temporary for a photoshoot...and hoping...he doesn't notice...

And, if all else fails..well...I guess I can always put a horse in it!
