April Essay- after the storm

Each month I plan to take an afternoon or morning and photograph something different from what I would shoot in my everyday portrait business. I let what ever sparks my interest for that month be the subject. No year long calendar agenda! I have a feeling it will usually be nature related since that is where I seem to gravitate. This month we had a great thunder storm one evening, which went on into the night. The next morning water was on everything and the light on the scene was wonderful.

These are a few of the subjects I found in my own yard after the event. I tended to focused on the smaller rain drops. It amazes me how they can seem to defy gravity and stay on those petals and leaves. I did include one rainbow, I know, its cliche'. BUT I can never get over how really cool these are and how a storm can refract light like that. So in the essay it shall stay.

April 7th will be a big day

Look what's up

April 7 will be a very auspicious day.
Two important events will take place:
The new Bark website will have it’s coming out party on the World Wide Web. It will have an entirely different look with many more pictures and information. I am especially excited about the testimonial section. It will include a picture of the subject with the testimonial. It’s from all my photography so it is not only dogs, there are kids, parents, moms to be and maybe a bride might put her 2 cents in the mix. It was fun gathering these as well as reading what people came up with to say. Thank you everyone for taking the time to participate in this.

The Birthday Girl !

The second important event? It’s my Mom’s 84 Birthday. Like her daughter she believes birthdays are not just one day events and I know that 3 Luncheons are already in the works.

SABA Holiday Party

It was time for the 2nd annual SABA Holiday party. This year we decided to have it at someone’s house. The house we picked just happened to be mine. OK I really did volunteer. We figured we would have a potluck this year and at someone’s house it would be nice and cozy.
. Steve and I made Chill and there were savory and sweet dishes galore. The party was a great susees what a way to role in the second year of SABAhttp://www.presentingsmyrna.com/index.php?customernumber=796116937628761&pr=Arts_And_Culture

It’s time for the annual Bark Photography Holiday card picture. This year I choose Chance a lab puppy for the shot. He is a neighbor of mine and I have seen Chance grow since he was a wee little thing.
I wanted it to look like Chance was really up to something and had gotten really into the Christmas decorations. I got Steve to keep putting the Garland on Chance while he was being kept Chance occupied with little treats. I Think chance had a good old time.
