Photography Lesson - Angle of Light







Since it was sunny, I asked 5th and 6th graders to bring in their cameras and we studied how the angle of light source affects photos.

Though all they had at their disposal was the school grounds, they did some amazing work - and learned to look at objects in a different light (pardon the pun!).

The white kale was taken between classes at a local nursery while I talked with the Event Coordinator hoping to get a photo/field trip to the nursery later this year!!!

Thinking of Roses



(Hint, Hint!)

And of rosy colors...

A New Bag of Color


Valentine's Day is just a few days away!

As lovely as it would be to find a dozen red roses on my doorstep, or a fancy package tied up with gilded ribbon... sometimes I need to nudge my hubby along - give him a little hint.

P.S. Sometimes I even need to buy it, then hand it to him to wrap...

P.P.S. Sometimes he actually never knows about it...

However your Valentine comes, I hope it is full of Color!

Take a peek here for details on my latest BAG OF COLOR

Another Snow Day




Snow falling and falling
Schools closed
Streets filled with laughing families
Sleds everywhere

We walked downtown
The world silent and beautiful
Coffee Houses packed, windows steamy

Happy Beading!

Old Boat







An old boat washed ashore
Crusty, decrepit, ruin
But oh, what gorgeous color!



What stories could she tell?
What treasures has she carried?
