A Peaceful Diversion
After school yesterday, my daughter and I went to town to run a few errands. Of course you could guess what the stores were like, this being two days before Thanksgiving and all... madness. So to take my mind off the crowds and busy days ahead, I stopped off for a few moments of R&R at a nature preserve located nearby. It was just what we needed.

Monday Video
I've been wanting to show you this video, it's about Kathleen Connally, an artist that lives in Pennsylvania. I think her work is simply lovely and I love how the pictures transport me to a place that feels hauntingly familiar, even though I've never been to her area of the country before. I love how she's tied her feelings about growth and development into the work she does... it gives a sense of purpose to the whole thing... some sort of meaning behind taking beautiful shots. I hope you enjoy this Walkthru as much as I did! Happy Monday!A Walkthru with Kathleen Connally from squiggleboo

Second Cuts
In photographing my quilts, lately I've been interested in "staging" them so that the whole quilt is not shown show-and-tell style, yet the viewer is able to get an idea of the flavor of the quilt. I often take many pictures of a quilt and show the one I like the best here. Today, I revisited my files and thought these second-cuts were worth showing as well. Enjoy!
