Photography moment
Quote of the day… source forgotten already. CREATIVITY: Giving yourself permission to make mistakes. ARTISTRY: Knowing which mistakes to toss in the can.
My artistry was all last night. Some design ideas came together. Today, I’ve just done some production work.
The structure of my days is imposed by Quentin’s school hours. No school this week. Sunday was St. Valentine’s day. (I apologize for the full throated whine here.) Monday was President’s day. I noticed when the mail truck didn’t materialize. Today is Shrove Tuesday, better known as Mardi Gras. The temps were near freezing this morning with a bright blue sky so it should have been a lovely celebration. Tara called to ask me to take photos of them for passports. I got paid for my “art” by them taking me out to eat at a little eatery here.
Carlo’s letters have said, “no one came, no one called.” Today, I did get one call. Tara called wondering if I’d accidentally picked up their debit card at the restaurant. They were at the movie theater, planning to take in Avatar, I beleive. I asked them to get in touch and let me know if they found it. (No, I didn’t pick up their debit card.) I’ve called and gotten answering machines several times.
It’s been a sewing and reading and following the stock market sort of day. None of my buy orders executed. The market went bounding upward. Probably tomorrow it’ll be down. I’m happy to have a good bit of my assets in cash with all the volatility now.
Enough piecing of fabric already! So tonight, I’ll just post photos.
First an iconic Christmas shot. This would work as a Christmas card or a gift tag, wouldn’t it? Taken Christmas morning, waiting for Tara’s to arrive.

The kids are allright.waiting for a funny fieldtrip.The picture of the egret is good…I think I was there…? Hope that Tara’s card was found,otherwise they always can get a new one,but its anoying to loose it and go to the bank to apply for a new one.
