three things about summer that make me smile...

1. sprinklers.

2. popsicles... especially the ones from the truck singing that amazing tune.

3. the sound of a breeze blowing through tall grass.







peace.

three things i love about my dad...



1. he carried me on his shoulders whenever i couldn't go anymore...even if he knew I was faking it and just wanted to be carried.

2. he allowed me to believe that anything was possible.

3. seeing him smile from behind while riding in the car listening to breakfast with the Beatles.


it has been 14 years since my dad died, i think i might miss him more today then ever.

the image above is an ode to him through leah and her daddy.


peace.

where have I been...?

I cannot believe how long it has been since I last posted! I was on such a roll too, but man how life gets in the the way...please forgive me I am back now and ready to party!

let me catch you up on a few things...

first.
Leah (my daughter) was badly burned by a humidifier, second degree burns down her back. I am not sure who cried more her or me, cause I just cannot take it when my babies are hurting and there is nothing I can do about it! She is healed up now I dont even think she will scar after using a good amount of Aloe and a hourly application of "Country Comfort Herbal Savvy".

second.
I have officially switched teams and am now running all mac, which may take a bit of time to get used to but man this team is sooo much prettier than the balding white guy team I was on before! (no offense to PC). I now have a shiny 24" screen looking at me with 1 Terabyte of hard drive! Can you even believe how quickly things change? We went from jaw dropping at a gig now we are at a Terabyte. for all the techies out there shaking your head, please bear with my shock and awe...I am an artist remember!

third.
I am now a Canon shooter. I just received the Canon 5D with a collection of fun lenses and such in the mail and man am I in-love! I bought my favorite lens from the film days a 50mm and I feel like I am home now. I cannot stop taking pics of anything and everything!

fourth.
just got back from a trip to Oregon to sit on the river with my mom and brothers. It was a gift that I really needed!
we rode horses, went fishing and sat by the river all day long! I even jumped off of a 35 foot bridge to the river below just to show my brothers that I could... and I can! I will have pics to share very soon!

fifth.
the 9th was my birthday. Don't really know what to say about that. whatever.

okay that is about it I will have some pics to share with you in the next few days, some of Tracy's wedding, some of the river and a ton of the kids playing!

peace.
