Texture

I love textures! Sometimes I add texture, sometimes it is already there. Texture is everywhere in weddings; the flowers, fabrics, lace, ribbons and environments.

This is one of my favorites. A friend on flickr said if it were of her she would have a huge canvas of it. I love it.


I loved this one before I added the texture to it and it is not really about the texture. I love the tenderness of the bride and her father and the texture makes them pop.






Are you really going to post that one again? Why yes, yes I am. It is one of my favorites and this time it is shown with texture and no writing on it.




Color can be textural.


Black and white can also be textual.


Flowers, lace and beading have fabulous texture.


Light can definitely add texture.




It's all about texture added or real.

Family Man

I saw this on Kevin Swan's Blog and I just had to share it with you.

Indy Air Show

I went to the Indianapolis air show at Mt Comfort on Friday; I was hoping for blue skies. You see they were not so blue. It was very cloudy and gray. But, the planes were awesome.

colorful tents against a gray sky...sigh


the F-22A raptor is soooo cool. I love that you can see the fire from the afterburners.








I really don't think I would like to be upside down. I think this is a really cool shot though.


this is the heritage fight, they are awfully close together don't you think?


as a bonus the F/A-18 hornets dropped by.


one of the hornet crew members checking things out.


he is describing how the carrier pitches and the pilot still lands on it during a storm. he also talked about his tour in the gulf and how hot it was, even when he wasn't on the deck.

thank you to all those who have served our great country.

stuff for fun

Some artistic stuff I have been working on. I took these at the Play for Maeve in Chicago. The fireman always bring a truck a spray the field in the late afternoon. It helps wash all the dirt off the kids, well maybe.

Maeve's Foundation

I donated a couple of prints to the Maeve McNicholas Memorial Fondation. The two of them sold for $280. I am very happy that I was able to help them this way.
This is one of the prints that was sold, it can be purchased from here. A portion of the sale will be donated to Maeve's Foundation.

Blue Dog

So, I found colored sand for my son. I knew he would love it. I really never thought about how they made the sand blue and therefore did not think about it when he asked if he could make a beach with water. I told him he could play in the water with the sand, it is always more fun to have the water, right. I called the kids in for dinner and left my cute little white dog outside. While we were sitting at the dinner table I looked outside and saw my white dog standing on the "beach". So, if you have a white dog and colored sand, do not let the two get together.

Memorial Day Parade

We went to a small parade on Memorial Day. My kids call it the candy parade because most of it is groups like the scouts that give away candy. There were a few patriots that I thought I would share with you.



He is looking down at a large group of children, his expression facinates me.






They seem to be having fun, even thought it is hot, for May anyway.
