I wanted to totally customise my pi day wedding dress and make it myself. So I decided on a tattered skirt style, which would keep the cost low, and allow […]
Winter Arches
There has been a lot of chaos in my life lately… For me, this chaos mirrors Lake Superior. Everything can appear to be calm and smooth, but in reality, the […]
Lone Hay Bale
Another one of the prairie storm shots. Once again, not nostalgic for Kansas, but maybe missing the fact that i could stand on the pickup truck and see 100 square […]
Spring on Lake Superior
I really love this one! It is early morning in early spring on Lake Superior, with the rocks glazed over in ice. The brilliant sunset lights some of the ice […]

Fantasy Fjords
I guess I am surprised that it has been nearly a week again since my last post. In my defense, the temperature went from very cold (like mid 30s and […]
Blue Merle Aussie Puppy in a Flower Field
My dog Clark has a best friend whose name is Dexter. Dexter is a blue merle Australian Shepherd (I really love merles) owned by my friend Sissy Demon (It is […]

Galaxies of Light
And it is time to get my inner nerd on… Since I was a little kid, I loved stars. So much so, that my family bought me a telescope and […]
We Can Live Beside the Ocean…
