A Few Favorite Photos...

Blog, oh blog- how I've neglected you...

Cantalouper has been keeping me pretty busy, as well as preparing for a new baby- two things that I'm glad are keeping me busy! As Jen & I get ready to create a space for our little one, I contemplate some photographs I might like to use as reference for drawings or paintings- or to just hang as they already are. Here are my favorites:

These two were taken during a trip last year with Jen's dad Pat to Edisto Island, SC. We had just been "crabbing" during late afternoon, off of one of the docks. As the sun set, I felt a need to try and preserve the beauty and serenity.

These last three were taken by Jen, as we walked on the beach. While I was trying to take it all in physically & emotionally, Jen had the idea to take it in digitally as well. I'm glad she did.

These last few were taken at the Botanical Gardens in St. Louis. We had the idea to feed the carp/goldfish, as there was a dispenser nearby where you could purchase food. I liked the way they seemed to materialize from the depths through the ever-changing patterns and textures the water provided. Little did we realize that the local ducks also like the food. I managed to get a few shots of carp before the ducks took over.
