Progression

A few new pictures for you. I've been venturing into texture and digital collage. Here are two of my favs so far!

And just for the fun of it: "Hatchling"

Being the Paparazzi

On Monday morning I had what my cousin Kim calls, "an ordinary adventure." I was wandering around my mother's garden with my camera when I spotted a beautiful monarch butterfly. Of course I started snapping pictures like crazy and soon my sister joined me.
It flitted around the coneflowers for 15-20 minutes, often holding very still for long periods of time! At one point Heather was gently nudging it's wings to get it to open them! (It didn't of course). Heather said we were like the butterfly paparazzi :)
Overall it was a lovely experience and I am thrilled with the great pictures we got.

Oh yeah, I got a flickr account! Check me out (haha)

Also known as "Maddox Studios" if you'd rather search for me.

Sunshine!

Ok, you can't tell me that's not the cutest picture ever! Lol. I know, i'm biased. We went outside to play yesterday afternoon and Jazzy found the flowers in the yard. When I said "can you smell the flowers for mommy" she just posed beautifully!

And of course the one before she managed to rip it up! Haha. Night folks. Sweet dreams...
