Bead Blocks

I found these beads in a drawer and loved the colorful stripes. I had fun stacking them up, moving them around and changing the focus. They came out just how I wanted them too.

Connection

I noticed the spirals on the right-hand limb, and then I realized they were created by the left-hand limb reaching out and wrapping around. I'm not a philosophical person really, but it made me think about different connections, and also how people can grow together over time.

I guess I'm hungry, taking food photos!

Petals on Rocks

I can't resist posting these photos of the flowers in my mom's long stem rose garden. They're so pretty!

Not an artsy photo, I know, but who can resist this face?

As soon as I came downstairs this morning I saw what I wanted to photograph! All of our plants are inside because it froze overnight a few days last week.

The cactus was glowing from the light coming through the blinds, and I feel lucky that I caught it at that moment.

This is the second photo for 1-17. Cate gave me these for Christmas this year. She's the penguin, and I'm the turtle (but the rest of the time we're ninjas).
