Urbanfare#22011

Dear Everyone:

These 2 images reflect my interest

in individuals doing fitness and

in dogs and their owners.

The dog is called Diamond and

I was thrilled when the owner

let me shoot them. She chatted

a bit and was pleasant despite

her tough appearance.

DearEveryone:

I have started working on

greeting cards for Father's Day.

This image was inspired by

an osprey diving and fishing

at a river near my house.

He returned to the same

perch daily.

I hope you enjoy this

image.

I was astonished to see this

the image blown up and

framed and placed in

my living room.

I hope you enjoy this

image

Dear Everyone:

I called these images finds

Spring Find I 2011

Springgardenfind#12011

Dear Everyone:

This triptych is one of

my favourites.

I love the colours-

oranges and coral,

whites and ivory.

The house is very pretty

but a bit run down.

The styling of the store window

is charming.

The butterfly and flower

are painted on a power box.

Enjoy.

Helen.

Spring find II 2011

Springgardenfind#22011

Dear Everyone:

This is another triptych.

Arranging a design for a

triptych is like interior

decorating it is putting

things together. I enjoy it.
