March bouqet 2013

Dear Everyone:

I enjoyed a return to shooting flowers.

I chose this bouqet because of its
fresh green and soft white colour scheme.

It also fits with St. Patrick's Day
if you happen to celebrate it.

I shot the bouqet poised on a

table in my hobby room which
made for an interesting backdrop.

Enjoy!

March elephant 2013

Dear Everyone:

Here is my most recent folk art painting.

This image of an elephant was drawn from
a travel photo in a book.

The elephant wanted a pink backdrop.
The resulting backdrop almost looks like a sun-rise.

Enjoy.

Nature in One's Own Backyard 2013

Dear Everyone:

These shots were taken in a residential
sub-division. A little slice of Nature surrounded
by houses.

I call the series "Natures in One's Own Backyard".

These shots are a bit subtle. Hope you can appreciate them.

Firefly poem 2013

Dear Everyone:

This is my latest poem.
It describes a person I
encountered just yesterday.


FIREFLY

You like to be the centre of attention
The meeting stalls as you fire away questions
You prance and pose
Do you have a bit of an exhibitionist in you
Can't decide if it's love or hate
Certainly you are interesting
Do you upstage your friends
Certainly the room zeroes in on you
as you perform in your forward fashion
You move somewhat jerkily
You are a bit like a firefly flickering intently
and drawing the eye to you
Bravo!
It makes you memorable



Helen.
