Yesterday was Adam's birthday, and although I did get a phone call in to him, I didn't get a blog post up because I ended up driving to Syracuse to spend a few hours with my brother. (More about that later this week.) Here's the card I left with our gift for him when we were in Ashland.
I'm a big fan of Papertrey's Stylish Sentiments: Birthdays, and thought the bicycle image from Studio Calico was a perfect match for it. The arrow is a Papertrey die, and I hand cut the banner. I think I cased the design for this card from one by Joy Taylor, but I can't for the life of me find it on her site or in my Vi.sualize.us account.
We've had a very busy week and dreary, dreary weather---enough rain that we ended up with some water in the basement. It made for slim pickings for the 52/50 project this week. I had hoped a visit by Betsy and Skylar Friday night would add some good images, but Skylar was feeling under the weather, so I'll save those for a weekend recap post later this week.
My favorite image from the conservatory last Saturday, taken with the 50 mm.
A rather winter-worn deer showed up in the yard one morning.
I was happy with the clear focus on the raindrops since it was taken through the kitchen window. It was much too wet to take the good camera outside.
There was a break in the rain the day I after I found the helleborus blooming in the backyard. This is the pick for Kent Weakley's P52 project.
