Hmmm, I have a Flickr account that I've signed up for when I took a photo workshop. Too many places to post! I need to figure out how to consolidate, so this is my first try.

Roses

After a rain last week in our front garden terrace.

Well, we have flies too.

Fallen petals.

No rose here. Just our lounging cat, TC:)

Elgin, AZ outing, July 28, 2012

Kief- Joshua Winery. Just after a light rainstorm. All the winetasters took cover.

Elgin/ Sonoita, AZ is is our winetasting region here is SE AZ. It was a beautiful day, everything lush and green, rain showers, a bit of wine, calming, soothing day.  We've been short on rain here in Bisbee this monsoon season, just hot and humid. More rain, please!

I'm trying to figure out what next with my art/encaustic. I was 5 days, 30 hours/week working at the Copper Queen Library for 3 months. (I do programming.) Back to my regular 2-1/2 days, 19.5 hours/ week now. Yay! We were short-staffed sooo I filled in. I guess I've never mentioned my job. I've been at the library about 2 years now. Anyway, ramble, ramble. I'm going to start a list, or writings of what I'm passionate about, THEN to the studio when I find a focus - inspiration. My recent photographs may have potential to become encaustic too. I do love the lush, moody landscapes.

Roper State Park Polaroids

These photos mimic the old Polaroid SX-70 photos I remember from my childhood. These were taken at Roper State Park, Safford, AZ.  Mike and I went there for the day waaay back when - July 21, 2012:)

Mike tests the water.

Remember those days?

Yours truly.
