so, I've set a schedule of sorts for my week.  I like to start with finishing the chores on Monday, crafting/knitting/etc on Tuesdays, comics on Wednesday (since it's new comic day), shooting of all types on Thursday and then my Friday is free to catch up on whatever I'd like.  it has been working out, so lets update on this week (and a little of last week). last Friday I spent the morning in Montana de Oro taking photos for a contest. this is Carolina cove in the morning. and here is the outlook as you start the trail. I also visited (for the second time) Never Not Knitting in Atascadero.  I've been following her patterns, blog and podcast for a while and I was so excited to be able to visit her shop, and meet her! I had almost finished the shawl pattern I purchased last time I went (but didn't get to meet her) so I didn't have it show, however I did wear my wire and wool necklace. she took my picture and posted it to her Instagram accoun...

I have a lovely friend that I've known for about 4 years now and she is an artist.  A trained, educated science spiffy artist.  She mostly does photography and draws wonderfully.  I had forwarded her some links about another photographer who specialized in self photography and I thought I'd give it a try. I created two triptychs in photo shop from the series.

I am hoping that I will be able to get a good photo entry for the May monthly online photo contest.  The theme is "hey girl" in honor of mothers day and and it must feature a face...hmmm better get to shooting.
