Textures and a Tabby Cat

I adore hoar frost.  This morning had to have been the finest display yet – everything was completely transformed with its tiny, intricate ice crystals.  As I was outside this morning admiring and shooting…our cat Buster suddenly appeared among the grasses.  He has simply got to be the cutest cat ever, no?!  :)

Guilty Pleasures

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory marshmallows on a stick, Baskin Robins ice-cream sunday, and trespassing.  Very pleasurable indeed! :) It all started with around of mini golf at the Tug Boat Junction on the way to Harrison.  I’ve eyed that place for years, thinking it’d be a great place to take family pictures.  It was great...

…they still made them as uber cool as they used to!  I went to Sumas Days on Saturday with the kids and my sister and her kids, and was completely enthralled by the gorgeous cars in the car show from the 40′s and 50′s.  One day maybe I’ll own one…I can always dream. It was...

Small Town

…on a snowy, Monday night.  “Bobby told Lucy, “The world ain’t round…drops of sharp at the edge of town.  Lucy, you know the world must be flat…cause when people leave town, they never come back.”   (Hal Ketchum’s “Small Town, on a Saturday night.”) I, however, wouldn’t trade it for anything.  Been comin’ back for 31...

Of Beauty and Bokeh

Bokeh: Japanese term for the subjective aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas of a photographic image.  (It’s pronunciation is highly debated online as either BOW-ka or BOW-kay.) While bokeh is present in any photo with a shallow(er) depth of field, it’s often non-descript.  It’s the extraordinary, catch-your-breath-beautiful, smooth and creamy bokeh that we photographers strive to achieve; where...
