I came across this pretty outdoor cafe during my last day trip to NYC. I loved the striking cobalt blue walls behind the table.

Our new kitty is feeling right at home. We adopted her from the shelter not even two weeks ago and already, we are feeling the love.

Here she is, fast asleep and feeling quite content this afternoon.

Project 365

Friends! I am happy to announce that I am embarking on my second daily art project, renamed "Project 365."

I've been thinking about this project a lot, especially during the last few months of experimenting with the color projects, and it really got my creative juices flowing. I like having a daily work of art to post and share with you each day. . . it's motivating and it pushes me to expand my boundaries, which is always good!

This "year" I will be experimenting with fresh new photography styles, adding in some travel photos, sharing shots of our newly adopted animal friends and even posting a few self-portraits.

Today, we begin with the spender of Spring in the beautiful "Garden State" of  New Jersey.

Thanks and enjoy!

New month, new color project! I'm going to expand my range a bit for April. Rather than just one color, I'll be working with a color family. This month - shades of yellow ~ from pale cream to vibrant yellow-orange.

Happy Spring!

March Green, No. 3

March Green, No. 2

I'm ready for spring. March's color of the month is GREEN.

The title of today's post says it all. About this time each year, I get very tired of the grey and brown of winter. Most of the snow is melted and I'm ready for some green. So while I'm waiting for spring, I can create my own. Here's the first installment of the March color of the month: green.

Working on a color project helps me to push my boundaries. Because I've restricted my artwork to focusing on one color, I'm forced to find subjects that I might otherwise have ignored. For example, sitting and waiting at the train crossing, I had an "a-ha moment" and grabbed my camera to snap the 3rd installment of February's  Poppy Red.

Maybe it's no surprise that February's color is red...

Hello friends ~

January's "Grey Color Project" was fun. You see, grey can be so misunderstood. Some may find it dull, colorless or even depressing (especially during the long winter months.)  But I disagree. I think it grey can be very soothing, soft and quite beautiful. And grey is not just the the absence of color (though I guess "true grey" must be.) In the January color project, I found many different shades of grey, from warm, brown-toned greys to cool, bluish greys. What do you think about grey? Feel free to comment, I'd love to hear from you!

But now it's February and it's time for a change. I'm choosing a color from the Pantone Fashion Color Report, Spring 2013. ~ Pantone Poppy Red 17-1664

You will find this color somewhere in each of the February Color Project photos I post this month, starting with this lovely single red-orange rose.

Thanks and have a beautiful day.

My favorite

If you have been following along this week, you know I've been photographing feathers I've found over the past year. It's been a lot of fun focusing on the texture, color and composition of these beauties. I love them all, but I do have a favorite....

Grey, 6, 7 and 8

More feather art in black and white (and grey.) I had so much fun with these...

Grey, No. 5 - Found Feathers

I've started a "found feathers" collection. It's a small collection, but I expect it will grow! The largest feather was found on a nature walk in Pennsylvania. The second largest, in New Hampshire and the smaller two in my backyard in New Jersey.

January Grey Project: Photo #2

Below is photo  #2 of the January "Grey" project. I love how this color project pushes me to look at objects that I might not have considered before. For example, the shopping cart wheels at our local grocery store made for a great subject matter - the pattern of repeating shapes, the simplicity of the color...it all works together to create an intriguing image.

New Winter Nature Smartphone Cases

I'm so excited to share my latest iPhone/Samsung Galaxy SIII cases with you. I've created a new series of photos in just the last few weeks that highlight the beauty and simplicity of nature in winter.

All of the cases below are shown for iPhone5 and are available for iPhone3, 4, 4s, 5 ~ Samsung Galaxy SIII ~ Blackberry 9900 ~ Kindle Fire.

Happy New Year - gray or grey, however you spell it...

Gray is my new project. 

For 2013, I've decided to do "a color a month" project (note: a new and better name for this is coming soon.) Look for 10-15 new photos featuring gray this month....

Stay tuned and Happy New Year!
