Hiatus

I am off to Spain to meditate for a week. This is the same place I went to in January (www.solterreno.com), which resulted in the explosion of photography juju that gave rise to this blog, so hopefully I'll have lots of exciting new stuff to post when I get back. But don't get too excited (she said, desperately trying to manage her own expectations) - retreats are unpredictable things, which, so far, don't seem to result in what I expect.

I'm back Friday July 3rd BUT I'm leaving for NYC (to find an apartment! Whee!) on the following Monday, and will not return until July 14th. So, there may not be any posts until July 15th or later. I know. I'm sad too. But I promise I'll be back! And maybe I'll sneak one or two in there, you never know.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! The weather here has been completely amazing.

I know it looks super processed, but I actually only made a few minor adjustments in Lightroom. They really were THAT bright.

Whee! When grass looks like fireworks... the effect reminds me of spark trails shooting off a fire. Love this lens.

Seems an ominous title for such a soft picture, I may change it when I have more time and am feeling more creative.
