A girl and her Ted.
My niece Ainsley just turned one and for her birthday she got this huge furry tan bear. It was instantly named 'Ted' for the movie-bear it resembles. Ainsley and Ted have been pretty inseparable since meeting, and every time she sees him she jumps on him and cuddles him. This summer I'm thinking I need to do a whole series of Ainsley and Ted hanging out together, possibly the bear doing naughty things around the house he 'blames' on Ainsley... haha.

Tule Springs Magic
I love 'em, love 'em, love 'em! Seana and Lils met me today at Tule Springs in North Las Vegas (pronounced too-ey), a spot that barely reminds me of anywhere near here. It's actually... sort of... Nebraska-ish. These natural springs were visited by large prehistoric mammals in an era when the southern Nevada area was much cooler and wetter. Fossil remains of extinct mammoths, bison, horses, camels, giant sloths and other animals have been found in Tule Springs.
...and here's flapper Lils! I used the "collodion" action from Florabella, then added the frame on pixlr-o-matic.

Red Rock Gypsies
I photographed the adorable Corinna and Kyler this morning out at Calico Basin, near Red Rock just outside of Las Vegas. The whole area out there is soooo beautiful, and photoing these two cute girls was a blast. Five more shoots tomorrow, and a few over the weekend, then they'll send me packin' back to Nebraska. Vegas is making me want to stay a little longer.

Pinterested in super stardom
Alright, so the other day somebody sent me a note that the Novogratz's pinned my
upcycled dresser (see it a few posts down) and I was all.....
"Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss, and
wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"
because I lo-uh-uh-uh-uhve them. We don't have cable, because what are we?
junk food for brains? but I still stalk down the Novo's tae vae show. Because
they totally kick ass. How's that for an articulate assessment?

Geeking out on photography
My husband says my step daughter and I are terrible influences on each other; I'd have
to agree...

You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down
When life gives you lemons, read some Annie Dillard... it's. just. so. beautiful...
"There is always the temptation in life to diddle around making itsy-bitsy friends and meals and journeys for years on end. It is all so self conscience, so apparently moral...But I won't have it. The world is wilder than that in all directions, more dangerous...more extravagant and bright. We are...raising tomatoes when we should be raising Cain, or Lazarus."
"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives."
"I think it would be well, and proper, and obedient, and pure, to grasp your one necessity and not let it go, to dangle from it limp wherever it takes you."
"You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down."
"Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes."
"You can't test courage cautiously, so I ran hard and waved my arms hard, happy."
"The dedicated life is the life worth living. You must give with your whole heart."
"There is no shortage of good days. It is good lives that are hard to come by. A life of good days lived in the senses is not enough. The life of sensation is the life of greed; it requires more and more. The life of the spirit requires less and less; time is ample and its passage sweet. Who would call a day spent reading a good day? But a life spent reading -- that is a good life."
"It is no less difficult to write a sentence in a recipe than sentences in Moby Dick. So you might as well write Moby Dick."
"He judged the instant and let go; he flung himself loose into the stars."
