And...it's a wrap!

 
"If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up."-Richard Avedon....I have stuck with this blog for the last 364 days..some days good, some days boring and a few days great...it's been an interesting and creative venture, but today is the final blog..and while I will miss searching for that perfect snap each day..I am happy to be at the end of the road...who knows, after a little time off, maybe I will miss it enough to start all over again..but for now...thanks to all who followed the ride.

Drink up...

 
One more day and then it's VACATION break...need I say more!

A hopeful sign...

 
Today I noticed the edge of my patio peaking out from under what was 2 feet of snow...a hopeful sign, let's hope this thaw continues for a while.

Nothing better than a warm fire...

 
just wish I had one tonight..thank God for friends with crackling fires.

Happy Valentine's Day...

 
Once again, my student Maddie outdid herself with her cupcake stunners...she is becoming the unofficial "Cake Boss" of our classroom...too pretty in pink not to show off on my blog today!

"Olivia" inspired Artwork....

 
Today was the last class in our series on art inspired by Children's Literature...we focused on the character Olivia the Pig. In the lesson Olivia becomes an artist and paints her own version of a Jackson Pollock "splatter" painting...so the student's work was inspired by Olivia, who is, in turn, inspired by Jackson Pollock's art...ain't art grand!

Click your heels three times...

 
..and repeat after me.."There's no place like home,there's no place like home!"...especially on a wonderful Sunday in the cold, dreary winter!
