"Clouds" Day 17 of the 30 day photo challenge


Capturing clouds in June in California is no easy feat.  When I saw these floating by one evening, I knew I had my shot.

"Reminder" Day 16 of the 30 day photo challenge


Reminder - Day 16 topic.

I seem to have the best luck at the hospice thrift shops.  I bought this group of three hardcover books for the grand sum of $4.50.  The Western Stories book had a retail price marked at $11.95.

"Bubbles" Day 15 of the 30 day photo challenge


Bubbles.  This image was a challenge in the truest sense of the word.  First, I had to locate a bottle of children's bubbles.  That was not an easy thing to do.  Having locating said bubbles, I had one day left to capture the image.  It was an incredibly windy day.  Blowing bubbles + wind = fail.  I did get my one image - bubbles it is!

"From above" Day 14 of the 30 day photo challenge


This is the view from above, a balcony in Folsom.  I captured the image from Indie Salon, a place I discovered through a referral.  Their attitude is reflected in their motto "Kick A** Hair Studio" and I would have to agree.  Both my daughter and I are hair converts to this new salon.

"Empty" Day 13 of the 30 day photo challenge


Empty storefronts.  There are plenty of those in and around Sacramento.  These buildings on K Street Mall comprise an entire block of empty businesses (with exception of one cell phone store).  The city has tried and tried to revitalize this section.  Now that there will be a new stadium built, this block may finally come to life.

"Beverage" Day 11 of the 30 day photo challenge and a crooked picture post

I'll begin with the beverage I enjoyed at La Bonne Soup Cafe, satisfying my photo challenge topic of the day.


I enjoyed a fresh baked french roll with Florida blue crab and melted provolone cheese (sorry foodies, no pic of that).  But then, I saw this ~


It is a crooked picture.  I thought of Nicky at We Work for Cheese (she is much, much prettier) and her hilarious crooked picture post.  Nicky, this one's for you!

"Silhouette" Day 10 of the 30 day photo challenge and VOGOFF Magazine 2013 is now live!


I silhouetted my image using the Befunky website.  This was one of two images that I submitted to Melanie at
bagandaberet.  Her VOGOFF magazine creation is NOT for the faint of heart.  It is a total spoof on the fashion industry.  This cover shot says it all ...


You can view the entire magazine at http://vogoff.homestead.com/

Well worth your fashion investment time.
