Time to Fill the Well

It's been a long time since I've been able to play with my camera and photos. I'm hopeful that can keep my plans to fill my well. Here's a good start.

Mexican Bird of Paradise, with my Lensbaby Velvet lens again. I love the soft and sharp contrasts in this lens.

Photos: From the OR coast

We went to the Seaside, OR for a dance competition and to visit with good friends. Here are two photos that I absolutely love, both taken with my new* Lensbaby Velvet lens.

The little one walking along the OR coast. 

The girls playing in the surf.

* new...well mostly new, as is I received it as a birthday gift last year, but finally started using it this summer. Yeah, things have been that busy.
