Mardi Gras

My family and I were lucky enough to get to visit Mobile, Alabama and the surrounding area this past weekend for the Mardi Gras festivities.  I got a few really great shots that I thought I would share.

Does she look like trouble or what?!?!

I saw this beautiful green floor and couldn't pass up an opportunity to get at least 1 shot.



Kevin actually shot this one.  I think he enjoyed looking at the motorcycles more than the parades!

We stayed in a home with a beautiful spiral staircase.

She looked at the perfect moment...now if I can just get her to smile on cue...

Kev gets credit again for snapping a great shot...I did have to do a little editing, though... :)

This little guy was our host for the weekend.  He was in the pond almost every time we went outside.

Family photos with friends

My family and I spent part of a Sunday afternoon shooting and hanging out with some friends of ours a couple of weeks ago. Here are a few of my favorite shots from that day:

Weekend Goal

I have set a weekend goal for myself to get some more pics on here.  I am sorry that I have been such a slacker! :)  I hope you are all having a very happy holiday season and that you are all looking forward to a very Merry Christmas!

Some more pics...because I couldn't stop myself

Mrs Peggy was followed all week by adoring young men...but her heart was already taken...

You're a lucky man, Max!

 Sweet Miss J...always trying to see what she can get into next!

The Queen's Staircase

Want more pics? You've got em!!!

These are some of my most favorite people in the world!

Traffic must have cleared out on the server...here are the paintings I promised.

I needed something blue and brown...and oriental...this is what I came up with.

Pink shoes...I really don't care too much for this one, but my husband and I did this together...I need to add his soon so you can see the distinct differences between the two...ha ha ha

Of all the paintings for which I get requests to duplicate, this is the #1

These paintings (for Kimber and Angel, obviously) have their names written in pink glitter...it doesn't show up in the pictures very well.

One of my absolute favorites...of course, I am partial to the calla

New Paintings

Well, I don't know if it's my computer or the blog, but I couldn't get any images to upload just now.  I'll try again shortly.  I hope you all had a great day today!
