Pink Japanese Puff

I've been meaning to get a photo of this strange tree for a while now.  Thankfully, I brought my camera out yesterday morning and caught it in the sunlight and before Hurricane Earl sends it flying.  Took a lot of googling and questioning my gardening mom before we finally figured out that this is a Japanese Silk Tree.  It has flowers and pods and fern-like leaves.  Very cool.

Newest Addition to My Shop

Took this during a fun architectural photo scavenger hunt over the summer.  Love the buildings in the City of Boston.  So many different styles and periods.

Spill the Wine ...

My latest Etsy Treasury -- http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4c69bc1c5bf38eefacc2ad9c/spill-the-wine?index=25

I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back


As she disappeared, but soon she returned


In her hand was a bottle of wine, in the other, a glass


She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass


And raised it to her lips


And just before she drank it, she said:

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl


Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

My latest addition to my shop: Time to Go Home

I have a thing for taking photos of humans from the back.  I like that you can feel their expressions rather than relying on looking at their faces or in their eyes.  This is one of my favorites.
