Shelly > July 6, 2009 Waiting for Ryann Chelsea (SOOC) The anticipation is just almost too much to bear. Last fall I bought two plumeria cuttings. Because they were only rooted last year, I really didn't expect any blooms this summer. Still, the Ryann Chelsea variety has been taunting me for several weeks with the promise of blossoms. Watching the twisted buds grow and start to explode has been very exciting, but then, I just get excited about things like that. You can't imagine the self-discipline it takes to keep from reaching in and trying to help them unfurl. Yes, I know better . . . learned that lesson many long years ago when I tried to help rush a rose bud. So I'm waiting . . . Maybe tomorrow. "Be still and know that I am God." -- Psalm 46:10
Shelly > June 17, 2009 Living on the Edge -- I was hungry and went to the grocery store. Not quite the same as fresh from the field, but it's the best this city-fied small-town girl can do anymore. "There is clearly much left to be done, and whatever else we are going to do, we had better get on with it." -- Rosalynn Carter

Shelly > February 28, 2009 Americana This morning our town held its annual FFA parade, and so I'm dedicating this photo to my friend Cheryl who called at the last minute and said . . . "Let's go. I'm coming to get you in 15 minutes." This little boy was driving a big ol' John Deere tractor right into downtown. How very exciting for him! I added a little retro-toning to this shot, and it could have been taken anywhere any time in the last fifty or sixty years. "Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil, and you're a thousand miles from the corn field." Dwight D. Eisenhower, September 11, 1956 34th president of US 1953-1961 (1890 - 1969)
Shelly > February 6, 2009 Grasping at Straws Oh my I love what I do. A $1.98 bag of colored straws -- legitimate business expense -- and time to work in my west studio. La Ti Da! That's right . . . I have two studios. The main studio is my son's old bedroom which is truly if slowly being converted to a functional studio. The west studio receieves the most wonderful natural south and west light, and it even doubles as a kitchen. Talk about multi-functional! "To love what you do and feel that it matters - how could anything be more fun?" -- Katharine Graham
Shelly > green grapes
Shelly > orange and green grapes on the cutting board
Shelly > January 15, 2009 Fruit Salad Tonight? Here's wishing I lived closer to Matt so I could put this alongside his Mac and Cheese recovery dinner. I played a little more with my orange juice picture concept today, and although I came up with some ideas that I need to pursue further, I still never got any images that truly blew me away. Why is it that I just want so badly to impress myself? Anyway . . . I gave up on the juicy pics and got out the grapes. The bananas escaped for the time being. Now I owe my family one decently prepared meal at an equally decent hour for a change . . . so I'm done shooting for now. This is straight out of camera, but at least I have a daily! "For the rest of my life I'm going to trust that God is always at work in all things, and give Him thanks long before my simplest prayers are answered." --Nancy Parker Brummett
