busy as a bee
it's been a crazy week... no news on the art show front, although I am considering adding two more shows: the Boise Art Museum's Art in the Park, and Artfest in Spokane.
I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear from Portland. hopefully the letter will be in tomorrow's post.
meanwhile, I have a new office at my real job, and at last I have a window. ok, northern exposure, but still a window. I celebrated by bringing in some plants (the hyacinth have just opened and smell divine), including one of my favorite local spring plants, the chocolate lily.
I also managed to get over to the Bellevue Botanical Gardens for the first time this year. although some of the native plants have begun to bloom, like the pond lilies and the indian plums, they had a lot of daffodils, and, a favorite of mine, plum trees.
if you say, wait, that looks like a cherry blossom, well, I wouldn't blame you.
both plum trees and cherry trees are genus prunus, and I suppose you'd need to wait until the fruit develops to really know.
I did a little shopping and I think I am finally ready to start offering CDs with a studio momo/floragraphy screen saver. my Epson R200 is doing a great job of printing onto the CDs, and I have enough printable CDs and cases to spare. it's a cool project to work on.
speaking of projects, I also compiled a book of my limited edition Kaua'i shots, to bring to art shows, as I doubt I'll be able to display all nineteen shots (and show pieces from other portfolios). it turned out very well; I sent a copy to my mother as she and my stepfather are moving soon--to Connecticut where it's still snowing!
(cue diabolical laughter)
finally, I ended my week with a photo shoot this morning with good friend Kat, also a fantastic photographer (her web site is here).
We went to the Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden and the Rhododenron Species Botanical Garden today.
I'd never been to the HSBG before, and although it was small (and directly in the SeaTac flight path), it looks like it could be wonderful. my favorite shot there was of a ladybug, hunkered down among some blossoms on a plum tree:
I really cropped the heck out of this shot, just to zoom in on the ladybug.
the full shot looks more like this:
the RSBG had some great rhodies already in bloom, like the one below, but I think it will be another week or so before the full riot act is read and the profusion of blossoms is upon us. I can't wait.
