I’ve aways been fascinated by animals.
One of the first books I remember reading as a child was titled “Where Do Birds Go When it Rains”. I don’t think the book ever answered the title question. What a trauma for a young girl. I remember being so concerned every time it rained (and I grew up in South Florida where you could set your watch by the summer thunder storms) and worrying about the little birds outside.
Being a Colorado girl now I am awed at the adaptability of animals. Forget the rain, I am amazed animals can survive the winter!
Steve and I went on a winter hike in Estes Park this weekend. It was snowing lightly and when we stopped for some hot tea a little bird popped out of the tree right above our heads. Seeing him up there reminded me of this childhood question. Whatever the weather the animals are out there surviving.
Below are the photos of Steve and I with our tea cups and our feathered friend.
Welcome 2008! The beginning of the year is always my favorite time to reflect, review and revitalize. What went well in 2007, what didn’t go well. What do I want to change in 2008.
One of my intentions for 2008 is to implement some green policies for the business. Below is the list of some of the things I am doing or about to start.
- Archival products. I love that my products – photographs and albums – are items that you will cherish for generations. I search for the highest quality items so that your grandchildren will enjoy the image we create today.
- Online Proof Viewing – no disposable prints
- Work with Album companies that have green goals and animal friendly covers.
- Use Rechargeable Batteries
- Green Printing for my business cards and marketing materials. I am using recycled papers and soy inks and a company committed to eco friendly practices.
- Green Printing option for your cards and announcements.
I have always had the ideal that every little bit helps. These intentions may seem small but if everyone did just a little bit the old earth will be a little bit happier.
Please share more ideas for going green in the comment section.
Cheers to the new year!

I love living in a small town. This past weekend was the Lyons Annual Christmas parade and fireworks show. I must say I am impressed with the show each year. First there is a light parade through town followed by a melodious choir singing carols and the show wraps up with a grand fireworks display. It was chilly out but the warmth of my neighbors made the temperature bearable. Below are some photos. I was using my new D300 and these were all taken sans flash at ISO 3200
After many technical difficulties I now have a blog. Looking forward to posting images of my life and work. Here are some sunflower pics I took last month to start the blog on a happy note.
Cheers! Jennifer
