Picnic in the City
I’m always saying I will post more snaps of the random stuff I get up to and not just post photos I take when travelling or that are staged. So my best friend,Claire, & I went for a picnic in Botanic Gardens, Belfast, on Friday and it was really lovely. Claire brought some delicious food (I brought junk) and we lay in the sun for hours. It brought out all my freckles and cleared my head. I am going to make sure we do it plenty more this summer.
Video Post [3]
Very quick just to explain what’s happening with my email backlog. I sound incredibly lisp-alicious and scatterbrained, not to mention that my eyes make me look like an alien (distortion, perhaps?). Also, the red hair is gone (far too much maintenance), but I’m now a warm-chesnut colour, which I have never been before. Back to regular programming shortly, away from vanity & excuses…
RedHead
I dyed my hair last night. It was jet-black and it is now ginger. I’ve had red hair before, I usually go red in the summer months. I don’t think this will stick though, it’s a bit too bright and a bit patchy, so I’ll probably re-dye it a darker auburn or brown in the next day or two. In the meantime, however, here are some photos. It’s only hair and it’s fun, so here’s some vanity….
A Moses Update
I’ve had quite a few requests lately to put up new photos of Moses. So I snapped a few yesterday morning when I was getting settled down to do some work. He wasn’t really having any of it and was far more interested in his baseball. He does, however, continue to be the funniest cat about, constantly trying to entertain. I’ve had cats since I was a child and I loved them all, but this little fella is just something else. Miles apart from any cat I’ve ever had. I think it’s because we got him as a young kitten and because he gets so much attention, but at the risk of sounding ‘crazy cat lady’, he is a total ham and I love him.
Alyssa Monks
I’ve been a fan of Alyssa Monks for quite some time now, but her work never ceases to amaze me. Most of these are oil on linen and they blow my mind. She may well be my favourite painter, besides Chuck Close.
Flamingos
Anyone who knows me will know that I love flamingos with all my heart. When I was six years old my class in Primary School adopted a flamingo at the Belfast Zoo and I clearly remember being fascinated with this animal. I’m a ‘cat girl’, but when it comes to non-domestic animals, the flamingo is by far my favourite. It also has a lot to do with the fact that I spend a lot of time in Florida – you can’t avoid the flamingo theme that the state of Florida has going on. For my 24th birthday, my good friends/family threw me a flamingo themed party at my favourite restaurant in Florida. I didn’t get too many Flamingo shots when I was in Florida, but here are a few snaps….

Back to Blighty
Night on Holmes Beach, FL.
My Spring in Florida is over and I’m currently in the UK (Belfast, then London as of Tuesday). I was not really ready to leave the USA this time (even though I missed my cat, Moses), but that’s ok I have a lot of work lined up in the UK and a lot of play too then I’m back to the US mid-summer if all goes to plan. I have a LOT of photographs to get through, so I’ll be posting over the next few days. I’m also going to be selling prints of all my work over the past few months. Now, my Google Reader has over 1,000 entries to get through….
Greetings from Sunny Florida
Greetings from Sunny Florida!
I’m currently in south-west Florida’s Gulf Coast, my home-from-home. I’m doing a lot of sun lounging and resting, so if I’m slow with any email responses, don’t worry, I will get around to it – just a bit later than usual.
Oldies (Part V) Sunsets & Night-scapes in Anna Maria Island
Oldies (Part V) Sunsets & Nightscapes in Anna Maria Island.
In keeping with pulling up older photos I’ve taken over the past five or six years. I’m also running with the theme of posting photos of Anna Maria Island, the tiny little ‘city’ in the form of an island that I consider to be my second home, where I’ll be headed back to on Friday.
