Wickford, A Seaside Village

Some glimpses from today's afternoon trip to Wickford, RI. My mother and I browsed the lovely little shops, resisted the siren call of ice cream, and I took some photos at the harbor. All in all it was a pretty nice day.

Bold and Beaky

I couldn't resist posting one more tonight, from this morning's session...

Passerine Portraiture

I have a TON of new shell photographs to share, but I couldn't resist posting this adorable titmouse first, to break things up a bit. Isn't he or she beautiful?

Little Bird

Look what I got in the mail yesterday!



It's a beautiful handmade stamp by Geninne - an amazingly talented artist (as you can see by that glimpse of her business card), currently living in Mexico. She based the design on my 'Specimen 652' photograph, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I hope she'll like the print that is winging its way to her just as much as I enjoy the stamp. (Check out Geninne's Etsy Shop and don't miss her gorgeous Blog!)

In other news - and yes, this is big news - it's sunny for the second day in a row today! Woohoo! I am very ready for Spring. I took advantage of the morning light streaming into my dining room and took a few photos. Hope you enjoy this one!

Frosty!

I love going to the beach in winter - it's so peaceful. I was lucky enough to go today with one of my best friends, who's here in RI for a visit.

Inside my skin there is this space....

I had forgotten how good Jewel's 'Spirit' Album was. From way back in 1998 - the year I graduated from high school!

That was a pretty auspicious year - I took my first photography class... I would have never guessed then that I'd be doing this professionally now.

A Day in My Life

Today I started prepping for the Pawtucket Art Festival, which is happening Sept 13 & 14. The Arts in RI Team will be there in full force. We've got 5 booths of great stuff, so don't miss it! Between all of us we've got quite the variety of items - ranging from paintings to purses to jewelry, and more!

So far today I've decided on some new prints to sell, ordered some new cards, and worked on packaging up some of my existing magnets and finishing up some of my new glass magnets.





And of course, all work and no play makes Diana a dull girl, so I also edited a new pic from my latest trip to the Natural History Museum!

Did you know that several of my new natural history photographs are up for sale in my Etsy shop?

More, More, More

Magic Eye


Albino Blue Jay


Isn't that albino blue jay the coolest thing ever? Apparently the museum has several albino specimens, including one other that I took photos of. I'll leave you in suspense as to what type of bird it is :-)

The Last from Day 1

My summer got a bit busy there for a while, but I've finally had the chance to sit down and finish working on the photos from my first session at the Museum of Natural History. Enjoy!

Spring!

What a gorgeous day it is! It's the kind of day that makes me grateful that I don't own a dryer. There's something magical about getting chores done while standing in the sun in your bare feet. Yes, today is officially the first bare feet day of the Spring.

Zoom In!

Here's a close up of that little yellow bird :-)

Wall Art

I had some fun playing around with some mounted photographs today. It's an interesting experience, taking photos of photos.... I especially like the strange mirrored affect of the 3rd image.

Nestled

Another photograph from the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center! I really must go back there.

I liked the dreamy look of this nest, with it's washed out colors and delicate eggs nestled inside.

Shorebird

This photo is part of my Natural History series, but it would work in my Ocean series as well, since terns are shorebirds.

Whimsy

I may have some big news tomorrow... more to follow.

In the meantime, I've been playing around with "stamping" techniques again. Technically this bird is a crow, and not a raven, but "King Raven" sounds so much more majestic, don't you think? This is one of the few living animals I photographed while at the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center.
