I’m a busy girl but I’m still getting my daily pictures in. I hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day if you celebrate it. I bring you two belated V-Day shots but not belated Eye Candy Friday shots.
I’ve also just reordered every single thing I’m low in over at the shop and will let you know when everything is all in. I expect it should all be here within a week.
Have a great weekend everyone!
I’m taking Eye Candy Friday literally today. 
I was so fortunate to finally meet Jenny Esperanza the other day. If you have not seen her work you need to sit down and take the time to go through her stream. When I first joined Flickr, Jenny was one of the first people I *found* who just left me so inspired and excited about photography. One of my very first shots I fav’d on Flickr was this shot of hers. I remember it so clearly. So it was extra special for me to meet someone who had and still has such an impact on my photography.
Not only is she immensely talented but she is such an amazing woman and mother. I can’t wait for us to be able to hang out again without being so rushed. We didn’t take many shots but I asked permission to take this one because it ranks up there as one of the coolest tattoos I’ve seen. It is based off of “Tears” (Larmes) by Man Ray.
Make sure and check out her website too. It’s just fantastic. Also, if you live locally, she has a huge 8-page spread in the February issue of the New Mexico Magazine.
Happy Friday my friends!
Hey gang. I’ve been kinda sick this week so I’ve been hanging low. I’m on the other side of it but it’s still lingering and let me tell you, I do not do sick well at all. It’s just a cold, nothing major. Anyway. I’m killing two birds with one stone and bringing you one picture for my Eye Candy and Saturday Sky shot even though it was taken on Friday. I’m sick. Give me a break!! Plus, this one is special because my girl Carole called me from work last night and asked me very nicely to take this for her. Here you go chica.
I was able to give her 6 sunsets in one. Who speaks Spanish? If you do will you click on the picture and tell me if I wrote the title correctly please? See in Vermont they teach you French….not Spanish. I asked a friend over the phone but want to make sure it’s right.
Early next week I should have two new Haiku Bags in the shop. They are pretty cool. There is the Chocolate Bloom (thanks to Courtney for the heads up!) and the Nightshade Blue Bloom.
OKay…..the kids both had their first soccer games today and I’m beat. I’m off to take a nap with Supergirl. Have a great weekend everyone.
includes a bike racer in it. Sorry! It’s all I’ve got. That’s my T. taken today at his bike race up near Santa Fe. I can’t remember if I’ve ever mentioned that he races on the blog? Well he does! He placed second today in the Pro, 1, 2, race and the only guy to beat him was this guy, some young Pro from Arizona.
The coolest thing is that T. is able to be in the lead of the New Mexico Road Racing series at age 40 with a full time job, a wife and two kids. I like to say, “Not bad for an old dude huh!?” Most of the guys who beat him are at at least 10 years younger than he is. The kids and I are so damn proud of him and we love going to watch him race. Although, our joke is that if he doesn’t win, we don’t come back to watch him…..
I’ve become friends with Tom, who runs the New Mexico Cycling Website and I’ve promised to take pictures at the races I attend to get shots for the website. My second picture is up on the website right now from a race 2 weeks ago. Pretty cool huh!? I dunno, I think it is! If you want to see the other shots I took today and at the other race I created a separate Flickr account for them. At some point I’ll get the proper zoom lens for action shots and then I’ll really get some great ones.
Hope you are having a great weekend. And this is brought to you by another post that has nothing to do with knitting! Whoo hoo!
Just a few minutes ago in between storms.
Click to see the other sizes & how about one extra Eye Candy Friday picture?
I was a little busy yesterday.
First up, a Saturday sky shot since I missed last week. This is a really cool cactus that has these bright red blooms on the tips of it. I’m the worst person EVER when it comes to identifying plants so I apologize for not knowing the name of it. But hey, it’s purty!
I also got in a huge shipment of GoKnit Pouches. It’s the first time in months that I have every single color and size I carry in the shop. I only have one of a few of them so hurry up and grab what you want if you’ve been waiting. I also got in the sock blockers too. If you see something out of stock it should be back in the store next week. Haiku Bags will finally be back in the shop in 1-2 weeks. I can’t wait!
I hope you are having a great weekend. I have company here so it’s been busy. And oh yeah, Amy Singer comes on Thursday! She will be staying with me until Tuesday so I’ll continue to be busy for another week or so. Nothing new for me right?
I’ll be honest and let you know this was taken two days ago.
But I love it, so you get it.
If I went there right now I would get the same
picture so I guess it’s not really cheating.
Happy Saturday.
