365/36 - Bodacious Bottle Class

This is one of the bodacious bottles created in Cindy Kovack's class at Frenzy Stamper today. Such a beautiful French feel to it. Look at that hat. Gorgeous. I'll post mine bottles after I return to Flagstaff tomorrow.

365/35 - Wedding Hat

I have had this wedding hat, or Spring hat, for several years ago. I probably bought it at a thrift store just to use for photo opportunities. I finally took the time to stop and take a picture. This is a cropped image. I wanted to see how sharp I could get the image by cropping vs. getting too close. The next time, I'll use the tripod, a cable release, and a smaller apperture. For now, I'm pleased with the results. Man, gotta love the DSLR.

365/34 - What is this flower?

Does anybody know the name of this lovely flower? I found it in the greenhouse at the Sedona nursery but failed to look at the tag for a name.

365/33 - Manzanita Blooms

Another beautiful in the high desert of No. Arizona. These are manzanita blooms. There I was crawling around in the dirt just to get pictures to post on my blog. Oh, well, what we won't or don't do for art.

365/32 - Blessing

The gardens and pathways in Tlaquepaque are home to a number of statues. I thought this was particularly meaningful. Blessings to all.

365/31 - White Lace Lady

One of the lovely shops in Tlaquepaque has an assortment of these delicate figures and perfume bottles. I've longed for one of the gracious ladies for several years. When I was there last week, I found some that were on sale for 50% off. I just couldn't walk away without taking two of them home with me.

365/30 - Ballerina Tilly

I have an extensive collection of ladies - divas if you will. Or goddesses. I found Ballerina Tilly at Marshal's a couple of weeks ago and fell in love with her. I rescued her for a mere $7 plus tax. She reminds me of the summer several years ago when Suzanne and I decided to take a beginning ballet class at the college where we worked (she's now at NAU and I'm still at CCC). So here is a gracious and not-so-delicate ballerina posing in her all her glory with a beautific smile on her face. Actually, she is built like my mother used to be - lovely curves and the family thunder thighs.
