in comparison

to the previous (and considerably bleak) post, the sun came out of hiding yesterday, and i saw golden light again!

i even photographed the most whimsical of music-making ladies:

. . .

a few good things lately:

- foggy nights in the tree house with three undeniably good souls
- cupcakes
- those employed by the USPS
- utter joy!

. . .


i'll go to the bookstore now.


lovelove,

oh, i've

just been frustrated, for a few days now!
but only because i haven't seen golden light in forever it seems.
and in its absence, cloudless grays and wind.
although, it's still beautiful in its own right.
i don't love winter (i think in fact i wrote about this last winter), however, this season of my life i've been most happy and content.

. . . . .

here's something from the other morning.
one of the dearest little girls i know:


and, something new:

i have added a gallery to my website entitled 'children & families'.
it was just time to show you all what i photograph most often!
so many sweet littles that i just adore.
you may know them, too.

delights,

it just might

be time to say something small.

these may look boring and indifferent to what you've seen before:



however, i went to watch the ocean last week.
it was only for but a short time, though how i enjoyed it.


i painted a lot and made stop-motion films today whilst it was gray outside,
so maybe i'll show you them soon.


sincerely, L

it's just been

so so enormously busy around here lately! but, how thankful i am for that.

on monday it was my dear grandmother's 75th birthday.

her daughters (+ littles), daughters-in-law (+littles) and 3 best friends came over for a lovely brunch in the morning light.

you must know something about my grandmother.
she is peaceful and pleasant and elegant and all that is good in the world.
she loves deeply -- just, so deeply -- which i know is why my eyes well with tears every time she hugs me tight and kisses my cheek.
she is patient (enough to raise 9 children) and encouraging and remarkably beautiful and most of all understanding.
and when something tickles her inside, she laughs with everything she is and just can't hold back (which i absolutely must have inherited directly from her).

she is just precious to me and the fullest blessing i know:


love,
L

p.s. more soon!

this weekend,

it has just been remarkable!
so full of friendships and laughter and late-nights at wonderful places.
i am just overwhelmed and so delighted.

. . . . .

i want to show you a couple photographs of camilla.

she was so willing and kind enough today to dance in the wind and golden light,
while i stood with my camera,
making feeble attempts to capture the beauty and feeling:


(thank you, lovely girl)

sincerely,
L

p.s. thank you. for reading and looking and watching and sharing this all with me. also, thank you for your encouragement.

today, in f1.8:

everything was just lovely today.
more soon.

love,

yesterday,

at the most breathgiving hour of the day,

in the most beautiful of places,
i photographed a lovely girl.

she is beginning her music career and i am so honored that she asked me to photograph a little -- to capture who she is.

i love when people ask this of me.


let me introduce you to sara:

( please enjoy more on my little flickr page )

i'm so busy.
i love being so busy.

love,

p.s. do you like this font better?
i think it's more enjoyable to read.
