FOSTER KITTY CRUSH

I'm not a cat person.  Probably because they're not needy enough.  Lol.  But this little bundle of sweet furry purry fun?  Oh, be still my heart.  She's Abbie's lastest foster kitten for the Humane Society and even I'm going to have trouble saying goodbye next week when she goes back for adoption.  

Meet Zoe...aka Sarah (her HS name)

RUTHIE DAVIS' KICK ASS SHOES

Fun FUn FUN!  That's what I had at the New Britain Museum of Modern Art.  

This is art for feet folks!  Not MY feet mind you, but the feet of those with experience at great heights like Beyonce, Alicia Keys & Lady Gaga. 

Connecticut's own Ruthie Davis' shoes are on display at the museum and my photographer friend and partner in fun Craig Norton let me tag along and do my thing while he photographed the exhibit for her.     

Her exhibit includes her original design work and/or inspirations for the designs.  It really is something to see.  (even if you love bare footin like me)

Here's a peek at what I was seeing while Craig was shooting around the room.

Shoes named after sushi?  Seriously?  Does it get any better!?

Artist sees building.  Artist thinks...hmm that'd make a cool pair of sandals....

I can totally see myself in a pair of these can't you?? 

John & Garrett's Elegant Wedding

It's simple. Two people in love and the freedom to marry.  The way it should be everywhere.  And it's right here in my home state of Connecticut.  Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

John and Garrett wanted elegance for their wedding.  Well they certainly succeeded.  Here are some my highlights from their wedding as second shooter for Craig Norton.  Elegance is beautifully done at the The Society Room of Hartford.  What an amazing job they do and what a lovely evening it was.

Can John cut a rug? Wow could he ever!  Rug optional.

Peace and happiness to you both John and Garrett.

SPRING FLOWERS

Ahhhh it's Spring Flower time.  It's becoming a tradition for me to have a trip over to Elizabeth Park's greenhouses as they gear up for the annual Spring Flower sale.  Each year is a little different.  I go during different weather, different times of day, sometimes with a friend.  This year I went late.  Late in the week and late in the day.  The sun was beaming in, shadows everywhere, flowers bloomed and many blown.  I went by myself but was definitely not alone.  The greenhouse was packed with what seemed like an elders field trip.  Moving about was a challenge but it left me time to really stop......and smell the flowers. :)

The elders waited patiently while I was laying on the floor for this one.

I wonder what next year will bring...

ANGEL HORSES

These are photos I took for the Angel Horses organization.  A wonderful, peaceful, welcoming place where therapy horses can retire.  There are so many therapy horses that have given so much of their lives and love to many with mental and/or physical challenges.  Angel Horses is a place they can go and be given to.  They receive rest, comfort and all the loving attention they could ask for.  This place gets me all warm and fuzzy.

Doc or Sonny?  Um.....I don't know them 'that' well.

I'm pretty sure this is his better side.

"Who's the cutest pony?"  Doogie

The horse whisperer was there that day.  It was amazing what she got this horse to do with her...just by asking nicely.

This was my little shadow while I was there.  She and I had fun together.

She was waiting for the fairies to come out of their house.

Katie, getting some lovin.

Not so sure about this horse thing.......

But Doogie wins them over every time.

PEACEFUL GRAZING EVERYONE!
