Lord He's Rambling Again

Those of you who have followed my blog for a while will remember my commenting way back in February, when I discovered Face Book, that I'd reconnected with some old friends from childhood. One of those friends, Daryl Lunsford, is now living in the great white North, they are snow covered at the moment anyway, of Illinois. Daryl is an extremely talented and very interesting fellow who has just started his own blog and I think you all would enjoy it tremendously. The title above is not a criticism but rather the title of his new online journal. He muses about growing up in small town South, all his many journeys and transformations over the years, and life in general and it is always entertaining and often laugh out loud funny...you know the kind of laugh where you snort what ever beverage you happen to be enjoying out your nose. I highly recommend the article entitled I Practically Majored in Corporal Punishment for producing such a response. I can guarantee that you will enjoy this one.

I'm working on the new website for The Tennessee Equestrian. I want the website finished before I really launch the magazine just so people can purchase ad space and listings through the website. I realized this past week how much I need to be working on my other website and my selling sites like Etsy, Red Bubble and Zazzle. So, I've been taking more photos but I still don't have them all posted or test printed (which I'm realizing more and more needs to be done especially on very large size prints. Anyhow, I'm still working on EVERYTHING and here is one example of just what I've been working on. A portrait of Riley entitled, Titian...for obvious reasons.

My 2010 calendar (see images below), Spirit Equus, is now available on Amazon.com!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

A surprising sight greeted us this morning, our first snow of the season. Sadly, it had all disappeared by sunset but this morning it was glorious and the horses were enjoying it...and so was I:D!

Calendars & Cards

I've designed several new calendars for 2010. There are lots of brand new images and photos as well as a few old favorites tossed in because I love them so much. These are currently available in my redbubble.com shop and my zazzle.com shop. I also have designed one independently which will be available on lulu.com (top image/preview).

I've also set up a shop at Greeting Card Universe. Most of my designs are still awaiting approval but should be ready to purchase within the next week. I only have six designs posted so far but will be adding more. Most are images from my photography but seasonal cards will be available.
