Soggy Weekend

Well, it has been quite a few days since I last blogged. It wasn't intentional, things just got crazy at the Howe residence. Tuesday and Thursdays my son has Tae Kwon Do, and this last Thursday I had a bit of running to do before I dropped him off. Sometimes when I have my camera I will take a different way to see if there is anything new to see and take photos of. We went straight onto a dirt road, which I don't usually do, but since it was mostly dry, I figured I haven't been this way why not try it. As we went down roughly 4 miles there was a seasonal road that I couldn't resist taking! The road started with a whole bunch of cats in the middle of the road, once we finally got the cats to move we were on our way down this winding path showing us natures beauty. Boy was I WRONG! This seasonal road was a dump site for peoples trash! The whole length of the road there was trash, furniture, bags upon bags of Garbage! I was so disgusted! Littering drives me nuts! What I can't understand is how can someone take a whole bunch of garbage bags and just dump them on the side of the road? Not one bag, not one piece of paper or McDonald's bags, etc, but months worth of trash! That is enough griping about that.

Friday I filled in for my husband at work because he left early in the morning to go to Grand Haven and get the boat in the water before My son and I came up after school. Jaden and I left at 4:10 and made to Grand Haven by 6:30. Shortly after we got here, we joined my husband for dinner. Then we started our soggy weekend at our boat! Saturday afternoon it started raining, and it hasn't stopped! In Grand Haven, they really mean April showers!

Recently I had a photo shoot that I mentioned in an earlier blog, Those photos are finished and I am working currently on the pictures where they modeled dresses for grunge photos. Here is an example of one. It is kind of a dark art, but I am infatuated with it. My other favorite is shooting dilapidated houses, and if I can combine the two that is a huge plus! Hopefully soon I will have some of those to share. Here is an example of the buildings and houses.

I have a really cool house waiting on my camera right now I just have to unload them. I try really hard to edit photos in order, but if I have a people shoot, they come before artistic shots. Here is a couple links to see some of my artistic photos: http://shortgirlnextdoor.deviantart.com and

Now I am going to go for a run since the sun is out for who knows how long and then get ready to head on home, it's been a long rainy weekend!
