countdown begins/

Just a pretty and mentally relaxing image today since I am in the countdown to leaving for Europe on Thursday. Trip two to shoot the European book. This is the big trip. One to two houses a week for the next 9 weeks. It is gonna be good. Hope you all come along.  : )

the sounds of summer/part 2

Awhile back I was lamenting about how I missed the sounds of summer. In San Francisco, this summer has been really cold and foggy. Yes, I know... typical...but this year has seemed unusually bad (or my threshold low?).  An unexpected invite to a friends lake house rental has cured me of this craving for awhile. When I opened the car door after the drive from brooklyn, there it was...crickets! (I think I gasped.) I fell asleep to a fantastic bug serenade!

 The view was pretty nice as well as you can see. A perfect little rest before this intense week of shooting and meetings.
