I love Etsy. For those of you still in the dark, Etsy is a handmade marketplace where you can find all kinds of crafty goodness straight from the crafter’s hands. I cannot get enough. In fact, I have to limit my time on Etsy. One second I’m minding my own business and the next minute it’s two hours later and I have 8 new items in my cart.

1. I took this picture on my way home from class in 2001. I was in a web design program at BU, killing time while I was unemployed during the dotcom slump. It was a gorgeous day, and I loved this part of my ride home – the leaves would swish back and forth as my car drove by.

2. I took this for a "pattern" assignment in a photo class I recently took. It's the reflection of the house siding on my car. The teacher liked it so much he made a print for me.

3. I took this one while in Vegas for Janet's 50th birthday. It was a garden inside the Gellagio.
 

4. I have a thing for trees and leaves. I especially like to photograph the sun coming through the leaves.

5. This was taken on a weekend in Falmouth. I love twilight.

6. Last mother's day – taken at the Arnold Arboreum Lilac Mother's Day. I love bleeding hearts. They remind me of my mom's gardening.

7. Taken on a photo excursion at Parker's Maple Barn with Janet. I think she has an identical picture.

8. Jimbo and I went to Boston for the weekend last year and stayed in a new hotel in Rose Wharf. I had some fun with macro here.

9. One of my favorite pictures of my kitties.

10. Taken in Ogunquit

11. From a garden in San Francisco, not too far from the Golden Gate Bridge. I love the femininity of this one.

12. Out taking pictures with Janet at Parlee Farms. They had so many flowers!

13. Another weekend in Boston for Jimbo and I. We're making our way through all of the Boston hotels This is in the Elliot Hotel. Awesome hotel, amazing bed! Excellent breakfast in bed.
