No posts since November, what the heck? Well of course it’s that little holiday that happens between November and January that gets me every year!  Christmas was fabulous and fabulously busy. In between the hustle and bustle of trying to get everyone’s orders delivered, I also embarked on a ridiculous quest of  assembling a NEW WEBSITE!!! I had lots of help from a friend so I really thought I could pull it off. It’s been “days away” from launching for several weeks. Well I work best under pressure so I’m jumping in and announcing it… My <font color="#ff0080">new website</font><font size="4"> WILL</font> be live on<font size="5"> MONDAY January 17th!!!</font></p> <p>With it comes an integrated blog ( that has not been fun learning to use), tons of new pictures, no more flash based website (so you iPhone lovers can actually look at my site from your phone), an updated pricelist (ok still not quite done) and a few other new features  (like tweetability, and facebooky stuff). My language is so technical, I crack myself up.</p> <p>I will post here one last time with details for those of you that are on my auto-email feature as a final reminder that you will have to come follow me on my new blog. My website and blog will be available  at the same old web address <a href="http://www.darlingimages.com">www.darlingimages.com</a> it will all just  look different.</p> <p>hhhmmmm, now for a picture with this post.<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/TS85dpAYy7I/AAAAAAAAB5c/IUlXhYvq-mU/s1600-h/GUS_2811%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="GUS_2811" border="0" alt="GUS_2811" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/TS85eCHOZiI/AAAAAAAAB5g/DSNe2Mz0UBc/GUS_2811_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="454" height="304" /></a></p> <p>A snake?

Apparently years ago they got engaged on this very bridge! Since it was quite late in the evening it was very dark and “all their pictures came out crappy”. So Fran requested that I take some photos of the bridge on my recent excursion. I love to have an assignment. I wish I were a more patient person because then I would have just ignored the request or even pretended to have forgotten till Dec 11th and then surprised Fran on her birthday. Obviously I’m not that patient, so here is your finished product(s). <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/TNRfyziCWVI/AAAAAAAAB4Q/w-KNL9SBrP4/s1600-h/GUS_7894%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="GUS_7894" border="0" alt="GUS_7894" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/TNRfzXp28UI/AAAAAAAAB4U/b8Cs4y0lM9w/GUS_7894_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="271" /></a> </p> <p>To get this amazing perspective of the bridge, we actually paid to climb the watch tower all the way to the top. We packed along, 2 cameras, a tripod, scarves, gloves and everything  just before sunset so we would be setup and ready to go at the perfect time.</p> <p><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="GUS_7911" border="0" alt="GUS_7911" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/TNRfzykpZTI/AAAAAAAAB4Y/_ouiVIxmE9k/GUS_7911_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="304" height="204" /> </p> <p>This is just as the sun was starting to go down.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/TNRf0t193RI/AAAAAAAAB4c/Kx2W8Q0kAcQ/s1600-h/GUS_7913%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="GUS_7913" border="0" alt="GUS_7913" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/TNRf1Lm6TdI/AAAAAAAAB4g/r2_saU6bjRE/GUS_7913_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="604" /></a> </p> <p>You can see the warm evening sun starting to reflect off the Prague Castle on the hill.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/TNRf1tyntrI/AAAAAAAAB4k/f0Q-NVKsESw/s1600-h/GUS_7917%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="GUS_7917" border="0" alt="GUS_7917" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/TNRf2APmJbI/AAAAAAAAB4o/9yJQbAPN_mY/GUS_7917_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="271" /></a> Now the sun has dipped below the horizon and the lights of the city have turned on.

I flew to Germany to visit my sister, and then together we flew to Switzerland to visit her sister in law. Meike is the most gracious hostess and it is always a treat to see her. We went for a photowalk through her village and here is your eye candy from that.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/TLoULlCki8I/AAAAAAAAB0g/-15dWWZdAW8/s1600-h/D20_3331%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="D20_3331" border="0" alt="D20_3331" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/TLoUL-60qpI/AAAAAAAAB0k/owG_ilzf2-A/D20_3331_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="137" /></a> Kudos to my Sister Quinn for this amazing shot.

More so on the “fieldtrip” days than on the “sitting in front of  the computer for hours on end” days. This last weekend we had a workshop in Moab and it was so beautiful to be outside.  All the red rock, the perfect weather, having my camera and time to shoot anything that caught my eye. We had a model that we could work with or we could wander a bit on our own. Here are a few pictures from Saturday night.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/TKto0UzrtMI/AAAAAAAAB0A/uuj42lUjyGE/s1600-h/GUS_6648%20-%20Copy%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px;

Yeah, I know, it’s been awhile.  So the question that gets me is do I fill in the gap or just press forward from where I am?  SUCH a crazy, busy summer with many changes. </p> <p>The one with the biggest impact on our family is that we no longer have Chris (our foster son) .  He moved out the last week of July. Three good years, lots of memories and a laugh that will echo in my ears for many years to come.  All good things  come to an end right? I guess it just caught us off guard.  He is with a new family and doing well.  Enough about that, it makes my heart ache.</p> <p>For my loyal fans that have told me not to throw in the blog towel, thank you. It’s always nice to be missed.  And this blog  is the only semblance of a journal my posterity will have.  So I guess its worth it.</p> <p>Your reward for looking today is this picture…<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/TJozkMKCIvI/AAAAAAAABv8/2eoMGqW3sXI/s1600-h/GUS_5862%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="GUS_5862" border="0" alt="GUS_5862" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/TJozk6ULVuI/AAAAAAAABwA/ZWuzYWMvL88/GUS_5862_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="271" /></a> </p> <p>As recent as you can get.

Run the Sky is Falling (aka Anthony Darling and Nic Fitzgerald) They were leads in Beauty and the Beast about a year ago and have continued to colaborate on their love of music ever since. This is a clip of their official first performance under this name. Please forgive the ridiculous looks of my children as they didn't realize I was video taping with my camera and apparently were quite disturbed by me holding my camera in place for that long. whatever.<br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwIRyO9hptam9i7aH5HZCjHysJO3KgAg3WchwxCrjWCcWvBNbSUThwKBW1kEkW4u8Y8ZDpHckbo2gV5u9L9qg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br />Great job guys!!</div>Gustihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13859186843950524682noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3657033640451514917.post-51550595279438702682010-06-21T11:07:00.001-07:002010-06-21T11:07:39.629-07:00They Made It!<p><font color="#ffff00" size="4" face="Keelhauled BB">Welcome Exchange Students of 2010</font></p> <p><font color="#ff00ff" size="4"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/TB-qT17T0QI/AAAAAAAABu8/7uOVLiCO55g/s1600-h/GUS_3376%5B2%5D.jpg"><font face="Keelhauled BB"><img style="border-right-width: 0px;

And watched in horror as that spot continued to grow outward in a perfect round bump that felt more annoying than the eyelash. Then throughout the day yesterday the bump smoothed out leaving this ugly red patch. I seriously look like someone punched me… I almost wish they had.  At least the story would be more believable and exciting to tell.</p> Gustihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13859186843950524682noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3657033640451514917.post-60491447818030390702010-05-19T10:57:00.001-07:002010-05-19T10:57:34.856-07:00What's better than owning a Boston?<p>Having two Bostons to play with! <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/S_QmeDkiiII/AAAAAAAABs8/nQdYdifovvk/s1600-h/IMG_0158%5B7%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="IMG_0158" border="0" alt="IMG_0158" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/S_QmejbonPI/AAAAAAAABtA/Ormc-pHHpYk/IMG_0158_thumb%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="537" /></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/S_QmfKQ-tHI/AAAAAAAABtE/PME4A8YCDg0/s1600-h/IMG_0161%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="IMG_0161" border="0" alt="IMG_0161" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/S_QmfidQHpI/AAAAAAAABtI/xXEGYRcyjwc/IMG_0161_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="254" height="337" /></a></p> <p>Introducing Mattie.  A brindle Boston Terrier.

No I’m not talking about Bella. Look closely. The cell phone in hands and the “am I in trouble smile”.  Caught texting during a meal. Typically punishable by loss of phone.

I had an amazing post in mind (including slideshows and tear provoking music) but instead my attention was needed elsewhere. And such is life- plans change or paths get altered. I do the best I can…one day at a time… just like my MOM!  SO here is my much simplified tribute.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/S-hwyQfw0BI/AAAAAAAABqk/x4F8cS4GL8U/s1600-h/MenMom135%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="MenMom135" border="0" alt="MenMom135" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/S-hw2AO_OCI/AAAAAAAABqo/ENUQzl0Wfl8/MenMom135_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="604" /></a> </p> <p>I love this picture of us. I love that I am holding her hand as she has so often been there to hold mine. I love how beautiful she is and that people might even say we look alike. I like what we are wearing, each in our own style and yet complimentary. When I found this picture I wondered why I didn’t have it on prominent display somewhere in my house? And then remembered that it had once been on my list of to do’s but along with many items on my daily list, this goal had not been realized. But you see I have this picture in my heart and in my mind. The image of my mother is etched in my soul, even more beautifully than she looks here. So I forgive myself and continue  to do my best, one day at a time, just like my mom.</p> Gustihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13859186843950524682noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3657033640451514917.post-17495057999284341532010-05-06T12:18:00.001-07:002010-05-06T12:18:44.349-07:00Bella Ballerina<p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/S-MWBUj1mkI/AAAAAAAABqA/_tfJUIkAGl0/s1600-h/GUS_4685%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="GUS_4685" border="0" alt="GUS_4685" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Fa94Wy3-BaA/S-MWCGq3tiI/AAAAAAAABqE/MX8NP68ppOA/GUS_4685_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="271" /></a> </p> <p>So I took these pictures in January with the intention of ordering a photo purse…</p> <p>Here it is May and I still haven’t ordered it.
