Ohmmmm... My good pal Mary. We had a great time on Sunday morning taking pictures for her portfolio. She is a terrific yoga teacher and trainer. This is my 80 year old neighbor's backyard. Isn't it lovely! She leaves it until the forget-me-nots have finished blooming and then mows. A perfect backdrop. I really enjoyed myself taking the pictures, we had such fun. Lots of silliness.
I am thinking I would like to do some portfolios for people like this as a small business. It is something I really, really enjoy. Did I say really? Here she is smiling in my front garden:)
Later in the day, I went on the walk for Darfur, organized by a friend of my daughter's. It was a gorgeous day. I had a great time walking and chatting with Megan Leslie, the NDP Member of Parliament for Halifax. Learned some interesting and sad things about the situation in the Congo and innovative ways help the women there. There is much to do in this world.
Today will be a painting day. I have been neglecting my brushes.

Hi, Shelagh! Fabulous photos for your friend! :-)
Oh you are so right, those forget me nots are just lovely. A perfect carpet for your friends yoga poses. I love that second pic. I blogged about the penpal blog yesterday.

Wonderful photos! Those forget me nots are lovely...what a great backdrop.
I think you're on to something about photographing for small businesses. These are a great start to your portfolio for that idea.
Hi Shelagh

Love yoga and even better looking at your friend sitting in that pose in the amazing garden. Beautiful...I came from pat's place.
Oh, you could definitely do photography as a side business. Those pictures are lovely! Go for it!
I'm back - got interrupted by company. I wanted to comment on these beautiful pictures before I left your blog for today. I think this would be a great side business for you. You have such a talented vision in everything you do. I wish you could take such lovely pictures of me! These are just gorgeous and I bet your friend is thrilled!
