Big News!

I have some big news to share, although not photography related.... Last week on a nighttime snowshoe hike to the top of Porky Point at Levis Mounds, my boyfriend proposed to me! I said yes, once I stopped stuttering.

Since this is a photography blog (and I am a big dork) I thought I would practice getting some ring shots with my own ring! I was a little nervous, since the snow is pretty deep and my fingers were getting cold, but no panic situations arose. The hoar frost was a perfect backdrop.

 He took his design idea and had it made by jeweler and artist Bob Giede in Menominee. It suits me perfectly, I love it!

Greening Up My Day!

It is really gray in Central Wisconsin today. Grayer than yesterday, as well as colder, wetter, and damper. It is one of those days where one should stay in bed napping or watch movies and drink hot chai tea. Since I can't be in those cuddly situations, I made a mosaic of greens to look at today to get me through the day. Soon the grass will be green again...

You can make your own mosaic at  bighugelabs.com/mosaic.php. You can either use photos from your desktop, facebook or flickr sites. I used photos from my flickr.com site.
