So I returned home from five days camping on the coast, to find that my Day Trippin’ lens about Smith Rock State Park had been awarded a purple star. I like the color purple, but I really like that purple star. Thanks to whoever submitted the lens. I appreciate the Attagirl, because it was fun sharing one of my favorite spots with all of you.

This Day Trippin’ series has just begun. If you like traveling by proxy, stay tuned. I have two WIP lenses waiting in the wings…one on Crater Lake, and the other on the coastal region.  I took this sunset photo at Heceta Head around 8:20 p.m.

Glad to be back, and I’m eager to catch up on Squidlog and also check out new lenses that launched while I was away.

I’ve been anticipating Spring for months. I could almost smell the sunshine-warmed earth even when snow still frosted our valley and March mornings welcomed us with icy windshields. Sometime during my bout with the flu, Winter danced away and Spring settled into my backyard.

In celebration of Spring, I’ve updated a lens that showcases some of my favorite nature photos. My Zazzle Gallery Showcase is so much more than a lens about a Squidoo-Zazzle connection. It’s a snapshot of my passionate love for nature photography, and a call to take a closer look at your own little corner of the world. I chose samples of my photomontage work to whet your appetite for the outdoors, and to share how photography isn’t just photography anymore. For every photo, there’s the possibility of making art beyond the snap of a shutter.

Enjoy my new collection of art…and get out there and enjoy the beauty of Spring for yourself!
