Take a big deep breath and think about the aroma from lots of tulips.  Perhaps you’re thinking…but tulips don’t really have much of a fragrance!  True, but…did I happen to mention 15,000 tulips?  Yes, it’s that time of year again for the annual tulip festival at the West Side Community Garden.  Beautiful, warm, overcast day…picture perfect for photography and that aroma! Pure heaven!

Tomorrow I head for the farm and by the time I return all of these lovelies will be gone, but quickly followed by irises, bleeding hearts and more peonies.  It’s one huge candyland with a never ending supply of beauty all summer long!

This week be looking for a couple of updates…one, my discoveries of some very unique community gardens in the East Village AND two, my adventure to Philly to photograph in the Eastern State Penitentiary!  Plus I’m starting a new course this week about becoming best friends…with…guess who?  MYSELF!  Combined with photography, we’ll be honoring our memories, seeing our own beauty, thinking about our hidden dreams, and seeing where we are in the world.  Susannah Conway promises eight weeks of unravelling (and who doesn’t need a bit of unravelling once in a while?) and it would be my pleasure if you’d follow along with me!

Today is truly a wabi-sabi Saturday! 

I’m off for a day of photo shooting at the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia! 

Stay tuned for more!
