Thank you to Jet Blue for letting me fly down to Florida yesterday for very little money. I love their little secret fare sales, and I especially love their leg room. Most of all I adore the fact that I am not in NYC's below-30-degree weather, and am instead participating in the adorable lives of my family in Florida.

What I love about these photos is the fact that once you give kids some simple instructions, such as how to make the camera on a MacBook work, they can pretty much take over, make their own artistic choices and surprise you with their own expressions.

Lucy and Helen were in the drivers seat for these Photobooth shots. I could spend a century playing with kids, asking them questions, and listening to them get so excited when they see what they can do. Its one of the reasons I love having the chance to shoot for the Willie Mae Rock and Roll Camp for Girls, too! Girls are so wonderful. I hope to have some of my own someday soon.

snapshots of our glad tidings: enjoying time with family during an otherwise difficult time. grateful for the people i was born unto, and grateful for recent personal discoveries that could lead to new beginnings. thankful of course for pets, which you will see play a large part in our happiness. oh, and foods!

especially proud of this little cat who came down the turnpike with me and is allowing people to pet her and showing a great amount of personal growth from whence she was born unto the snow blower in my sisters' summer garage. go rubes!

also keeping this old magical mare comfortable during her last days. this is hard on the family but she is so loved. tomorrow is naomi's 15th birthday. yesterday she got up and was very excited by rory's visit. it was very sweet.
