Existence: Beauty, Religion, and Life http://wp.me/p1zY3O-24

I am driven. I am determined. I want to be the best I can be. I want to learn as much as possible. I want to accomplish as much as possible. I want to be great. I often find myself counting the minutes, thinking, what could I be doing instead of this?… [ 549 more words. ]

I may be tired, but I can't stop editing my backlogged shots.... I have a problem, methinks.

Lord, guys, I've FINALLY finished editing those blasted beach photos. I'm way too tired to think about posting all of them/doing a blog tonight, so maybe I'll get around to that tomorrow, or this long weekend. Here's one final one, till then, from the evening after Hurricane Arthur.

This is what happens when I get bored. Colors happen. Straight out of camera on the left, finished product on the right. Experimental, yes. I like it now; we'll see how it sticks.

I'm slowly mucking my way through these backlogged photos. Chester's improving; it seems the least severe of all the options. This peacock was certainly celebrating this news with me. He thought it was Mardis Gras (shh, don't tell him it's not. He's sensitive).

Chester isn't feeling well! Thus far, we're not sure what's wrong as so far all tests come back negative, but the current options are a hidden bladder infection, hidden kidney stone, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, or a tumor.

In honor of the now consistently rising vet bills, I'm having a clean off my walls clearance! Everything is 25% off, starting with one of my most popular prints of one of the Lipizzaner Stallions from Vienna, as a 16x20 foam core mounted and framed print. This has looked absolutely lovely above my fireplace (and originally my couch). Originally $180, on sale now for $135!

This is a quick announcement post; I will post better photos of all I have in stock later on.

There are now two copies of this photo hanging in homes. Here's the one at my parents' house!

Late night sungold tomato roasting (iPhone only shot).

I didn't take a real picture due to having dealt with a thrown lower back all day. Ugh. But I did manage to talk myself into cooking my chicken livers. I adapted slightly Marc Vitroni's Rigatoni with Chicken Livers, Cipollini Onions, and Sage from his book Rustic Italian Food. It's a winner! If you're looking to try offal (organ meat), this is a wonderful jumping point. Perks of eating liver/offal: it's SUPER cheap (even at the farmers market it's generally $3-5/lb - cheaper than ground beef) and 10x as nutritious as regular meat.

I've started the process of sorting photos from Myrtle Beach. I keep remembering this photo while I go through it -- the rainbow comes *after* the storm. I'll keep sloshing through!

The other week, thanks to Saveur's food blog awards, I discovered {local milk} and fell in love with her styling and photography. This post spoke to me and my heart... and so did the recipe. http://localmilkblog.com/2012/05/ricotta-blueberry-tart-with-honey-lemon-lavender.html

ricotta & blueberry tart with honey, lemon & lavenderMay 24th, 2012I love a strange bird. He dislikes bacon, strawberries, popsicles, hollandaise, whip cream, stone fruits, pears, apples, and mushrooms. He also dislikes blue jeans, the internet, and suntans preferring instead tailored slacks, Romant…
