Red... i heart faces challenge

This shot of our sweet girl from last summer....she was turning one and just about to walk,

which as you can see she was excited about!

I bought this outfit from the GAP's product

RED campaign (RED) raising $$ for the Global Fund to elimate AIDS in Africa

This outfit sat in her dresser long before she came home from Ethiopia (almost a year ago now!).

Here RED signifies hope for Africa...

Fiddlehead?

Why fiddlehead?

As I was becoming a mother, I discovered a fiddlehead in my backyard and was fascinated by it. Its natural uncurling form. How as it grows it reveals itself. The way the fiddleheads gather together like a family and grow outward. How the fiddlehead changes ever so quickly and blossoms into a fern before you know it. Just like time passing, before you realize it those fiddleheads are gone. That moment has passed. As I evolved into a mother I discovered my need to nurture the artist within. My love of art and photography grew and soon became a passion for capturing my life with my ever and quickly changing fiddleheads. Like the fiddlehead, we are special, unique and ever changing.
