A better photograph under natural light. At the moment I hand-craft all my chains for my necklaces. I like to be able to add colour and texture by wiring in stones to complement the focal.
I like the contrast between the very clear and sparkly lemon quartz and prasiolites and the opaque focal stones.

This statue of a boy "Springtime" was originally in Glasgow's Kelvingrove Park for an exhibition in 1949 but was moved subsequently to Glasgow Green (McPhun's Park portion).

We may be stuck in a deep freeze right now (fun fact, this is the longest stretch of cold February weather in Calgary since 1998) but that’s no reason you can’t warm up with some great ideas for anticipating springtime fun. Why not host a poker night with your buddies and get one of our beautiful Dream Girl poker dealers to liven things up? She’ll be the hit of the party, and you’ll be a hero to your friends!

Work half the number of repeats.
Work flat instead of in the round

Work only 2 repeats of the B chart
Finish with a crocheted picot bind off
All the yarn is handspun, 2ply sock weight, that I worked up on my spinning wheel. The orange fiber is a kool-aid dyed mix of angora, alpaca and soy. The red is a blend I bought of wool, sari silk and sparklies. I haven’t calculated the yardage I used yet.

These were taken using a Pentax 85mm f/2.2 Soft focus lens. It was designed to have a ton of under-corrected spherical aberration. As such, it's depth of field is extremely deep, even wide open (if you don't understand how this can be, ask and I'll try to explain, or point you to someone who has already said it well). I find if I focus close and let the back edge of what is in focus barely touch the subject, the background _finally_ drops away. Messing with the aperture, of course, adds another dimension of possibilities.
The real reason I wanted to write something in these comments/descriptions is that this Pentax lens came mounted with a Nikon F-mount bayonet. It's the only Pentax K-mount lens I've so far seen remounted this way. I don't know if Pentax made a series of Nikon F-mount (never heard of it before) or if this was just a very good job done in a shop somewhere.

I got canceled on this weekend not once but twice. Bands need to get their stuff together if they expect me to reschedule. With nothing to shoot, Beth suggested we go out and take Dominic's Easter pictures at the park down the street. It got pretty windy and he wasn't really happy, so we packed up and left with only a few shots I liked. It was great to finally get outside in the warmer weather, and I can't wait for summer.
Tell me what you think!

I know these flowers don't neccesarily bloom together or in spring, but for me spring is about bugs and blooms so I thought this was a nice combo :)

Welcome, sweet Springtime! We greet thee in song,
Murmurs of gladness fall on the ear,
Voices long hushed now their full notes prolong
Echoing far and near.
Sunshine now wakes all the flow'rets from sleep,
Joy-giving incense floats on the air;
Snow-drop and primrose both timidly peep,
Hailing the glad new year.
Balmy and life-breathing breezes are blowing,
Swiftly to nature new vigor bestowing.
Ah, how my heart beats with rapture anew,
As earth's fairest beauties again meet my view.
Sing then, ye birds: raise your voices on high;
Flow'rets awake ye! Burst into bloom!
Springtime is come! and sweet Summer is nigh,
Sing then, ye birds, O sing!

Pulmonarias, or lungworts, are perennials that bloom very early in spring and have interesting foliage from spring through fall. The leaves grow in basal rosettes and in some types are marked with silver-white splotches. The flowers may be blue or pink and in some cases start out pink and fade to blue, so both colors appear at once on the same plant.
