a new piece

So this week has been kind of an awkward week.. Lot's of strange things happening. Anyways, so inspired by the weirdness of the week, I drew some inspiration and finished a new piece that has been tempting me for some time now. I think that sometimes when a person is kind of frustrated with different emotions -- something interesting can come out of it. I don't have a name for it yet... but I will soon. Anyways here it is..

In the trees

Playing peekaboo around these two trees, Charlotte just kept smiling and smiling. I would chase her in circles around them, she figured out how to start climbing them too! She is so much!

Few more from Janesville

These are a few more pics from Janesville, of Charlotte, the small dog Carley, the large dog is actually a DINGO with one brown eye, one blue eye, named Maggie... and my Maternal Aunt Terri, and her house.

Janesville Family Shots:

The Rotary Botanical Gardens- Janesville

pics from my trip :)

so... went back down south for a few more days, did a little bit of house hunting and job searching and spent some more time with the relatives of course! Anyways we found out that Janesville, WI (about 30 min from Madison) has a beautiful place called the Rotary Botanical Gardens. Well I took my camera in there and had a ton of fun, it is 20 acres of pure nature... just beautiful scenery. Silly me, in my hurry to get back down south I forgot a memory card and my charger so in the first 20 minutes at the gardens, my camera battery dies and I miss the best shots :(. I will be back down there though, hopefully in the winter to get some snow shots at the gardens! Alright so heres some shots from my 2nd trip :

Charlotte... (we had to stop for lunch on the way down there) (its a 4 hour drive) and a "shortcut" took us 2 hours longer than it should have been... note to travelers: most states have DETOUR MAPS at their traveling INFO places... pick them up before you find a "shortcut" that turns out to be a pain in the ***. :)
So here is Charlotte eating a sandwich in her diaper... (we had a diaper change and she refused to put her pants on before we started eating..)
