Why did the tortoise cross the road?

I don't know but he sure was huge!

Wysteria

Didn't realize that I had this unique shot taken a few weeks ago until this morning.  Sometimes the est or most unique pictures come from taking multiple non-stop shots.

Through the window

Every picture that I take of Dusty through a window she always looks so pretty, maybe that's because she is!

The clover patch

Spring is full of so many marvelous things, isn't it?
I found a four leaf clover once, I'll scan it in later!

Morning Glory

There's something about the sun reflecting on water that is simply breathtaking.

Reliance

Mom needed a few minutes at the post office
Ice this morning to get some cards mailed so I took advantage of the opportunity to take a picture of the truck that carries our mail during the week.  (On weekends there is always/usually a sub.)   Our mail has been coming to us in this old truck for as long as I can remember. 
Dusty doesn't mind the mail man, or the ups/fed-ex couriers, the mail man carries a bag of dog biscuits well within arms reach...
Of course our mail box is far enough away from the house that Dusty only goes up there when she's on a leash with me tagging along. :-)
This old truck has a little rust in places and even a hole in the fender above the front left tire. But it's tried and true and to me, that's better than untested and new.
I appreciate being able to rely on something/one and I cherish the respect and feeling of being relied on.

Designing for Charity

Pretty much the entire time I've been working in graphic design I've had a few 'charity' projects.  One and basically the first kinda got pulled out from under me without any notice.  That didn't stop me though!  Today, I edit/design/manage two websites and handle everything from the graphics and layouts to the weekly updates.
An author who's series of books about an all girls spy school holds annual contests for t-shirt design.  Last year was (I thought/feared) my last year to enter because the age limit was 21, the contest ended in early November and I was to turn 21 November 29th.  Much to my excitement this years contest is open to all ages & rather than a prize going to a winner there will be a $200 donation to the Red Cross and a portion of the proceds will be donated as well.  So the bragging rights are up for grabs, the theme is "Gallagher Girls helping their sisters around the world" (the school is The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, hence Gallagher Girls)
So far, this is my design -which still needs a little tweeking but the way I create new designs is 1) idea 2) putting the concept together and 3) tweeking the design so it's just right...
The two main things that will be tweeked from this concept are a few alignment issues and the ally carter, ally carter center text will be made a bit smaller and the bottom one will read allycarter.com (author & authors wesite)
