Hope your Valentine's Day has been as wonderful as ours..... I never really liked Valentine's Day - too commercial, too contrived, and with all the social pressure placed on guys it was difficult to know if he really cared about me, or if he just felt guilted into buying something. This year, however, I am married. I got flowers and a sassy new wallet and the everyday joy of waking up beside my sweet husband. I didn't know I would like this so much. *^_^*. Love is or it ain't. Thin love ain't love at all. - Toni Morrison

Tatsuya was here from Japan, so we were able to continue our Cranberry-Sue series and I re-shot Kaz and Cranby..... *^_^* I apologize for leaving my dear blog for so long - taxes are eating up my time like Cranberry-Sue gobbles up her kibble. And I got an IPod for my birthday from my lovely parents-in-law and husband, necessitating vast amounts of time spent playing with it. We've had our dear friend Tatsuya visiting from Osaka. We certainly managed to squeeze a lot of activity into 3 days. We'll miss you, Tatsuya! (See you in 4 months at our wedding.) These are some of my recent shots. I've got to get more practice with that lensbaby...
