Last night Dale and I had the opportunity to meet Gale of She Shoots Sheep Shots for dinner. Gale and I have tried to meet before and it’s never worked out so I was really excited about finally getting to meet. I was not disappointed! Gale is smart and funny and full of great stories from her years as a photographer. We had an enjoyable evening of good food and even better conversation, confirming again my opinion that blogging has made my life so much better.
In the meantime, the tulips are just about dead.
But they are still pretty photogenic.
margene Said,
I’m a little envious about your dinner with Gale. Sorry I missed her at Rhinebeck. I need some tulips to brighten my world.
Manise Said,
Glad you finally got to meet. It’s funny how colorful dying tuips still are. My mother enjoyed drawing them before they bit the dust.
deb Said,
Yes – but was she tall?
I’m glad you got to meet a fellow blogger – it’s always so much fun to put a live face to a name isn’t it?
Vicki Said,
Oooooh, what fun for you! She’s so nice. I’m more than a little bit envious. I’ll bet that was a great time.
; )
Wool Winder Said,
Up close like that, the tulips are still pretty.
Beth Said,
Those are great pictures. I love how you caught the texture in the tulip!
Karen Said,
Even in dead the tulips are worth photographing. Very pretty.
Jean Said,
The pics are gorgeous! I missed your post about the Everyday Cardigan. It’s one of my favorite sweaters and I’m not even crazy about the Ballybrae yarn I used because it grows so much. I keep saying I’m going to knit another in a better yarn.
Glad you got to meet up with another blogger. It’s always fun.
LittleWit Said,
Sounds like a lovely evening. If you hadn’t mentioned the tulips were dying I probably wouldn’t have noticed. I am a bad botanist but the colors are so gorgeous!
Kirsten Said,
That last photo looks like a watercolor painting. Lovely.
Carrie Said,
Yeah, I kinda hope I look that good when I’m almost dead.
Joy Said,
Even nearly dead, the tulips would make a really neat colorway
Nora Said,
Fun! And cool pics!!
Cookie Said,
You lucky duck!
The tulips are still lovely. Ya know, I don’t look that good now.
xo
Robin in VA Said,
I’m green with envy! I’ve had the opportunity to meet several readers and am richer for it!
What a great photos…
sunflowerfairy Said,
I wish I knew that you two were meeting. I would have sent something (don’t ask me what, lol) along with her.
Or maybe I would have hopped in her camera bag and tagged along.
Leah Said,
So pretty! If that’s Thursday, I can’t wait to see Eye Candy Friday!
Karen Said,
Tulips look luverly!
Doris Said,
love your page and the fiber you’ve spun matches the tulips so well. Great job!
Sarah Said,
That is so beautiful. It makes me wonder what you have in store for tomorrow.
gale (she shoots sheep shots) Said,
That was a fun dinner! I told Dave next time he’s coming along.
( Did someone ask if I am tall?! Only online.)
Hillary Said,
Those pictures are gorgeous. It’s amazing how photogenic the tupils are as they wane.
Leslie Said,
How fun! And those tulips are gorgeous, even as they fade. Such color on the inside!
Sara Said,
Sounds like a wonderful dinner…and a fun time.
Love the photos! I can tell you are having much more fun with your camera lately!!!
