Sorry, No New Pics =(

Well, to start off with, I know it's been quite some time since I have posted anything new.  I was just so busy with work, that I didn't get chance to get out there and take any.  But now that I have some free time, I should be getting some....actually quite a few!

Now on to the best news of the year so far.....I am getting one of my photos published in the Eugene, Coast, Cascades Visitors Guide!!!!  It will be published in by the end of March.  I was so excited when I found out....and still am amazed at how it just came around like it did.  And then there's an opportunity to have another of my photos made into a banner for a local winery, Lone Oak Vineyards.  It will be for their show at the Newport Seafood and Wine Festival at the end of this month.  We shall see how it turns out.  I'm hoping fantastic!!!!  =)

The plan for this weekend is to see a band in Eugene and probably take some pics while I am there.  A member of the band is a friend of mines cousin, I am sure that she would appreciate some photos of her.  Hopefully I can get some decent ones, I have a real hard time taking photos indoors.  Then it's off to ND for 10 days!!!! Will probably be cold as heck, but fun as well.  Anyway, in 10 days, I should get TONS of photos to share.  After that, a concert at the end of March.  BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!!

Then, bring on Spring and Summer!!!  I can't wait for it to be light late so that I can really get out there and get some shots.  The days are so short during the Winter.  Hiking, camping, and exploring, here I come!!! Plus, the weather is a lot nicer and it a little more fun to get out there.  No big plans for Summer....yet. I am just sort of "going with it".  But FUN is definitely on the menu.

So, that's the news for now.  Promise to get some shots soon. Hope everyone is enjoying their new year and may the rest be just as grand!

As Usual......BUSY!

Hey!  It's been a while!  I have been so busy these days.  So much going on, it's hard to keep up with it all.

Work is getting busier, now that it is closer to the holiday season.  Overtime will be working it's way in there soon!  =(  ( $$$$$  =)  ) Mixed emotions on the whole thing as you can see.  Then there is always the dog grooming bits that I do and the house cleaning that I do, and the other photo gig that is still in the works.  Need to call him soon also and set up plans for all that.  We've had one meeting so far, but the official one hasn't come around yet.  On top of all that, I still have to have time with my own dog and myself!  WHEW!!!!  Busy lady!

I don't mind it too much.....what else is there to do to fill my time......t.v.?  No way, I will keep doing what I am doing.

I got a couple new pics posted in the NATURE album and the CRITTERS album.  Check'em out!!!  I will try to be a little better at this whole blog posting thing.   Sometimes, I just can't find the time to sit down get it done.   But I will make an attempt to do so.  Winter is coming though....and there will be a LOT of time spent up in the mountains, so the blog may have to wait at times.

But I promise, I will be back and posting like crazy all of the winter wonderland that I will discover while out on my snowboard!!!!  

=)

Name Change

Hey there everyone.  Just giving you all a heads up that I have changed the name of my photography to BLW Photography. I just figure it makes more sense to have it that way, with my initials, than another name.  Plus I noticed that there is another Blue-Eyed Photography out there.....I would like to be an individual!  Don't mind the watermarks with Blue Eyed Photography on them, that was the old name and don't want to delete the ones that are posted.  Just keep in mind that BLW Photography is the same as Blue Eyed Photography.  Anywho, that was all really.  Been pretty busy with work.  I went out to Lone Oak Vineyards in Monroe, OR last weekend and took some photographs of their wine harvest for the year.  They want some for their website so I was invited to come out! It was great and so much fun, I had never been to a vineyard before, so needless to say it was interesting.  Oh, and today I was asked to take photographs for a gentleman who lives nearby of his jewelry that he makes.  He wants to put a catalog together and use the photos I take for it!  I am just getting quite popular with this whole photography thing......AND I LOVE IT!!!!  Well, that's all for now.  Hope everyone has a fantastic Halloween! Be safe out there!

NEW PHOTOS

Just wanted to let everyone know that there are new photos in the albums.  Check them out!  More to come later.  But for right now, check out...

~Mountains
~Miscellaneous
~Water
~Animals


I also got asked to take family photos for a friend of mine.  I was quite surprised!  We will see how it goes.  I haven't focused much on people portraits.  Should be interesting....and at least she is a friend of mine, so I shouldn't get too harassed if they don't turn out very well.

Ooops! Sorry....

Sorry everyone.  I have been so busy with everything that I got a little distracted with my blog.  Now that I am back into it, we'll start with this....being that it sort of has to deal with the same thing as the last entry....
 another dog has been found.  :(  What the heck is wrong with people?!  Either the dog doesn't have a collar and isn't microchipped or there is a collar, with no tags and still isn't chipped! This time the dog is a Golden Retriever mix, older, and very sweet.  She is just the best dog and I have no idea why she was running in the highway.  I have posted fliers and she is now safely at the vet clinic nearby.  But she tonight is her last night there, they just don't have the room and she can't stay, so someone needs to pick her up and take her to the shelter if no one claims her.  So sad!  :(  Hopefully someone will call before she is picked up.

Anyway, on a happier note, I've been busy with work, as usual.  But I have also been going camping on the weekends.  It's been quite fun. I also have been to a show at the Cuthbert, well, not really at the show, just sat outside and listened with a couple of friends.  It was great!  Had a nice picnic dinner and everything!  Also been busy taking the dog to the creeks and rivers for swim time.  He sure does love it....now that he knows what he is dong.  

I will be going to a friends wedding here next weekend, so look for pictures....I am trying to take some more photos of people and get that darn lighting down.  It sure is difficult, I think portraits are the hardest out of all the things I have tried.  But the wedding should be good and the reception should be fun, even if the photos don't turn out.  Good thing I wasn't hired for that, just taking them as a guest.

Other than that, that's about it.  Been taking a lot of pictures, of everything, some turn out and some don't.  I will be posting a few here, so check out the albums....

Oh, and here is a photo of the dog that was found...I wish there was more that could do, but there just isn't.....

Busy Busy!

Well, I guess it has been a while since I blogged last.  I have just been busy with work and the yard.  I went to a concert the other night.  It was fantastic!  You can't beat a band that sounds just like they do on CD!  I mean, what a show!  They even played for a good 4hrs or more.  I was quite surprised.  After the show, on the way home, a friend of mine and I found a Border Collie running around in the middle of the road....being the good Samaritans that we are we stopped and picked him up.  Actually, he picked us up, all I had to do was whistle and say "come here"  and he just followed the truck til I stopped.  Then I got out and he came right to me, licked my face and jumped in the truck!  Can you believe it!? Fliers have been posted about him and hopefully his owners will come find him.  He is such a good dog!  Wish I could keep him, but I can't, already have a handful with my own dog, Lucas.  Here are a few photos of him, we went for a walk today.  HE HAD A BLAST!.....Oh, and check out my albums, there are new photos in there, too.

What a day!

What a day!  First it starts with going to work....I know....work, blah, blah, blah.  After work, I had to go to town to an appointment to get my hair cut!  I haven't gotten my hair cut...by a professional....in quite some time, and I was well overdue for a change. So I went and did it!  It felt great!  On my way into town, I saw a coyote!  I had to stop and try to get some pics of it.  So, I turned around, parked on the side of the road and walked up a ways so that I could see him.  To my surprise, he was very mild....I mean, he was walking right towards the road at one point...with traffic just flyin' by and he didn't seem to care one bit.  I believe he was hunting for field mice or something.  I saw him pounce on something, and I so wish that I could have gotten him in action, but what I got will do.  Anyway, just wanted to share with everyone the action I saw today.  Be sure to check out the animals album as well, there will be a couple more of him in there!
