This is my idea of a perfect way to spend a day …. being with friends and watching the waves roll in from the sea.

This is the first year that I’ve successfully grown Morning Glories – both from starter plants as well as seeds.  The rabbits have nibbled at the leaves, but the plants are still thriving.  Each morning I am greeted by these lovely pink and purple blossoms with delicate stems that twist around my metal trellis.

I haven’t been to a dog show since mid-April due to what I call ‘photography elbow’.  My doctor diagnosed it as ‘tennis elbow’, but the pain was actually caused by lugging around my big camera and zoom lens and straining my arm.  Back in March/April I was extremely busy and photographed at events every weekend for 8-10 hours per day.  My elbow finally gave out and the pain prevented me from lifting my camera or anything with even a little bit of weight.  I wasn’t even able to pick up a 1/2 gallon jug of water.  After a few months of R&R, my arm is much better and I’m hoping to be back at the shows later this month or in August.  I miss all of my dog show friends and will see you all soon!  (This blog photo is from the Harrisburg, Pa. shows in April 2014)
