I had the great fortune to photograph this barn owl at the Center for the Bird’s of Prey near Charleston last year. It just really captured my attention!

It is such a creative kick to be around your peers and like-minded people. We get so much energy from each other to go straight home and start producing new artworks. Reality does settle in a little; there are all the little details that need to be taken care of after a week away. Such as; bills, emails, inventory, getting work back to galleries, etc, you get it. Then there are the BIG things like the need/promise to finally tackle my website and get it finished!!! I have spent many hours this past week trying to do just that. It seems that every which way I turn there is another problem or something I do doesn’t show up, or I just don’t like how it is working out. I am working with a WordPress theme and there are limitations to the theme that are really bugging the ex-(never just ex) graphic designer in me. I even looked at starting all over in Quark Xpress today, but I have no clue how long that would take me…

So I am going to soldier on through my current theme and get it as workable as possible. I will be welcoming any feedback, good or bad, as to how easy or hard things seem to be. In the meantime, I will try to remember the energy from South Carolina, and leave you with a serene photo from early one morning at the South Pond.

I saw this scene on a family trip to Yellowstone Park. I was photographing my sister-in-law and nephew dipping their feet into the warm, thermal waters of the Firehole River. I looked in the opposite direction to find this pair of canada geese; seeming to say, ‘this is our spot on the river, find your own’!

]]> http://leahyraddingart.com/?feed=rss2&p=1065 0 New Website/New baby llama http://leahyraddingart.com/?p=1008 http://leahyraddingart.com/?p=1008#comments Thu, 30 Jun 2011 13:28:52 +0000 KLR http://leahyraddingart.com/?p=1008 You may notice the new look of my website! I have changed it over to a WordPress blog theme for photographers/artists/,etc. I built my old site in Adobe GoLive; a pretty clunky program to use. I have gotten so used to the WordPress world with the yarn website that I figured I would update and work on my art website a lot more if it was a WordPress site. So here it is! I am still working through some issues, but I think I have it mostly figured out. Now I just have to start adding art to all the galleries. Any comments would be appreciated!

And another new item; our baby llama we were waiting for. She was born on June 4th while I was away at the Maine Fiber Frolic, so her name is Frolic. She is friendly, healthy little soul, who tries to get the two yearling girls to play with her. Sometimes she is successful!

I am having trouble with my jpeg photos not showing up… I’ll post as soon as I can get it to work. I have been spending HOURS with issues on all the websites… I am going up to the studio to PAINT!
