Lilies and Rain – pictures from yesterday
It’s raining here in Portland where I work and it seems that the lilies are, hopefully, late to bloom – versus not blooming at all this year. So I have dug into the photos from the past years to share some lilies with raindrops. I think they are especially pretty with raindrops as it brings out the colors. Then my favorite part is the pixy dust (or pollen) on them. Enjoy!
(P.S. You can purchase my photo book on lilies here. In addition, there are some photos of lilies in my book Flowers For Your Coffee Table and Tisha Clinkenbeard Photography Portfolio.)
Friday Fun: A Happy Mashup of Delightful People & Random Things
Back when I launched this site in 2008, I used to do a weekly round-up of victory garden-themed stories that appeared in the news. Now that I've broadened topics at RedWhiteandGrew.com, I want to bring back the mashup biweekly at least, on Fridays.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Simple
Since I like the topic of this week’s challenge I am participating again. The topic is “simple”. It just happens I have a portfolio photo named Question Of Simplicity so it seems apt to share it for the challenge this week. I hope you enjoy!
Since it is a photo in my portfolio you can also order it from RedBubble, FineArt America, and my Facebook page shopping tab. Of course, you can also contact me if you would like to order it. It does appear in my portfolio book on Blurb.
More winter birds
The last photo I posted a few days ago seemed to really capture some attention and I have a few more that I truly love! (Forgive me if I’ve posted them on here before. They also appear in my portfolio book on Blurb.)

It’s a dog’s life – part 2
In my previous post of It’s a dog’s life I also mentioned in the comments that Cedar was the ring bearer at our wedding. One of my readers expressed an interest in seeing that. My long-time friend, blogger extraordinaire, and journalist, Pamela Price, talked about the wedding in the Daily Yonder as With a Blue Heeler as Ring Bearer. I have to give credit to Pamela and another friend of many years, Lisa Stahl, for all the pictures of Cedar at the wedding – I was a little busy being the bride and didn’t take any at all. Here are a few that I don’t believe appear in Pamela’s article, too.

Trio of Dogwood – pictures from yesterday
In our large front lawn there stands a dogwood, a favorite of my late mother-in-law (whom I did not have the blessing of knowing her except thru her children and grandchildren). Last year I happened to capture it over the 3 notable seasons: Spring, Fall and Winter. Enjoy!!

San Diego Fires of 2008 – a picture from yesterday
I happened to be in San Diego during the fires of 2008 and captured this look at downtown San Diego from the Hilton in the harbor. Mind you that those brown clouds are not a result of sepia – those are from the smoke.

Glacier Reflected – a picture from yesterday
Another day of travel calls for a picture that soothes the soul – an amazing fall day on my honeymoon with my wonderful husband. The beauty of nature amazes and blesses me! The reflection of the glacier and mountains in the water is gorgeous.
Enjoy!

Zen remembered
Because I reallllly need some zen chill today after traveling for work, Here are a couple of my pictures that remind me of relaxing times with my hubby. A reminder that life is good and I am truly blessed even on the worst of evenings.
An evening on the deck – picture from yesterday
Though I’m a few hours early – this reminds me of my mood tonight – a night listening to the critters, enjoying the company, and relaxing, thanking God for the blessings in my life.

My new photo book available from Blurb now!
So excited to introduce my new photo book - Nature’s HD - available from Blurb now! I’ve also entered it into the Photography Book Now contest for 2010.
It is dedicated to Shannon Clinkenbeard, my husband-to-be. It shows you some of my flower photos and has some narrative to share my thoughts on the photos and hopefully give you a jumping off spot for your own imagination!
Thank you all for the inspirations and support as I have worked on it. I’m also excited to do this again!
