June 24, 2012 Samson loved going to Youth Camp! We just got back from a week at our annual Sappony Youth Camp, where our tribal member youth come together to have fun and learn more about their heritage. The camp is held at Mayo Lake every year and this year, Samson came along. He just loved the kids and was wonderful (and obedient) all week long. Had fun swimming after his frisbee while the kids were canoeing and camping, too! I took this shot at the Mayo Lake Education Building while we were watching the kids work on their craft projects. And now we are both happily exhausted and covered with bug bites.
June 3, 2012 dsc7520 I've been working on some quilt photos for an anthology project coordinated by one of my writer friends. It's to be an ebook about August and then in print. This image is part of a quilt that a co-worker loaned me to photograph. She found it balled up under her husband's mother's sofa. It has a date of 1893 sewn into it and is in terrible shape but it has a lot of character.
May 20, 2012 Today, I have no energy to play with images like I usually do. Why? I don't know. I have been seized by lethargy. http://www.karastewartaip.blogspot.com/ So today's image, which is actually an image from almost a month ago, has had a little crop and auto tone adjust. And that is it. It's actually an image from almost a month ago and I wanted to be sure to get at least one in from this amazing place. At the end of April, my good hearted, patient, dog-loving friend Randi made me come with her to a fabulous place in Bahama, NC. It is a specialty nursery called Architectural Trees. http://www.archtrees.com/ Architectural Trees has all sorts of nooks and crannies, specialty trees and unique items, pick your own blueberries and so many interesting vistas. I am so glad I went with Randi.
