Hello! My name is Jodie. I live in Minnesota where the temps can fluxuate by 20 degrees in one day. Most of my photos have been taken very close to my home, a 10 acre hobby farm., where I raise Alpacas and chickens. I am a band director, a musician/singer and a photographer/adviser on the yearbook committee. My camera of choice is a Nikon. I have a D90 and a D70. I also have a SB800 flash and favorite lens is Nikon 18-200mm AF-S, with VR. Revisiting the visual arts is something I should have done years ago. If I see something remarkable, I just try to capture it. Nobody else will ever see it quite that way again so I hope you try that, too. This is just like expensive therapy for us.  Thank you for visiting and may you have a peaceful day!Â

Ooooooh, Jodie... this is great and... exactly what I need right now : my life is very busy with a lot of meetings and travels and it would be fantastic to rest on this wonderful bench, with a book and looking at the trees ! (the light and shadows make it a very special corner) I'm delighted with your dedi; thank you so much my dear friend !

Yup, the Arboretum is a photograper's dream! An inviting spot and beautiful day to sit and contemplate. I think I've actually sat on that bench! But you're right there's so many...I can't really be sure.

Neat POV and lighting in this capture, Jodie. That reminds me, when I played football, the coach would bench me all the time. Anyway, arboretums are a great place to wander about, studying nature, and when you got tired, there was always a bench or a big rock to sit on.

I can see why you'd think of Michel. Lovely shot for him, Jodie. It looks like a wonderful place to sit and just breathe....Hope you both have a wonderful week! -M :^)
