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!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. You are so very sweet to remember my birthday. Thank you so much, Jodie! And wow, what a gorgeous capture. It's wonderful!!! And I just love your words about not hiding behind my petals. That's so cute. It actually looks like that's what the flower is doing! :^D Again, thank you so very much for this. You just made my day even sunnier. Big, warm, happy hugs - Marlene :^) PS LOL at me being 30.

well I don't know Marlene, but I've loved her gallery, and I've seen her comments everywhere and always thought she was extremely loving to everyone she visits, so I'll say happy birthday too! I looked for the two 'friends', and all I could find was two little insects. (I hope they like photography. Maybe they're from Flickr...) I don't know how you got those petals to go that way, but it's a great job. And ol' peak-a-boo goes back to the Renaissance as a game of hide-and-seek (you probably knew this, but I'm really boring so you gotta read this anyway), where you peeked and the other person yelled BOO!—though not necessarily in that order. So you've connected a dear friend with a 500 year old game! A sunny burst-of-a-pic, a lot of fun, and I love what you did with the petals, etc. A wonderful card for a friend!

Woohoo, a beautiful job...an excellent bit of postwork with the sunflower to celebrate Marlene's birthday. Think of it, 30, and never been kissed! No, with kids, that doesn't seem to make sense.
