July already?

Looking at my calendar on my office wall today, I'm realizing that it's already July. When the hell did that happen I wonder? This year has been somewhat of a whirlwind so far and doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon. The irony is that it's 100 degrees outside and I've spent most of the day so far working on Christmas albums.

The fact is that in order to get Christmas albums into stores at the appropriate time we have to start working on them as early as March. Yes, March. By the time Christmas actually rolls around, I'm ready to tell Rudolph where he can stick his White Christmas. Indeed, come December, I'm hunched over and Grinch-like and ready to kill at the first few bars of "Feliz Navidad" (which just may by my most hated Christmas song of all!) It's not that I hate Christmas songs. I just hate Christmas songs when I'm working on them in the middle of spring and through the summer when I would much rather be contemplating sticking my toes in the pool.

So, I shall lament the rest of my office day before the long weekend, surrounded by holiday cheer of the non-July 4th variety.

June Gloom? I don't think so.

Yesterday it was May Grey and today it's June Gloom. The goods news is that to make June a little brighter, and in honor of my new camera lens (see previous post), I am having a sale in my Etsy shop!

For this month, all photographic prints in my shop are buy one get one 50% off. Of course, you'll only need to pay shipping on the first item. I'll also be adding new photographs throughout the month to give you lots of choice.

My newest addition is this beautiful summery print, which I have titled Reaching. The plant colors, the clear blue sky, and the flowers reaching toward things unknown - it all seems quite inspirational to me....inspires me to get out of the office and go outside that is!
