I’m SOOO busy right now – I need six brains and twelve arms. But anyway, if you like this print, I’m running a Buy One Get One Free promotion at my Etsy Shop, so have a look. :) Sorry for being haste!

I’ve got a bit of colour from playing with the sun all weekend. :) The sun, the heat, the blue skies, and the puffy white clouds, overwhelm me with uncontainable joy. I just want to be outside all the time. And I dream about California. (I know I’ve got Paris below, but how often do my blabbers actually coincide with the photos I post? – Rarely. :))

JULY brings you a BOGO SALE.
Buy One Get One FREE on all my prints until July 15th, 2011. Check it out.

It’s time to wind down this evening and prepare for a VERY busy work week.

Every song I sing, I’ll sing for you.

I edited a few things on the ABOUT and RATES page to reflect the little bits and pieces of changes in direction that I’ve had with my photography in the past month.

This is the closest I’ve ever gotten to one of these jet planes (are they jet planes?) They just look so cool. I’ve typically only been able to see the jet stream in the sky, not the actual plane. But in this photo, you can actually see the plane. It’s faint but it’s there.

I can’t believe it’s July. Only a month left until Europe and an EXPLOSION of new photographs to list on my Etsy Shop. It’s going to come so fast from here – I really need to work on my to-pack list and action them! By the way, I’m offering a 20% summer discount on all my prints! Check them out. New prints are listed DAILY. Just like my photo blog is updated DAILY. My shop is actually way ahead of my blog – I have to take the avid listing down a notch.

Oh goodness, I have to go find more circuses. I’m in love with them. Especially the tents. How do you wake up one day and decide you’re going to jump through fire hoops? Or run on top of a spinning wheel? Circus performers are incredible, including the trickster elephants and horses.

I am so relieved that Canada Post is back to work. I have eight packages to ship out and my prints are finally going to get delivered. This proudly Canadian circus photograph is for sale as an 8×10 print at my Etsy Shop. I’m at a humble 25 sales and can barely manage it. It took me three hours to finish packaging eight orders. Holy cow.

I went to the Shrine Circus today just because I wanted to feel like I was in Water for Elephants. :) Every character in the film was manifested in the real life circus and I loved it so much. I felt bad about myself though after ignoring the protesters just outside the circus tents, who were encouraging boycotts of circuses because of animal cruelty. I guess I’m a bit ignorant when it comes to that… I just appreciate all art forms and this is one of them…

Then I met up with a fellow Etsy seller for an awesome, AWESOME barter and some inspiration. I’m getting way too hooked on this for my own good. I’m sleeping at outrageous hours of the night because I’ve become a slave to my shop. Who knew that it would take this much effort to ramp up an online shop??? And who knew it would be this addicting? Canada Post better get back to work this week – my orders are backed up and I am feeling some anxiety (lol).
