Being a Praire Girl

In honor of my being back in the plains of Illinois, I decided to do a photoshoot on the side of the backyard of my house. It really doesn't get more country than this, especially when we have barbecued steaks, sweet corn and iced tea for dinner al fresco.

My parents have a lovely GIGANTIC backyard filled with flowers, sheds, wicker furniture, picnic tables, pergolas, and lots of grass. Basically they've created an Eden and I love to go outside and sit at the picnic table and read and write amongst the flowers. To my surprise, our WIFI internet even reaches out to the picnic table where these photos were taken, so I can be on blogger AND in nature at the same time. Unfortunately my reintroduction to nature outside of the big city has landed me desparately scatching the 14 bug bites that I have acquired within the past two days.




My attempt at a shoe ad...




I really should just get a tripod for my Digital Canon SLR so I don't have to use my laptop to take photos. That SLR is as heavy as a powerlifter on Thanksgiving, but using it would really make these pictures bangin'. In the meantime I enjoy the rawness that comes with lower quality digital images.
