Happy Fourth of July...

Wishing you all a safe and wonderful 4th of July weekend!

Getting Bigger!

I love watching this eaglet grow! I hope you are enjoying these photos as much as I am! I look forward to getting updates on them. How awesome it must be to be able to watch this firsthand and take these amazing photographs! Thanks for sharing them! They are awesome!

Just look at those feathers emerging..... I wonder how much longer before its first flight.

This has become another one of my favorite photos!

Looks like it was bird for lunch today.....

I will continue to update you with the eagles progress!

Tomorrow is silver day in the studio... I have some new techniques I am excited about playing with. Some new tools are being made for me this week and am looking forward to working with them. Lots of experimenting going on in the next few weeks ... hopefully I will have some new and exciting photos to share with you soon!

Love These Guys!

Ava, Justin, Milo and Dawn are here for a few days! We have been having a blast with them. The kids are growing so fast... sure wish we lived closer so we could be more involved in their lives. Ava and I have known each other for 18 years and I consider her one of my best friends ever.

Ava fixed up Milo's mohawk for us today.... and let me tell you he was styling big time!

I love this photo of us but Whit and Dawn were missing...... that would of made it picture perfect! Dawn was busy eating and Whit took the photo!

Ava and I have so many great memories of our past adventures.... and we are looking forward to many more! I may possibly be going to New Zealand with them next year! What an awesome trip that would be.

Dawn says that the lamb is finger licking good!

The kids loving the massage chair!

Milo showing off his pile of bones!

Dawn reading a book on Ava's iphone during dinner! She is high tech!

I will miss them dearly when they leave.... this has been a wonderful visit.

Hands Across the Sand

Hands Across the Sand is a movement made of people of all walks of life and political affiliations concerned with the protection of coastal economies, oceans, marine wildlife and fishing industry.

People all over the world gathered on beaches and held hands. Whit and I joined in at North Beach here in Port Townsend.

A Surprise!

My good friend emailed me today and said "do you know your bead is on the cover of next years Bead and Button class catalog?"




No I didn't! What a pleasant surprise!! Thanks Bead and Button, I am looking forward to another wonderful show next year!!

Exciting Day!

What an awesome day Whit and I had. We got up early, took the ferry to the other side, went to the Apple Store, both got new iphone 4's, I bought some new shoes and shopped a bit while Whit waited in the line for over 2 hours, had an awesome lunch at PF Chang's and then came home and our contractor had our new 10' sliding doors installed!

Towanda thinking if only this door was open a bit more I could get that duck that is out there!!

Also in the mail today I received a BIG package of FASTfire BRONZclay from Bill Struve (the inventor and manufacturer) to play with! What a great guy he is. Thanks Bill!

So Whit and I have been face timing each other like crazy since we have been back! Me in my studio while he is on the 3rd floor in his office. We haven't experienced any of the problems that some people have reported having with their new iphone 4's. Sure hope it stays that way because this new phone is awesome!

Incredible Eagle Photos!

I wanted to share with you these amazing photographs that my friends husband has taken. He has been photographing these eagles for months. I can't stop going back and looking at these amazing pictures.... just had to share!

This one is my favorite... I have never seen an eagle photographed like this before, I think it is amazing!

Coming in for landing...

Arriving with lunch!

Another food delivery...

I believe in this one they are getting ready to change spots of egg sitting...

"where's my food"

another landing..

waiting for food....

building the nest....

I love the gracefulness of the wings in this photo!

Hopefully I will get some more updates as the eaglet gets older and share them with you!

Thanks my friend for sharing your wonderful photos!
