An April fool

Well, Spring Fever has officially struck. I can no longer bear to be inside chained to the computer. I love digital photography but it is much more work after the shoot than the old film days. Anyway... about this time every year Birmingham looks a lot like Emerald City in the land of OZ. Everything is so green and lush that it hurts to look at it. Well it hurts if you're stuck indoors.

The past two weekends of horse shows in Tennessee and Alabama provided some much needed light therapy but really they just made me greedy for more outdoor action. Fortunately I have a sunset portrait session tomorrow with a pretty girl (OK, her fiance will be there too) so I'll be away from the computer all afternoon. And Saturday should be fun as I'll be shooting at Clairmont Show Stables for the first time in about a year. It's a beautiful place and the folks that run it are first rate equestrians and people. You can check them out online. www.clairmonthunters.com

Get out of the house and enjoy yourself, it'll be too %#@*&# hot before you know it.

Hey thanks Rick! We are looking forward to having you. Clair has gone all out with decorations for the jumps. Thanks to John Deere Landscape for loaning over 40 knock out rose bushes and a variety of shrubs, the ring (and the weather) will be "picture perfect" ;-)
