Here are some to tick off the bucket list.
The Dead Sea
You probably know the Dead Sea as the expanse of water that is ten times saltier than an ocean. Also, you'll have seen the videos where people float thanks to the buoyancy of the H2O. What you might not know is that this beautiful stretch of sea is vulnerable because of mining. Nope, not in the sea itself but the Jordan River, the main water source. Experts believe the Dead Sea is losing 2 billion gallons of water per year, which is an appalling & shocking amount. It is a possibility that sinkholes will soon appear, redirecting the extra water.
Joshua Tree National Park
The Joshua Tree National Park is America's very own natural attraction in the Mojave Desert, California. The trees got their names thanks to Mormons who thought they shared a resemblance to the prophet. Unfortunately, these trees don't have any other biblical qualities such as the resurrection. The prognosis is that the lack of rainfall & nutrients in the Mojave is causing the plant life to die and stop reproducing. Yes, even desert plants need water, five inches per year to be exact. In recent times, the droughts have only brought one-inch, which isn't nearly enough.
Niagara Falls
On the border of the US and Canada, the Niagara Falls are a cascading waterfall which descends deep into the ground. Shockingly, the natural power of the water is under threat due to Arctic blasts. Recently, the east coast has experienced chills which have measured -16 °C on the temperature scale and they have actually frozen the falls. As unlikely as it sounds, some meteorologists predict a mini-ice age could hit the country before long. Whether that's true or not, taking a trip & checking into the Travelodge At The Falls seems like a good idea, doesn't it? Then, you can explore the rest of New York state too.
Machu Picchu
The 'Lost City' is high up in the Peruvian Andes, yet thousands of tourists visit it every single week. Humans aren't the only reason it's at risk, though. Changes in climate mean the area is subject to regular landslides and erosion in the supporting rock. If that isn't scary enough, contractors are trying to get in on the action by building as close to the site as possible. All this could mean that the site found in 1911 might not be around much longer. That's a terrifying thought.
Should you get the opportunity, you won't want to miss out on these unbelievable sights.

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. -- An 88-year-old Washington Township driver's car barreled backwards into a neighbor's house across the street Monday afternoon, rendering the house uninhabitable.
"The woman backed out of her out of [her] driveway across the street and down a small embankment into the house" around 1:15 p.m., Police Lt. Richard Skinner told Daily Voice.
"The resident was home at the time and luckily went into the kitchen to answer the phone," he said.The homeowner's 16-year-old Golden Retriever ended up beneath the car but wasn't pinned or injured, the lieutenant said.
The car was towed out and driven up onto a flatbed, Skinner said.Paramus Rescue helped township firefighters rig jacks to secure the house, which later was shored up by ServPro, he said.
A township building inspector was due before 6:30 p.m. to check their work, the lieutenant said..Hillsdale EMS also responded, along with borough police.

Reid holds his ground
Senior advisers for Sen. Harry Reid say he won't resign as majority leader over comments he made about Barack Obama — and that Republican attacks on Reid will give them the opportunity to solidify Democrat support by arguing that he's the victim of a partisan witchhunt.
"The more you have in terms of criticism from Republicans, the more likely it is that it is just a political pile-on," a senior Reid adviser told POLITICO Sunday.
Story Continued Below
The calculus could always change if more revelations emerge or if Democrats begin to call for Reid to step down. But Reid's advisers expect neither of those situations to play out, believing that support has been solidified on the left and that they can weather the storm in Washington – and will have to turn the focus in his Nevada reelection campaign to jobs and the economy.
Republicans attacked Reid in force Sunday, with RNC Chairman Michael Steele, who is black, National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn (R-Tex.) and Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) all calling on Reid to step down and comparing his remarks to those that led to the downfall of Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.) in 2002.
But since Republicans have no power to remove Reid from his position, the majority leader remain in place unless he decides to step down voluntarily or Democratic senators turn against him. Neither seems likely.
"He has no intention of stepping down as majority leader," Reid spokesman Jim Manley said. "Unlike others who advocate moving our nation backwards, and viewing this moment for political gain, he's working, today, tomorrow and the next day to move our country forward."
"Mr. Steele and Sen. Cornyn want Reid out because they know they can't beat Reid" in November, Manley said.
Reid has moved quickly to show contrition after a new book, "Game Change" by journalists John Heilemann and Mark Halperin revealed that he made comments in 2008 suggesting that Barack Obama could be elected president because he is "light skinned" and lacks "Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
Embarrassed by the remarks and already facing a tough climb to reelection in the fall, Reid has reached out to the African American community, apologizing for his comments and highlighting his legislative record of backing civil rights issues important to the black community. He immediately won a showing of support from prominent Democratic black leaders, including the president, who accepted his apology and said he's seen the "passionate leadership he's shown on issues of social justice and I know what's in his heart. As far as I'm concerned, the book is closed."
But Reid continues to face slumping approval ratings back home – and losing his spot as majority leader would certainly imperil his reelection bid, where he is making the case that he is the most powerful legislator in the Senate.
Reid spent Sunday at his home in the mining town of Searchlight, Nev., continuing to make phone calls and also working to bridge a compromise between the House and Senate on health care.
But back in Washington, his advisers expected him to avoid the fate of Lott, who in 2002 was weeks away from taking command as majority leader until he made clumsy remarks at the 100th birthday party for then-Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.), the late Dixiecrat who had run for president in 1948 on a pro-segregation platform.
Senior Reid advisers – who were caught off-guard by Saturday's disclosure of the senator's comments – believe that the majority leader is in a much better position politically than Lott, who in his 2002 comments first identified with Thurmond's candidacy as a fellow Southerner and then added, "If the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over the years, either."

Label: Self-released
Format: CD-R
Duration: 39 min
Released: March 24, 2010
Price: SGD8.00
Inventory Status: Sold Out
Order (free postage with another item!)
Ara Ophidia:
1. Ordained By Semen
2. AO (feat. MXDTH of Sect Insanabalis)
3. Catatonic POV
4. Skin Homage
Ara Ophidia / I\D Media Release:
Ara Ophidia and I\D hail from the sunny shithole called Singapore. AO offers up 3 sinister ritual invokations to the Dark. With I\D one can enjoy a leisurely trudge thru the very bowels of this wretched existence. Doomed eternal.
We say:
An unusual pairing for a split release that somehow rubs off the other in the right way. Act I: Zen pulses, buzzing flies, the ghosts of a guitar riff, distorted voices quiet and cracked. The mysterious Ara Ophidia begins with three tracks (14 minutes) of dark ambience that is as much meditation as it is metal. Act II: The boys of I\D follow, storming in on an epic 25-minute track that begins in the cosmos, returns to explore terra firma before reigniting. Features the gonzo sax of Tim O'Dwyer who, some three-quarters of the way in, sounds like late Coltrane riffing off A Night in Tunisia.
Other review/s:
"… highly recommended to those [who] like dark and strange atmospheres, coupled with noise and hoots and toots (think Sunn O))) and their didgeridoos, or Norwegian Blackjazz ensemble Shining)." – Heavy Metal Tribune
"Ara Ophidia […] perhaps a lo-fi version of some of Cold Meat Industries' more malevolent output [….] My favorite song is their final one though ("Catatonic POV"), which steps away from their previous template in favor of a simple bit of melancholy guitar ambiance and some ranting vocals that gradually intensify into garbled crackling that threatens to tear the song apart.
"I certainly dig the mixture of atonal skwonking saxophone, feedback, and electronic noise [of I\D…] these guys definitely kick up quite an unholy racket sometimes and I would happily go see them play if I inexplicably found myself in Singapore (or at least I would try, and then get hopelessly lost)." – Foxy Digitalis

For country music fans, the top picks of New Year's Eve entertainment will be taking place in Nashville and Austin — two cities where country reigns, of course — and also in New York City.
In Music City, the seventh annual Jack Daniel's Bash on Broadway is expected to draw an estimated 150,000 people to Lower Broadway in downtown Nashville for a free concert headlined by Kings of Leon, along with Chris Stapleton, Kelsea Ballerini and country newcomers LANco, among others. A 15-foot-tall red Music Note Drop will descend from a 145-foot structure to signal the arrival of 2016. Should anyone overlook the magic moment, it will also trigger a fireworks display and confetti cannons.
Elsewhere in Nashville, Old Crow Medicine Show will ring in the New Year at the Ryman Auditorium. The show has been sold out for months, but WSM-AM/Nashville will be broadcasting the concert and streaming it live beginning at 10:30 p.m. CT at WSMonline.com.
Also in Twang Town, Marty Stuart and his band, the Fabulous Superlatives, will be rocking the house at City Winery. Local favorite Chris Knight is at the Exit/In, and the Grascals will be sharing their music at Nashville's bluegrass mecca — the Station Inn. Fans of the Nashville TV series may gravitate to the famed Bluebird Café for a writers-in-the-round session with Thom Schuyler, Fred Knobloch, Tony Arata and Jelly Roll Johnson
In Texas, Willie Nelson has enlisted Kacey Musgraves to join him for his annual show at Austin City Limits Live at Moody Theater. Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real will set the mood for the celebration. The concert will air live on Sirius XM satellite radio's Willie's Roadhouse channel.
In New York City, the annual Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest special will include performances by Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan, along with Jimmy Buffett's promise to perform "Margaritaville" from the concert he's playing with Huey Lewis and the News.
Looks like Bryan is already in New York and has caught up with Seacrest's co-host Jenny McCarthy.
On NBC, New Year's Eve With Carson Daly Live doesn't include any country performers, per se, although it will include an appearance by Gwen Stefani, and most of America is aware she's dating Blake Shelton, her cohort on The Voice.
Although this is by no means a comprehensive list of all New Year's Eve events, here's a quick overview of other country artists who will be working the late shift:
Little Big Town/Holly Williams: Mohegan Sun Arena (Uncasville, Connecticut)
Chris Janson/The Swon Brothers: Grand Casino Mille Lacs Event Center (Onamia, Minnesota)
Colt Ford: Wild Bill's (Duluth, Georgia)
Kid Rock: KFC Yum Center (Louisville, Kentucky)
Avett Brothers: Greensboro Coliseum (Greensboro, North Carolina)
Randy Rogers Band: Cain's Ballroom (Tulsa, Oklahoma)
LoCash: 8 Seconds Saloon (Indianapolis)
Greensky Bluegrass: Royal Oak Theatre (Royal Oak, Michigan)
Shinyribs: Gruene Hall (New Braunfels, Texas)
Pokey LaFarge: The Pageant (St. Louis)
The Infamous Stringdusters: Rams Head Live (Baltimore)
Cory Morrow: House of Blues (Dallas)
Wade Bowen: John T. Floore Country Store (Helotes, Texas)

Fried Ice face plant
Soundchecking is a nightmare. This guy is in a rush to get it sorted so he can chill before the gig.
Bad day at the office
Guitarist having a bad day at the office. Thankfully his band mates are there to offer support in his hour of need
Paul Gilbert
Paul Gilbert is one scary guitar player. Awesome technique, Phenomenal speed coupled with a strong melodic sense combine to make him one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time.
At age 15 he contacted Mike Varney, head of shrapnel records, asking for a gig with Ozzy Osborne. The gig with Ozzy did not happen but Gilbert was featured in Guitar Player magazine at age 15.
After spending three years at GIT Gilbert then joined Racer X. This is where Gilbert gained his reputation as one of the worlds fastest guitarists. Gilbert then formed the band Mr Big who had a number one hit with the acoustic tune "To be with you". Gilbert left Mr Big in 1997 to pursue a solo career.
He continues working on solo projects as well as holding guitar clinics around the world. He is also a teacher at GIT and is well-known for his instructional videos.
Leo Kottke
Blues, Jazz, Folk, Fingerstyle, slide, syncopation, and much more. Leo Kottke is a truly innovative and one-off guitarist. He hasn't had it easy in his playing career and has had to overcome a number of obstacles along the way. A partial loss of hearing, and, tendon damage in his right hand resulting in him having to alter his technique. Leo Kottke is a recognised master of the guitar.
Kottke has focussed on composing and recording instrumental music but has also been known to sing as well. He has also collaborated with many other artists including. Chet Atkins, Lyle Lovett, Margo Timmins, Mike Gordon, and Rickie Lee Jones. He has recorded tunes by Tom T. Hall, Johnny Cash, Carla Bley, Fleetwood Mac, The Byrds, Jorma Kaukonen, Kris Kristofferson, Randall Hylton, and many others.
1.What is music theory
Music theory is the language of music and the study of how music is put together. Having an understanding of music theory is helpful in many ways. For example, when teaching it is much easier & quicker to communicate ideas to a student if the student has a good knowledge of theory. If you play in a band ideas can be passed around and expressed clearly and concisely if the members have good theory knowledge. For lead guitarists theory helps you put the right scale with the right chords. For writers and composers it provides clear direction on chord progressions and melody.
Almost all of the top guitarists today have a good knowledge of theory as well as strong technique. If you want to join them you will need the same.
Music was around a long time before theory came along so it could be said that theory is just a way of writing down and remembering things that sound good. I have come across students who have no musical knowledge what so ever but have written some great music. When we have sat down and analysed what they have written we have found that their music conforms with accepted music theory. The reason for this, I believe, is that we grow up listening to music and are conditioned to hear music in a certain way. Therefore when we write music it conforms to the musical patterns we have grown up listening to. If somebody can write music with no theory knowledge what is the point of learning theory? By learning why your music sounds a certain way theory can help you recreate that sound or avoid it. It should also open up new musical avenues for you to explore.
Finally, music theory will help you gain an insight into how your guitar works. Attempting to jam with other musicians without theory is guesswork usually. Theory gets you straight in and playing something cool which surely is what playing an instrument is about.
Next up: Lesson 2 – Naming the notes
Andy Mckee
Andy Mckee started playing at age 13 but it was only when his cousin took him to see Preston Reed that he became serious with his guitar playing. His style involves making use of the guitar as a percussion instrument, whilst playing bass notes with his left hand and melody notes with his right hand amongst other techniques. Have a look at the video.
Andy Mckee found fame when the video of "Drifting" became a featured video on YouTube and MySpace and achieved over 48 million views. Head over to his website http://www.andymckee.com for more information on this amazing guitar player.
Jaco Pastorius
Jaco Pastorius is probably the most influential Bass player of all time. Playing a Fender Jazz with the frets removed Jaco had a unique and instantly recognisable style making use of harmonics, false harmonics, legato, and punchy lines . Jaco recorded with Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, and, Joni Mitchell amongst others as well as recording his own solo projects.
Jaco had two Grammy Award nominations for his self-titled debut album. He won the readers' poll for induction into the Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame in 1988, one of only four bassists to be so honored (the others being Charles Mingus, Milt Hinton, and Ray Brown), and the only electric bassist to receive this distinction.
Randy Rhoads
Randy Rhoads was most famous for being Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist on the albums "Blizzard of Oz" and "Diary of a madman", Ozzy's first albums since splitting with Black Sabbath. Randy played guitar for the band "Quiet Riot" before joining Ozzy's band and was also a dedicated classical guitar player and would seek out classical guitar lessons whilst on tour. Randy was one of the first "schooled" rock guitarists and had a deep knowledge of music theory, composition, and guitar techniques. This coupled with his natural musicality combined to make him one of the greatest guitarists ever. Randy was tragically killed in a plane crash on March 19, 1982. In 1987 Ozzy released "Tribute" a live recording of Ozzy and Randy in concert plus some studio out-takes. Have a listen to the clip above to hear Randy playing both in a classical style and also some great lead guitar. The solo at around 2 mins 40 secs is a masterpiece. Enjoy.
Joe Pass
One of the greatest jazz guitarists of the 20th century Joe Pass was known for his chord melodies, walking bass lines, and, outstanding knowledge of chord inversions and progressions. New York Magazine said of him, "Joe Pass looks like somebody's uncle and plays guitar like nobody's business. He's called "the world's greatest" and often compared to Paganini for his virtuosity. There is a certain purity to his sound that makes him stand out easily from other first-rate jazz guitarists".
Eric Roche
Eric Roche was an awesome guitar player. Acoustic finger style, tapping, harmonics, slapping, and many other amazing techniques, but most of all some truly beautiful guitar playing. He also taught at the academy of contemporary music and wrote the brilliant "Acoustic Guitar Bible", get it. Eric Roche sadly died in 2005 but his music and influence still live on. Head over to the official website to find out more about this amazing guitar player.

"You Could Go Home Again" by Howard Waldrop
This anthology, the latest effort by All-Star Stories, is a fantastic read. There are a whopping twenty stories in this book, ranging in quality between okay and terrific. What can I say? Get this book, if only to laugh at the cheesy front cover!
"Voice of the Hurricane" by Paul Berger
This is a brilliant story, full of evocative nautical imagery. So cleverly conceived, it is easy for the reader to suspend their disbelief despite this story's impossible setting. The story has the feel of a 19th century whale-hunt–but instead they are chasing living zeppelins across the sky! Berger has provided some excellent narration and authentic characters, and this was the perfect choice to open this anthology.
"The Last of the Zeppelins" by Jed Hartman
Hartman's cheesy adventure story is quite a chuckle, but the tongue-in-cheek humor has been laid on much too thickly. A hero named Hugh Betcha, a Nazi plot involving a Zeppelin and a death ray, a Bond-esque villain and a ferret sidekick, this story has it all. It's an entertaining read but really needs to be reined in with a subtle touch. Hartman makes his point with this story, but this does not need to be reinforced so strongly.
"The Eckener Alternative" by James L. Cambias
Zeppelins and time-travel this time around. Despite not accounting for causality paradoxes, the time-jumping side to this story is well considered. The research put into historical events fleshes this piece out nicely, and the idea of a hero changing history to save the zeppelin industry is unique enough.
"Instead of a Loving Heart" by Jeremiah Tolbert
A war-time story with elements of Frankenstein, this story only very loosely fits in with the rest of the anthology. Zeppelins are only mentioned in passing as a means of transport, and it would appear that this story has been modified for submission to this anthology. This aside, the protagonist is an interesting enough character, and with a bit more work this could have really hit the mark elsewhere. As it stands, the ending is slightly anticlimactic.
"This is the Highest Step in the World" by Carrie Vaughn
A fictional account of Joseph Kittinger Jr's. record-breaking skydive from a balloon, this is a well-paced, finely crafted tale. An encounter with a hallucination of Icarus on the way down makes this story special, and this is one of the better stories in the book.
"The Sky's the Limit" by Lawrence M. Schoen
Gangsters, illegal gaming on a zeppelin, and a mob boss staking his best girl on a poker hand. Not bad for a winner-takes-all style of story. Grounded more in the real world than other stories in this anthology, it makes for a nice contrast.
"A Perilous Warm Embrace" by Michael Manis
The whole concept of super-intelligent apes assembling a balloon to escape a zoo is highly improbable. It is a novel idea, but the suspension of the reader's disbelief didn't fly as well as the balloon did. Some nice moments of human-ape interaction, but not enough to lift this story.
"Sky Light" by David Brin
A very nice piece indeed! Heavy on the tech, but still quite plausible. An interesting setting, with a depth of detail that is presented at the correct pace. The "world village" style of information sharing and communication ties in nicely with the tech-gadgets. A personal favourite, and one of the best tales to be found in Zeppelin Adventure Stories.
"Negation Elimination" by Robert Burke Richardson
It is nice to have a pseudo-Indian/Russian setting instead of the standard Europe/US based SF. A Hindi Captain in a stolen airship, a time-travelling professor, and aerial warfare makes for a great setting, but the concept behind the malleable time-stream is a little too complicated. A brave and unique effort though.
"Why a Duck" by Leslie What
A pair of ghosts bound to haunt different balloons makes for a chuckle. The contrasts between the pair are nicely executed, and while not a very deep or challenging read, the light relief is a much needed addition to the darker stories in this volume.
"Matriarch" by Forrest Aguirre
It is interesting to see flash fiction (short-short stories) in an anthology, which there should be more of! The abstract images in Matriarch certainly do provoke the reader's imagination, and the only thing grating is the final line, which seems unneccesary.
"Aerophilia" by Tobias S. Buckell
The Fight Club style protagonist immediately lets this story down. Internal conflict is one thing, but an out-of-control Id forcing a person to hijack a zeppelin is hard to swallow. Like Sky-Light, this story introduces similar standards of implant-tech, though not handled as well as in the other story. It's all right, but there are better stories in here.
"The Jewels of Lemuria" by Richard A. Lupoff
With the feel of a comic book, we are presented with a unique protagonist, the Crimson Wizard. Reminiscent of characters such as The Shadow and Mandrake the Magician, the African sorceror undoes a foul plot with the help of Kpalim¾ , his enchanted zeppelin. Brilliant!
"Counting Zeppelins" by Eric Marin
The second flash fiction story to grace these pages, this is short, sharp, and shiny. A good example of what flash fiction is capable of, doing less with more. A real thought-provoker!
"Love in the Balance" by David D. Levine
The formality of this setting, interhouse warfare with the feel of Dune, and love between a man and an intelligent airship forced to fight make this a truly great SF tale.
"Where and When" by James Van Pelt
An interesting take on time travel, with a good focus on the causality paradox. This works a bit better than The Eckener Alternative, in that the science of the time-travel is better fleshed out. Not too bad.
"Seven Dragons Mountains" by Elizabeth Bear
Fantasy in Oriental settings can go horribly wrong–Oriental settings in an alternative history even more so–but this story works quite well. Sorcery is subtly blended with the Victorian intrusion into the orient, to make a highly visual showdown between east and west.
"Silk " by Lee Battersby
Perhaps an extreme example of home renovation going bad, the protagonists find a silk barrage balloon under the floorboards. Unwittingly, they transport themselves back to the years of World War II, and the horrid process of their journey is painted quite nicely.
"Biographical Notes to 'A Discourse on the Nature of Causality, with Air-planes' by Benjamin Rosenbaum" by Benjamin Rosenbaum
Coining a fantastic phrase ("Plausible Fable") Rosenbaum crafts an outstanding alternative Earth. Dominated by Eastern influences, the new world has zeppelins where we have planes. Rosenbaum, himself the protagonist in his story, has been commissioned to write of the unimaginable, a world without zeppelins. Segues such as this make this story amusing as well as breathtaking. Simply excellent.
"You Could Go Home Again" by Howard Waldrop
A reprint of a classic SF story, this is a great end to a good anthology. An ageless piece, it blends seamlessly with the other stories. It was a real pleasure to read this, a superb mixture of historical facts and real people with just a twist of an alternative universe. It is interesting to read the afterword by Waldrop, where he describes the origin of the story, as well as what music he listened to while writing it!
Zeppelin Adventure Stories is a unique blend of nostalgia, the abstract, and the amusing. Like most themed anthologies, there are a few inappropriate stories sneaking in by the back door. All told though, this is one of the better ones I've read.

The EBRD and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations have joined forces to expand Tunisia's olive sector. The priorities are to boost productivity, initiate policy dialogue, introduce new technology and help producers differentiate and raise awareness of their products. These joint efforts will complement the EBRD's current investment activities in the sector.
Tunisia saw a bumper harvest of olives in 2014, with production estimated at twice that of 2013. This will strengthen the country's position on olive oil markets. It is the third-largest exporter of olive oil in the world, after Spain and Italy, and the sector accounts for 40 per cent of the country's agricultural exports. However, globally consumers are unaware of this as Tunisian olive oil is mainly sold in bulk and blended with oil from other countries.
Far more value could be added to the sector if Tunisia could develop its image as producer of quality olive oil and sell a larger part of its production as bottled oil.
This would require considerable efforts at the production level as olive orchards are often old and poorly maintained and yields are low.
To tackle such issues, a stronger organisation of the value chain is needed, with clearer roles assigned to both the public and the private sector.

I received an email this week that was quite a surprise! It was from the America's Knitting website and they were asking if they could feature one of my projects (the magic ball shawl) on their site for the month of September. I wish it had been one of my projects with better pictures but I was thrilled to be asked and quickly said, "yes". And, now it's on their site, along with projects from other knitters that live in this beautiful state of California...the featured state for September. Check it out...HERE.

I'm worried that the news is predictably going too far with the brave Amish girl who tried to bargain her life in exchange for her classmates.
It reminds me too much of the Cassie what's-her-name girl from Columbine who refused to denounce her christianity in the face of death.
There was even a hastily put together inspirational biography about Cassie called "Yes I Am" or something like that.
Please don't let there be a book.
That would just be so disrespectful to the Amish.

I do all my designing and most of my photoshoots here at home and feel completely blessed to have this opportunity to be a mum and do something I love all at the same time. It does prove a juggling act sometimes when it comes to photoshoots and I have to plan around sleep time vs good light etc. {Let me take this moment to say I am no pro photographer, I have a digital SLR and know how to use Photoshop...that goes a long way! :) }
Here's a fun glimpse into life at my place, over the past few months, when I'm doing a shoot or something and there are an extra pair of little hands around to "assist"!
Let's call it, What you see vs what I see!....
What you see is a full jar of milk bottles, what I see is a child getting hopped up on sugar after he woke from a nap and wanted to 'help' put them in.
What I see is a little chubby hand that just wants to play with the cute bugs
What you see is nice swirly icing...what I see are finger marks and a sticky face
What you see is nice manicured grass and round choc pops...what I see...let's just say these choc pops didn't make it into the shoot - this still makes me laugh!
What you see is a spool of twine with vintage scissors...I walked out of the room after shooting the new twine colours and come back to find these craft scissors in a spool. I realise this kid is getting good!
This is very recent and maybe my favourite. He even did some art directing on this shoot, I leant back after finishing my shots, and he wheeled his favourite truck into the frame and then said "do his face" - who am I to say no?! He loves you 'red trailer truck'.
He won't be this small forever, so I find it helpful for me to remember the cute moments amongst the everyday - I hope you enjoyed a little glimpse behind the scenes at my place!
And I hope you all have a lovely mothers day! - Jordan x
{P.S. Don't forget the FREE mother's day printables!}
