     Double project posts this week since I was out of town last week and away from a computer for 7 whole days!

     Each year our backyard gets better and better, I find gems everywhere I look. Sometimes things take a season to establish and then explode into a beautiful display, just like this echinacea that started in a little 4 inch pot a few years ago. If you're in the Solano County area, Morning Sun Herb Farm on Pleasant Valley Road has the best plants. I have nearly killed many of them by attempting to container grow them or by putting them in the wrong spot in my yard, only to plop them, barely hanging on, elsewhere in our yard more suitable to their needs (just to see what will happen) to have them take off like wildfire. There's a lot to be said for local growers!

     Water is a precious commodity here in California at the moment. In the midst of a severe drought, we find ourselves conserving water in many areas of our lives. But to beat the heat somedays we resort to a little hose play in the yard... this week Jack - our little water baby -  learned to drink from the hose, hilarious and adorable.

An Extra*Ordinary Life Project - Side by Side

Side by side, we talk more than photograph, oo and ah over the same views, relish the journey, embrace the destination. We often photograph the same exact scenes, details, moments and yet somehow we each manage to surprise the other with the images we produce.  Side by side, artists, friends, photographic fraternal twinning at it's finest.
