Yes I love that man of mine!

Ruthie made a fantastic dance dress for Charmaine who's now a member of The Tallboys (old time string band) in Seattle.

When considering Arkansas, many people probably have images like this in their minds. Fortunately, there is more to the Natural State than that. At least I hope there is.

Lovely young lovers Charlie and Charmaine. They have a fantastic busking act that they regularly do at the Pike's Place Market and various other farmer's markets. Charmaine is teaching us how to Flatfoot Dance and it's soooooooo fun!

I've been toying with photography for the past year. It's a very enjoyable hobby if you don't take it too seriously. I use an old Canon and a Holga (note the blurry edges made with lip balm).
