This Sunday in the Orchard

A lovely way to spend a Sunday -- outdoors, picking fruit, surrounded by the scent of orange blossoms and friendly folks. Organized by FOOD FORWARD of Los Angeles, young and old came together to make sure this delicious fruit made it to the homes of those who would like to have it. The Mandarin oranges we harvested went to the Oxnard Food Bank and BACKYARD BOUNTY of Santa Barbara.

HENRY & ZACHARY

I had so many fun family portrait sessions during the holiday season. The Conway clan is always a treat to photograph and working with these little guys was one of the high points of family portrait season.

FOR THE OFFICE

I recently sold an agave triptych I created in 2006 to a therapist for her office. She felt these images would help create a sense of calm for her clients. I was delighted to revisit this work and know that it conveyed the feeling I had when I created it. I am reminded of Rachel Carson's words.

"In contemplating the exceeding beauty of this earth, I have found calmness and courage. ... There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature."

BOULDER BOYS ARE BACK!

Graydon and Owen came to CA to celebrate birthdays 1 and 3 with family and friends last weekend. Lots of photos and tons of fun. Check out Roe Anne White Photography on facebook for more pictures of the celebration.

Created for the Conways two years ago, I'm looking forward to updating their family portrait this month. There's another grandson, Zachary, to include in the new portrait of Ann and Chris with all their grandchildren.
