Glee! Glee!

I got a call today while I was at work, from the Japanese Gardens. They are using four of my photos for a calendar! (These are photos I donated to them.) They wanted to know how I wanted to be credited, and whether I wanted a web-site link. All sorted out now. And I will get copies of the calendar. I am absolutely thrilled.

I suspected they might use them for something when they called late last year to ask about how they could be used; now I know. They will let me know at some point which four, as well.

I wish I could tell Mom and Dad. I at least got to tell them (or was it just Dad? I forget now--I think it was both) about the Gardens asking about my photos, back when, though. And hopefully, if it matters, somewhere they know. I suppose in the grand scheme of things it doesn't, but just now, today, it matters to me. And I wish I could tell them, 'cause I think they'd be pleased, maybe even proud.

I am. But somehow it feels nicer to let others be, for you. Huh.

WOW, congratulations!! Can we purchase this calendar? if so, will you let me know?

I know they will be selling it but I don't know whether it will be available anywhere but in their gift shop. I will see if I can find out, though!

Well I am proud of you, if that helps. My photo skills are non-existent, so I am always impressed with someone who can make a decent photo.

Thank you! I make a lot of not-so-decent photos too but with enough photos, a decent number do turn out. And I've been taking photos since I was rather small, although that was with a film camera, and not a real fancy one either. A lot of photography is spotting the interesting stuff - and having a good enough camera to get a good capture of it.

Very Cool! Congrats Laura!


Mom and Dad likely already know... perhaps even had something to do with it. :)

Thank you. And hopefully they do know. :)
