staging mishaps

i never thought we'd leave our beloved cheboygan community, friends, & home. i never thought the potted basil plant we gave 'family' for P & B's gifts last Christmas would also be reminders of our garden we left behind. but with God's grace it's also a reminder to bloom where we're planted.

i volunteered to photograph our home for the real estate listing. i wanted to capture each nook and cranny, literally, in it's best light. over the course of 4 consecutive sunny days (in between pager calls) the task was completed, but not without outtakes. goodbye house with the sledding hill, river, garden, mystical magical miraculous backyard, curving driveway, purple skies, 84 degree living room, giant tub that i never used, 9 foot sunflowers...
