7-Up
How many of you actually remember that soft drink? I was never one for soft drinks but, as a kid, I always loved their logo. Speaking of logo, I finally have a logo for my photography business. I likely won’t begin using it on my photos and adding it here until next week (need to learn the in’s and out’s of applying it). Now for a different sort of 7-up below.
Jamie at Umbrellablog tagged me for sharing 7 random or unusual things about myself. I am breaking with my rule about participating in these but I decided to participate but minus the tagging. Thank you for thinking of me Jamie. I thought it may be a good idea to share more about me other than just the photography. So here’s my 7-up!
- I’m an only child and I only had one child.
- I am deeply and innately drawn to bodies of water: ocean in particular, but also rivers, lakes, streams.
- I’m also a writer and, in addition to the short stories, a few poems, and numerous magazine articles published, I’ve also won two writing contests in which my stories were produced for radio.
- I’ve survived cancer but lost my dear and precious mother to cancer.
- We have three dogs and feed them a species-appropriate meat-and-bones diet.
- I’ve been environmentally friendly for decades and for the past two years have written a weekly environment column for a local newspaper.
- I live in a rural northern area of Alberta and miss being near the city VERY much; I do enjoy country living but we’re much too far away from any urban centre.

Thanks for playing! I love your new logo. The colors, the font, the image…it all works for me. It’s great getting to know a few things about you. I am also drawn to water and am so blessed to live in a place where I’m surrounded by lakes, rivers, and the Puget Sound – but I still get my fix of the city only 10min away.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Whoever came up with that logo
should get a raise.

I love your new logo too! Interesting to learn these things about you. I too am drawn to water which explains why I left the prairies. Your image of the field is such a typical winter scene of the the prairies shot in a unique and completely beautiful way. Thanks for sharing you.

I also love the logo. I need to make myself one but have no vision for it yet.
Thanks you sharing the facts about yourself. I am glad to hear you beat cancer, it takes far to many people. I can’t imagine what a scary time it must have been for you considering you lost you mum to the illness.
Congratulations on winning writing contests.
