Marcus' orchids are beginning to bloom -- a sure sign that spring isn't too far away.
In other news, here are some cool things I've found recently while I was supposed to be working on the book:
- I purchased a custom iPhone case from Uncommon, using one of my photos (the image that's in the banner of the front page of my site, in case you were wondering), and it arrived last week. Holy moly, do I love this thing. If you are a photographer or any type of artist and you happen to have an iPhone, run-do-not-walk to this site and pick yourself up one. It's very cool.
- Within one week, two people have recommended this book to me. Is that a sign?
- Speaking of books, on the flight to Utah, I read this little novella by Steve Martin. A bit strange, but a quick read, and ultimately quite good.
- Update -- Speaking of more books, just found out that Gayla's book, Grow Great Grub, is available now. Gayla is a friend of mine, and she gave me an early copy of this book at the ALT Summit. It is seriously beautiful: all the photos were taken by either her or her husband, and her husband did the graphic design of the book. It's full of really great, informative gardening tips, even if your garden happens to be on the fire escape outside of your window. A really, really gorgeous work, and if you have any interest at all in gardening, you would do well to own it. No lie, and I would honestly say this even if she weren't my friend.
- Loving this post by Eden.
- I've never mentioned it before, but I have a separate little blog where I dump my iPhone photos, shots taken while I'm out and about. If you're interested, you can find it here.
More soon.

Not sure on the love signs books, but I have heard good things about his work... but Steve Martin I enjoy! Have you read Shopgirl? It's worth a read. Quirky but thoughtful.
Love your pictures, blog, twitter. And thanks for the tip on Uncommon. My iPhone deserves such loveliness!

The love languages is a very good book. It's a pretty easy read as well.
The iPhone case is too cool and I love what you've done with your iPhone pictures. I just moved about 1000 off my hard drive the other day.
I would love to know which iPhone Photo apps you are using.

Hey Karen, so cool on the iPhone covers! I have to get me one! Quick question for you, I am totally addicted to the Shakeit app and I see that you use it too. Do you happen to know how to upload Shakeit photos to your flickr stream? Thanks!
