Home again

Home after the storm. We are very grateful to not have any damage and our power is back on. Phone lines are down.. but thank goodness I have a dsl line working. I am busy rescheduling our appointments and looking for new areas to shoot. My oldest is not back in school until next week at the earliest.  I hope everyone came through the storm with minimal damage. I heard today there is another storm brewing... surely not going to hit here again!

Here are a couple more shots from our little trip away. Last one is SB's big treasure - a rock with crystal's in it. 

On a Hurrication ...

Hurricane Ike has come and gone. We are in Austin - waiting for power to return in Houston. I can't even imagine that it could be 4 weeks without power! I've tried to get in touch with those that I was supposed to meet with this week without luck. I know everyone is concentrating on getting back to normal and cleaning up debris. Just so there is no confusion - if you do have power - I don't and won't be back for a while. I don't think that family portraits are at the top of anyones list right now.. 

Our house was fine - almost hit by a giant tree limb . My brother T.J. (Fry) wasn't so lucky. He has 2 huge trees on his house and his chimney was ripped off. He's got a huge mess and a ton of drywall to replace. 

So, I'll be catching up on some work up here and shooting some of these pretty skies. Might even get my Christmas card photos done!  Here are a couple shots from yesterday.
