    Awesome!!! Now you REALLY need a good bag :)
     @@meganbroutian i got a new epiphanie for my d800 ;)
     @KarenLynnn Nice!
     @KarenLynnn That is some technical sounding language! 
    Congratulations!!!! 
     @KarenLynnn which one? pic please :) [I need a cute bag for my new nikon too]  
     @KarenLynnn If you got the pink Karen, I'm buying one right now [matching BlogHer bags]
     @@meganbroutian I got the ginger in brown, I love it Megan, it's perfect, light weight and holds a bunch.  http://www.epiphaniebags.com/#/shopginger/ I already have the Lyric in purple... and don't buy the Paris because it doesn't have secure closure on the top.  
     @FatCat I met Epiphanie bags at BlogHer11, and fell in love.  They are camera bags designed for women.  And, the D800 is Nikon's new dslr, very hard to get.  I had to jump through hoops to find one.  Does that help Miss Kitty?
     @FatCat thank you Miss Kitty :)
     @@meganbroutian i took a pic for you and posted it to twitter gf
     @KarenLynnn  I was hoping you got the Karen, Karen. It's piiiiiiink, our BlogHer12 color, 'member? If we can't match, I'd rather carry my regular purse (humm, Valentino maybe) and stuff my camera in it.
    Looking forward to some great pictures!!  Enjoy the taking!
     @@meganbroutian there's a Karen bag?  where?  can I see a link?
     @elaineR.N. I'm afraid of it!
     @KarenLynnn Ha-Ha! KarenLynn. Not for long, I'm sure. Congratulations!
     @KarenLynnn Neat...never heard of them...going to go look. You ARE the BlogHer trend setter!
     @KarenLynnn It was the Belle bag. It said "Karen featuring the Belle bag in pink" so of course I thought how perfect!

  • : Good morning! I feel a blog coming on titled "when the Ex comes to town"...
    I feel as if I'll read this post ! My ex is always in town. She lives just two blocks from me.
    Uh oh!!
    @cdrdash Yikes. I need distance ;)
    Whoa-a-whoa-whoa...sounds like a country music song possibility! Sending strength and love, Fondly, Robin
     @KarenLynnn  @cdrdash I rarely see her.  We mostly run in different circles since we broke up.  #Giggles ... just had a wonderful literal picture of the two of us running in circles.
     @SunbonnetSmart.com Thanks :)  I did manage to get out before they arrived this morning.  whew!  we pretty much ignore each other, which is weird.  (insert blog idea here) haha!
     @Laine Griffin it's ok, just strange.  
     @cdrdash haha! 
    I agree!  Totally sounds like a country song.  : )
    Looking forward to reading that post.  I expect that civility and aloof will reign. It is the undercurrents and what wasn't said that will be the story. 
     @elaineR.N. it went ok, just saw him for a few hours on Saturday at the birthday party... i'm glad he's here, nikki needs dad time.  it's just weird

About Me: 

Hi, I'm Karen.  Nice to meet you!  My hobbies are floral photography and gardening.  I plant my garden with flowers for their artistic potential.  I love dahlias and cosmos, and quite frankly anything that blooms.  I belong to Boerner Botanical Gardens in Hales Corners, WI.  I go there for photo's and inspiration.  

I hail from Milwaukee suburbia, the Fox River runs just past our property line.  I'm the proud mom of 2 incredible children, one is 29 and the other is 31.  There are also 2 beautiful and sweet grandbabies in my life.  And 4 pups.  Turbo, Holly, Ted E Bear and Cho Cho (named after ChoChoSan in Madame Butterfly).  

I shoot with a Nikon D300 and mainly the 105mm micro for macro shots, and the 28-300mm for everything else.  When we are somewhere like the zoo to shoot, you can hear me muttering "i wish i had more zoom".

I often wish I had taken more photos, but no regrets of anything I missed.  

The Indigo Girls and The Beatles are a few of my favorite bands, but my music taste varies widely from rock to Opera.

I've been to one Blogher Convention in San Diego in 2011.  Seeing how many women out there are like me with something to say inspired me to start writing again.

 This year I will be a 5 year breast cancer survivor!
