Bev Tabet PHOTOGRAPHY

Well I am out of the studio space along the river on Franklin Street in Exeter and will be moving to Hampton at the end of the month.  Looking forward to setting up my studio space at home and taking lots of sunrise and sunset photos at the ocean.  Will post more once I am moved.

Shaving Brush Flower About two years ago I saw a photo of this type of flower on FaceBook posted by an awesome photographer in Tortola.  When I visit Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, I like to go to the J.R. O'Neal Botanic Gardens.  It's a small, unpretentious little garden with the friendliest staff.  I have hundreds if not close to a thousand photos from my visits there.  After seeing the Shaving Brush (which  I didn't know it was called that until last year), I went on a hunt for my own perfect photo!   In August 2011 I went to Tortola for their Emancipation Festival and the flower was already gone by. I went back in April 2012 and the tree had bloomed but the blossoms were on the ground so one of the arborists held one bloom so I could get a photo. They told me they usually bloom in March. This year I went to Tortola for February vacation which went through March 3, 2013. I went to the Botanic Gardens on March 1st and went right t...

Today is the Alpha Xi Delta Reunion Potluck Cookout so I will be good all day!  Starting my day off with a Green Smoothie with Organic baby romaine and spinach, some blackberries (was looking for black raspberries but couldn't find them), raspberries, blueberries, banana and a little Greek yogurt. Hmmmm, maybe I'll throw a little pineapple in, too. This is the BEST tasting smoothie I've made so far.  And I remember thinking my Jr. High Home Ec teacher was cRaZy when we had to make banana milkshakes back in the late 60's early 70's!  I guess she was ahead of the curve.  Maybe NOT with her broiled oranges though! I had a turkey club on Syrian bread for lunch. I grilled some zucchini, summer squash and onions for the party. They came out great - I'll have to do more of that this summer. We had fruit salad, potato salad, kale salad, pasta salad, grilled chicken, desserts and lots of other yummy dishes that I'd been looking forward to all day.  Oh I got ...

Two weeks since I started my "Back on Track" lifestyle. :-)  Still down 5 pounds and feeling good! Today I ate a banana and some Ezekiel Cereal with blueberries, raspberries and almond milk. Very hot today so I caught up on my Blog postings and am ready to tackle my Boston photos now. We're havin' a Heat Wave and I'm feeling like it's too hot to cook. So I threw together a salad with organic baby romaine, cucumbers, Roma tomatoes, black olives (which I LOVE), carrots, the last of the leftover chicken and heated up the last of the leftover corn on the cob.  I went to Rite Aid to print some of my Tortola flowers to send to the National Park Service who may want to buy them from me and they were having an in-store special with a Wellness card - 15 cents each 4x6 print. Stopped for a quart of watermelon sherbet and a quart of chocolate fudge walnut at Stillwell's Riverwalk on my way home and only had a spoonful of each! :-)  Having the Alpha Xi ...
