Florida, settling in finally!

Well it's been a few weeks and I think I'm fairly settled in here in Florida. I know my way around town for the most part.

I L-O-V-E it here! It's so lovely, and green everywhere. We have a state park family pass, so we can go dive the caves, and swim in the springs and hike whenever we please (which we have already taken advantage of.) We also have an annual pass to Ginnie Springs (which is open to divers until midnight, allowing my husband and I to dive any evening during the week as long as one of us is watching the little one.)

There's also a farmers market every thursday here in town ( http://farmersmarket.highsprings.com/ ). I have every intention of crafting my heart out the next few months to get in on it. :) I've already got a few projects finished and a few more close to it. (I'll be sharing pics soon!)

Little one is enjoying the two libraries within 15 miles of the house, and they have story times two days of the week. Great! She can be around other kiddos her age!

I have been kind of laying low in the photography market so far. I haven't done much preparing or setting up since this move was a 180 from our original plan to move to Oklahoma City. This is not to say I haven't been shooting. I've been toting my camera around here and there (and into the earth on a cave dive or two), I just haven't set myself up for clients yet....I hope to change that soon. I do miss having other photographers I know in the area to chat and network with....it's kind of a bummer I have to start from scratch on so many levels. I just have to work harder to get out there. Guess I'll have to get some marketing material out there to some of the local shops and such, maybe see if any of them need some promo photos for websites or anything in exchange for passing out my cards and such.

Well, that's it for now. Got to get to the Farmer's Market for some more yummy pumpkin bread! <3
