I'm very pleased to introduce Dolphin Magazine, a new online magazine. Published by Ocean (Magazine), a not for profit organization, it's dedicated to celebrating and protecting the earth's ocean and it's creatures says Publisher Diane Buccheri...









Dolphin, a beautifully conceived magazine, is filled with stories, photos, poetry, meditations and even a dolphin song. I'm grateful to have two photos in this first issue. If you'd like to have a look at this labor of love and inspiration, go here. And you can say hi to me here (photo and bio)! Thank you Diane for letting me be a part of Dolphin magazine.


I'd also like to introduce flower child photo cards.
I've been busy making cards (having fun!) with images from California's
spring wildflower bloom we found this year...



The cards are made with my 4x6 photographs.
An envelope and clear sleeve to protect are included until
ready to be used...


flower child photo cards*
pick one here!

  3. I`m proud to know you, too, Lori! So famous! What was that with you having been nine and...? What is scuba diving? And when did you start surfing? And playing volley ball? And photographing?
    Geeze, you are quite an impressing lady, my girl!

  4. Wonderful post!! I love your bio in the new magazine and will have to peruse it more thoroughly at my leisure. One the most magical experiences here for me have been with the dolphins. It's hard to describe how I feel when they come close...

    And your cards are gorgeous - of course, I couldn't resist and had to buy a few! ; )

    Much love to you, my sweet friend!! Silke

  6. Congratulations Lori! But, I am not surprised... we are new friends, but I knew at once you were a talented lady! The magazine is wonderful! And....Dolphins.....what can I possibly say or add... beautiful, intelligent, magical creatures.
    You are blessed to have them so close to you.... (waters too cold up here.... just Sea Lions, Seals and....yup......Great Whites).

    The Wildflower Cards are GORGEOUS! Brava Lori!

    Mim,
    Diane's done a beautiful job, thank you so much for saying so. The hat was made with the softest alpaca i've ever felt, unfortunatly i made up the pattern and now can't remember it or i would share. Thank you so much!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    thank you natsy darling ♥

    Geli,

    haha! the scuba was my dad's idea, its where you wear a face mask, tank, regulator and go deep under water. he was a diver and used to bring me along with him. but i always prefered to bob around near the surface. you can see lots of sealife though!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Silke,
    Thank you, oh thank you. I am so touched. You have really made my day.
    It's how i feel around dolphins too, they are completely magical. Thank you again for everything. ♥

    Bhavana,
    OH WOW! thank you so much too, I will send them out this morning on my way to work. Thank you for your words, they mean so much to me.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Robin,
    thank you! oh we have those too, there is an abundance of sealife here, so the food chain is always in effect. Dolphins are incredible creatures, i love them so much! thank you for your kind words ♥

    Rosaria,
    i hope you'll enjoy! thank you for looking!

  9. this post has everything! (okay, no body parts...)

    i feel a special affinity with dolphins. they got out of their way to care for us humans--so gentle and playful and loyal.

    yay that you've done cards, lori!! i don't know where you find the time, but you are a first class ARTIST.

    i'm going to stop people at the post office and tell them that my friend lori is famous!! and that she's going to be even more famous. and if anyone asks for my autograph because of my association with you, i am going to put on my sunglasses, throw my hair back, and pull out my waterman pen.

    i shall ride on your waves. :)

    love love
