			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK, I do not like winter. It&#8217;s cold, gray, and unlikeable. Everything outside looks dead and bare. It&#8217;s just dreadful. As some of you know,  I don&#8217;t have a studio, so when someone wants pictures done, let&#8217;s say in December or so, I am at a standstill for locations. The deadness of winter does not inspire me at all.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve had a few requests for shoots this month, and I want to say, &#8216;well you&#8217;re pictures are gonna look DEAD&#8217;, but I just say it to myself, put on a happy face and go over ideas of the shoot and locations and such. My partner Pamela booked a shoot with a friend of hers and I don&#8217;t know who suggested it, but a mutual friend of ours opened up his landscaping business for us to shoot at. Imagine my thoughts for a moment&#8230; &#8216;Well what can you landscape in winter? Rocks?&#8217; &#8216;All the plants will be dead&#8217;, &#8216;I dunno know about this Pam&#8217;</p>
<p>We arrive at our shoot and I walk into the greenhouse and it was GORGEOUS! Absolutely beautiful. AND IN THE WINTER!! The plants were green, there was a koi pond, a waterfall, ROSES!!!! I was pleasantly surprised and SO thankful Pamela came up with this location for us!!</p>
<p><a title="Spring Rise Landscaping" href="http://www.springrise.com/index.cfm" target="_blank">Spring Rise Landscaping </a>does excellent work, and I highly recommend using them for all your landscaping needs. They do landscaping, hardscapes, stone work, waterscapes, you name it! Hey, if you can makes things bloom in December, you&#8217;re as good as gold in my book : ) Thanks Ralph for opening up your place to us!!</p>
<p>Wanna see what it looked like? I didn&#8217;t have much time at the shoot, with nighttime coming to quickly, but I had to get a few shots in. Enjoy!</p>
