Bird of Paradise

We went to the pool.  Behind the rock waterfall is a Bird of Paradise plant.  I have looked at it for quite a while, and thought it would be interesting to take some shots of it.  This time, the blossoms were perfect.  I used my 90mm Tamron macro.  I like that lens, but it was a little difficult under these circumstances.  The plants were between the rocks by the pool and an iron fence.  So, I had to get the picture by shooting between the bars of the fence.  But, it still came out nicely.

Business Matters

Things have not gone altogether is envisioned.  I was kind of hoping that this year, I might start getting some actual paying clients, but so far it is not working.  Debbie and I had a little chat about things and decided there must be some way of getting the word out and marketing.  But, what that is eludes me.

I have visited a few internet sites and they provide a fair amount of information on the business aspects and getting those going.  I have completed a form to register the name and do business in the county.  I have gone on line and looked into insurance, but it seems like that is not really necessary unless I have clients.  So, that is kind of on the back burner.  Everyone says I need a business plan.  So, I will be giving that a lot of thought as I proceed.  But, there is very little in the way of advice on how to find clients.

It is July 4th, and I will be giving this topic a great deal of thought over the holiday.
