There is nothing more therapeutic in my opinion than digging in the dark soil, until it’s trapped beneath my fingernails, or pulling out the weeds around a plant or in a bed. These sneaky imposters, sporting defiant root systems and a plethora of seeds would like to spread themselves far and wide, but not while […]

I thought I would share my pictures of the “supermoon” from my view in Southwest FL. I am not in possession of a lot of high dollar equipment; took these with my daughter’s Canon DSLR with a zoom lens attached. It was fun to capture these and quite simple. Hope you enjoy!

Why can’t we see that people are hurting? Why do some people rush to spread bad news, but don’t bother to take the time to clear up a nasty rumor? We are all touched by pain, turmoil and tragedy, are we not? We all suffer so how do we forget what that feels like. How […]

The challenge this week is “fleeting”….I love this photo; I’ve always wondered not only what she was doing, but what she was thinking. I live for moments like these! To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a […]

I am just sitting here on this rainy night, contemplating our upcoming anniversary outing this weekend. We will probably drive a few hours just to “get away” and go fishing, something we both enjoy and I don’t have the pleasure of doing very often. I felt the corners of my mouth turn upward into a […]
