Kitty

 

What is it about kitties and my husband? He is just a big softy and came home with this sweet, little, playful, always purring kitty. My Happy Halloween surprise!

Nature

 

After a hard day at work, gazing at this photograph gives me peace- the colors, the light and shadows. I am transported remembering the sounds of the rainforest, the warmth of the sun, and the slight breeze which accompanied me on long walks through Tirumbina.

Tall

 

The rainforest of Costa Rica was one of the most amazing places I have visited. It is forever in my memory.

Blooming

 

Take a look at this Hibiscus blooming. Visitors are uncertain whether it is real or not!

My Little Chickadee!

 

Today was downright cold. The kind of day you had wished you had worn gloves or mittens. Dropping temperatures means a return of the little chickadee. As I walked to my car after work near dusk I heard the familiar, "Chick-a-dee-dee-dee." It made me SMILE after a long day.

Self-Portrait Study

Here is my beautiful and multi-talented daughter, guest photographer, and "Super Twin".

Sliced and Tossed

OK, OK...sometimes I try too hard and the results are disastrous. I was trying to set up for cool photo. As I sliced the pineapple, the shots looked too set up. In desparation I tossed the remnants in the trash. About 30 minutes later walking by I noticed a pattern in the fruit and quickly stuck my camera in the trash! I know, I know I need to compost.

Wild Thing

What's wilder than an erupting volcano? I took this shot while in La Fortuna, Costa Rica. The rumbling could be heard all about town.

Cheese

Is this cheesey enough?

What's in Your Glove Compartment?

This automobile does get me to work and back while my son is using my brand new car to get back and forth to his college classes. The sacrifices of a parent!

Jewels

Our Backyard

Imagine...this is our neighborhood. How lucky are we?

Family

What would I do without my family?

The Passage of Time

Photographs are my way of stopping time, if only for a minute or two.

Nearly November

It is October 21st. In 70 degree temperatures in the shade, I journeyed about in search of fall colors. That I did find, but I also found the unexpected a lupine. Come visit Maine in JUNE (yes I said June) and you will find hillsides in hues of purple, pink and sometimes white lupine. Did someone say there was no evidence of global warming? This is scary.

OOOOOOOH SO SCARY!

Just in time for Halloween. "It" gives me the creeps! Of course, there is a story behind this image. While on the beach earlier this summer, my son found an eyeball. As I basked in the sun he leaned over me and tried to freak me out. Of course I was freaked, just think of all the germs on that eyeball!

REAL Cheese, REALLY!

He couldn't eat just one!

The Long and Windy Road

Their commitment to learning-a multi mile walk to school.

Butterfly With Your Carrot?

This monarch was found alive amongst the carrots in the butterfly garden at my school in Maine on October 19th. Here it is nearly November! What an amazing study in symmetry.
