Just Hanging Around

Almost every night, when I return to my apartment, there is this cute ginger cat peering over the balcony in one of the upstairs apartments. On this night, I couldn’t resist. Grabbed my camera and snapped. You never know who’s watching you.

Black and White v. Color

It always amazes me how a simple shift from color to black and white changes the entire mood of a photo. In the color photo, my eyes are drawn to the trees, yet in the black and white version of the exact same photo, I am caught by the car lights at the end of…

Three of a Kind

To get this shot, I was on the ground (sort of obvious, right?). But I say that to say this, sometimes a great picture requires sacrifice. I am prone when my husband leans down next to me and whispers, “Did you check the ground for bird poop first?” I’m shocked – bird poop!? (side note:…

Best of 2019

New Year in the Light

Nothing to see here…I’m just basking in the sun. As this New Year begins, that is my prayer for each of you – that you can bask in the sun! That you will shed the old and take hold of the new. Welcome 2020 – this new decade – with open arms, and strive to…

I Love a Rainy Night

Christmas has come and gone, and the remnants are messy – torn wrapping paper under the tree, leftovers in the fridge…mostly picked over, and decorations with no looming expectations awaiting. The peace after the chaos. That’s what this photo reminds me of…the peace that comes with the season. Not the material element of Christmas but…
