Barns in the Snow

  Earth teach me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life. Earth teach me resignation as the leaves which die in the fall. Earth teach me courage as the tree which stands all alone. Earth teach me regeneration as the seed which rises in the spring. […]

Snow at Sandy Point Park

Being snowed in yesterday, I took the opportunity to continue working on merging my multiple hard drives into one main working drive. Finally getting all of my backed up images onto one 3 Terabyte drive, I imported them into Lightroom. Total image count? 111,236. Yep..over one hundred thousand […]

At the Beach

When I think of the beach, I think of blue skies, balmy breezes, green sea oats and soft sand under my bare feet. I do not think of gray skies, frigid winds, dried sea grasses and frozen ice and snow on the beach.   One day perhaps summer […]

Iced In

Along Kent Island is a small and safe harbor that houses a number of crab, fishing and oyster boats. A true Chesapeake Bay Watermen’s local haven, where the century long tradition of creating a livelihood from the bay is held. This winter has been an exceptionally cold winter. […]

Squeaky Toy

This morning I headed out to Maryland’s Eastern Shore in search of a Red Necked Grebe at Kent Narrows. I had never known that birds could be red necks. I did find the Grebe, and a few other charming ducks along the water. It was quite chilly and […]

Get My Picture on the Cover

Not quite the Cover of the Rolling Stones, but on the cover nevertheless. It’s time to share some small successes in the developing story of becoming a professional photographer and writer. Last fall, a publishing house contacted me and wanted to use one of my images from Gettysburg […]

I Miss Green

I miss green. The bitter winter has clamped on with its sharp talons, vowing to never let go. The gentle breezes and soft smells of spring seem like a lost dream. With blue skies and puffy clouds warming our skin after a long cold winter. Colorful butterflies dancing […]

On a Wild Goose Chase

The wild goose chase actually started yesterday at the wee hours of pre-dawn at five in the morning. Heading out of the house at six in order to arrive at Quarry Lake in Baltimore, Maryland before the sun rose, the thought of seeing a rare goose was better […]

Ice Ice Bay

The long term below freezing temperatures has caused the Chesapeake Bay to be filled with ice. It is a rather unusual for the bay to be iced covered and hubby doesn’t remember the bay being frozen like this since 1976. The wildlife have been looking for open patches […]

Going on a Lark

The past couple of days have been a bit crazy, but today certainly made up for it. Meeting with two girlfriends, we headed out to the eastern shore of Maryland, all for a Lark. The temperature gauge on the car read 3 degrees when we were nearing our […]
