With many tears in my eyes, my heart expresses such deep gratitude to each and every one of you who left comments about Tuxedo’s tragic demise. Such loving and kind words were shared from you and I could feel the strength and caring each of you expressed. It […]
It was a day of bi-polar weather with the sunrise illuminating the snow that was heavily falling on the bay. By noon, the dark gray skies moved east, opening up to beautiful bright blue skies with puffy clouds. I had visions of visiting the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore […]
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 […]

A very cold morning with the car thermometer registering a balmy 8 degrees F. This Florida sun bunny has never been in single digit temperatures before. But having lived in Maryland for over ten years now, I have grown acclimated to the cold. That and a huge wardrobe […]
