One day I was shopping in Walgreens and happened to notice 35mm film for sale on the wall. Remembering quickly about the really interesting camera kit I inherited from my Aunt, I purchased a four-pack. Anxious to pull out the camera and experiment, the film box..well, began to […]
Hidden along the rolling hills of Maryland’s countryside near the Catoctin Mountains is a small town known as Utica Mills. One of the few remaining covered bridges is here. Built around 1850, this beautiful bridge was originally set on the Monocacy River. In 1889, a strong storm […]
It’s been a long time since rain has been at the manor. A strong storm front blew through this afternoon, dropping much needed rain and lead by strong winds. At the barn when the storm began blowing in, 30 mph winds blew through the barn, kicking up all […]

Can’t tell you how much I hate being stopped in my tracks with a thrown back. This week was supposed to be a birding bonanza, but instead I’ve had to settle for staying at home. Sitting in a chair for brief periods, and a window cracked open I […]
Wouldn’t you know that when leaning forward to capture a photo yesterday my back went out. I never knew that photography could be a dangerous sport! So bear with me while I share a few images from previous adventures for today while I recover. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ People are like […]
