Yesterday’s post of the Leather Repair shop made me think of Leather and Lace. Tucked around the manor are some lovely treasures that are worthy of showing. Delicate etchings placed in sterling created by unknown artists. The craftsmanship and art work created in these pieces are only appreciated […]
A rare find, and a true treasure and resource for equestrians and motor bikers is Outback Leather in Laurel, Maryland. In business for at least 40 years, walking into the shop is like taking a step back in time. With the warm scent of leather oil, and old […]

Last night’s webinair was a lot of fun, and all it did was motivate me even more to get out there and keep photographing birds. This afternoon, I stalked my front yard for a bit. Although the hummingbird and gold finch were more concerned about what I was […]
I must admit, I believe I’m suffering from bird AD&D. There’s not a flutter in a tree that doesn’t cause me to stop in my tracks and look. What could it be? Is it something yellow? Is it perhaps blue? With a camera, I’m able to capture these […]
