The terrain in Shenandoah National Park is wonderous. The Applician Trail whines through the park. Little did I know what I had said yes to when a dear friend asked if I wanted to come. My mindset was completely different than last summers adventure and I am never one to miss a photo opp!…

The Little Things
Many of us take walks in nature and to accomplish something – whether its to get our daily steps in, or to channel the dogs energy or just to clear our heads, I understand as I have done all of the above. When was the last time you truly embraced nature and noticed the little…
Lake Time
On a glorious afternoon in August a group of friends gathered for a reunion. The magic of the water was aparent. Opening up the doors to the home and stepping out on the deck you were drawn to the water. The abundance of dragonflies danced around us. This little slice of heaven provided the perfect…
Garden Party
I had the privileged to photograph a bridal shower in the rolling hills of Chester County. Set in and among horse country. The sun shining through the trees and added a glimmer of excitement to the air. No detail was missed. The tables all sat dressed in dusty blue…
Partner in Crime
I have had dogs all my life and they were apart of the household/ With luck, they had water in the dog bowl, food after everyone was fed and a walk when the craziness of life didn’t take over. Then this little pup showed up, this cute little fluff ball. Loved stuffed animals, has more…
Winter Solstice in the City
The evening started with a Christmas concert in the city. Filled with the energy of the season and camera in hand to explore. The night was warm for a December winter night and the rain gave me a free pass to explore without being damp. Headed toward city hall and stumbled upon the winter…
Sights of Fall

It is time for warm cider, apple pies and fireplaces. The harvest of pumpkins are abundant this year and a time of transition to cooler…
Half of the Whole
My hiking adventures have taken me to the mountains, the coast and lots of little nooks and crannies in-between. The camera in hand captures a lot of special things that I miss on first blush. This was caught along the coast of Maryland when visiting a lighthouse. I believe we all have a…
Secret Garden
There is a place close to home that you can lose yourself in the beauty of nature. In the the middle of suburbia where you feel like you are in a secret garden. The grounds have been nurtured and loved by the caretakers. The gardens have shape and textures that give and go with…
Eyes – the Soul Connection
Whether we want to recognize it or not, our eyes are the connection to our souls. We mask our true hearts desire through the expressions on our faces, but our eyes tell the story. The innocence of a child can be seen in their eyes. Wonderment and delight, doubt and wary can be see if…
Mountain Top
After a recent visit to Mountain Top, I got to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. A warm genuine couple opened their home and I got to embrace a wonderful weekend. Sitting by the lake embracing the morning coffee. The water lily’s opening to the day as the day started with a sweet…
Beauty of the Brandywine
In Chester County Pennsylvania, there is a beautiful creek called the Brandywine. There the water flows shallow in areas and deeper in others. This is surrounded by hiking and biking trails that snake through the county. As we wonder down the trail, fly fisherman are out on the river wading with their rods in…
