Eyes of a child

Have you ever stepped back and watched a child, full of excitement and glee?     Everything is new to them.   Everything is filled with wonder and excitement.    When we are in the moment as a parent we forget to embrace those times when life is magical. These eyes, maybe blue, green or brown.  But…

Easter

Its a time of family.  To slow down and enjoy each others company with food and conversation. Spring is here with the flowers of the season.    Egg hunts and giggles of chocolate treasures. Time for the Egg Hunt – and treasures to be found!  

Magical Night

A quiet and peaceful walk through a sleepy town covered in white.  The day was filled with another March snow storm, but the night was filled with calm. As we wander the streets that would normally have the hustle and bustle of the ending day, calm and silence filled the air.   The beauty of the…

Winter wonderland

There are few opportunities to catch nature as its purest.   This morning when the sun rose, the ground trees and life was covered in heavy white snow. Unlike other snowy mornings, this opportunity was fast and fleeting.   Today was not the bitter cold of winter, but a moment in time where with one quick breeze,…

First spring hike

The first glimmers of spring has appeared.   Cool crispness is still in the air and some residual snow piles remain.   It’s time for the ground to wake up and explode with color. Maggie is ready for adventures.   Time in the sun and hiking brings new scents to explore.     The hills…

Green Eyed Wonder

Have you ever felt you were given a gift that truly was meant for you?    I rescued Maggie as a puppy no bigger than my shoes, adorable with those green eyes. This little puppy grabbed my heart, she pushes my buttons and when I am sad, she snuggles up next to me to give…

Remnant of Ole’

Living in Chester County has a home town feel.    Walking the streets after a fresh snow and catching a glimpse of the past holiday season. The quiet peace of the neighborhoods still donning the remnants of Christmas.   The snow shimmering from the greens.    As winter sets in more of the same cold and…

Lunch Visitors

After an arduous descent and trek across a vase open crater, we settled in for some well deserved lunch.    Sitting in the midday sun, taking in the surrounding views were every bit as amazing as the day had been. Did you ever have the experience, you knew you were suppose to be right where…

The Crater

Stepping back into nature surprises me daily.    After a 3.6 mile descent into belly of the volcano the surface changed, the colors and terrain were harder.    Sitting in the office daily we lead sheltered lives, there is so much more to see and do once you step outside. The views are amazing.  They…

Natural Beauty

The water has a natural attraction for me and when you add the beauty of a horse on the beach.   His calm presence almost if posing for pictures was breathtaking. As the day came to an end and this majestic creature was walking up the beach.     He was not bothered by my camera, not…

Rocks and Waves

I am so at peace with the ocean.   When you add the element of rocks or in this case boulders my heart sings.  Challenging  to climb and find the top with no one saying STOP!       I could sit on top of the monster wall – silently watching the waves crash.  The fine mist…

Sliding Sands

The last full day on Maui proved to be the best adventure.    I never expected to find such peace and exhilaration.   The ride to the Summit of 10,000 feet  was sheer beauty.  Parking above the clouds and to embark on a hike that will be forever etched in my mind. The temperature changed quickly…
