A few days ago, I looked at the date and something in my brain triggered.  I immediately thought that it was the birthday of a friend from childhood, but a quick check on Facebook proved me wrong.  The feeling continued to nag at me, but I couldn’t figure out why.  I asked myself questions:  Did […]

The house is quiet except for the much needed hum of the air conditioner and the sound of Ingrid Michaelson singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow.  It’s late and I should probably go to bed but there are nights–nights like tonight–when I must stop here first.  Some might label it compulsion.  Or an obsession–my need to […]

This morning I was shocked by the news I recived when I logged into Facebook. (My main news source, these days) Dad, I’m sure you’re very proud of that last piece of information. Anyway, the first status update I saw this morning was, how did July get here?  I was a bit confused by this […]

    LOVELY.

    Clouds are one of my favorite things to look at in picture form….and in real life. When I took a photography class in college SO many of my pictures where of clouds. The teacher asked me to find another subject to photograph 🙂

    Your pictures are gorgeous!!

    When we were driving home from WV, there were so many pictures I took of the clouds. They were gorgeous the whole way home!

    I too can NOT believe it is July. Nope. Can't believe it.

    For one, this year has FLOWN by. I don't ever remember time going so fast. But also, it means my son turns two in about TWO months.

    WHAT THE, WHAT?!?! HOW?!!! Where is the time going?!

    Oh, and we are totally hiring you within the next year to take photos. We had a groupon for photos at JCP and while a few turned out good, I was so disappointed….especially when I see the beauty you capture. I told Terry, when we do the next photos I have a person to call!! And since my family lives in Dover we can even come to you on a trip home 🙂ReplyCancel
