Just a little county fair, summer fun….
Prince William County Fair in Virginia.
Awesome. What would Annie (my dog) do with this?
No thank you. But looks like she's having fun!
King Kong and Sponge Bob.
Poor kid didn't know how to dismount Dumbo.
I’m headed to Maine on Saturday for a week-long multimedia workshop, the Portland Art Festival and sitting by the lake. So, you may not hear from me for a little while….but I’ll have lots to share when I return. Enjoy the last part of summer!
How many people out there dream of just doing their own thing? Being your own boss. Make the photographs you want to make. Wouldn’t that be nice? Well, in an effort to make that happen I’ve decided to give this a try. I will be selling my archival photographic prints at the Portland Art Festival on August 28 from 9-4 along with about 300 local and regional artists. I’ve enjoyed printing my work and I’m excited to show it. The goal here is to have some fun, see if this could be another outlet for my work and of course, another source of income. Here’s a preview of the prints that will be on display. All of the photographs will be from my personal project on Water.
Images from Maine, Virginia and Mexico.
If you’re in the area on the 28th, stop by and see me!

Ice boating. Feb 2010
Thank you rain and warm sun, the garden isn't dead yet!
So back in March I decided I wanted to start a vegetable garden. My first. I’ve always done some container tomatoes and herbs but this year, it was time to dig in the dirt and get serious. I started my seedlings and watched them grow about 2-3 inches high and then stop. Nope, they were not going to grow anymore. They were done. Ok, fine. So I headed off to the farmer’s market and spent less than $20 for tomato, pepper, nasturtium, mint, and basil plants. Hooray. The rest I’m growing from seed and seems to be going pretty good. Well, except when a little Boston Terrier named Murray gets in there and steps all over the broccoli. I could have done without that….
The summer squash plant that will likely take over the entire garden and the nasturtiums.
Couldn't get rid of my containers, tomatoes and basil. yum.
Happy Mother's Day!
Sending love and warm wishes to all my fabulous Mothers out there…Have a wonderful day!
An empty playground on Lake Champlain
You really can’t beat the view. Burlington, VT sits on the shores of the enormous Lake Champlain. It is the “greenest” city I’ve ever seen. It has awesome restaurants. People ride bikes all over the place. It has fun, eclectic shops. It has pretty much everything a girl like me could want. Maybe a move is in order :)
A very happy dog races towards his owner at the waterfront park.
Boat moorings on the end of the pier
It's still a little too cool for the boat moorings to be full.

Here’s a preview of photos from my weekend in beautiful Burlington, VT. I think I’m in love…
Burlington International Airport, Vermont
Hi Everyone! I hope you remembered that the “Moment in Time” was today at 15:00 UTC (11a.m. for me). Did you participate?? I was at the Burlington Airport waiting to go through security, so here’s my contribution.
Send me links to yours, I’d love to see what photographs my photo friends from all over the world made!
...taking in the sunrise.
...a hiking trail in a quiet forest.
This week I got my butt out of bed for a sunrise hike in Markham, Virginia. It was totally worth the 3:30a.m. alarm, the hike through the woods in the pitch dark, the ticks that latched onto my body (I hope I found them all…) and the pulled calf muscle I’m nursing today. Totally worth it. Because it’s a magical experience for me to have the chance to sit in the middle of the woods and listen to the birds start to chirp and the animals start to move around as the sun comes up.
