Good Sunday, everyone. A few days ago, I arrived home and was greeted by my screaming son, who wanted to know if I saw the praying mantis outside. I told him that I did not, and just as quickly as he told me all about the green-brown bug standing sentry by the front door. he…

I first want to thank all of you who have contacted me in recent days, checking in to see if all is okay. As is always the case in the end of August, I get swept away in preparing for back to school. This year’s preps were joined by a wondrous trip to Florida (drove…

Greetings, all: I’ve been writing in various places, but I didn’t realize that so much time had passed since my last post here. I thought I’d spend a little time sharing my “best of” nature photos from the last few months. All of these photos were taken with my Nikon D300 with a Nikkor 105…

Thank God for stop lights. If you are like me, it’s not hard to get caught up in the whirlwind of life, sweeping you off your feet as you try desperately to keep up with family, work, and various social networks—real and virtual—that matter a great deal to you. In fact, we often get swept…

What a magnificent day. From the early-morning shoot, to a day at the beach, then over to Assateague for a brilliant sunset, then back to the Boardwalk for a late-night walk, we could not have asked for a more complete and memory-filled day. Sunday served as our climactic “event” day of our vacation; now we…

Good morning. I just don’t think I’m going to make it for a sunrise while we’re down here, at least not for a photo shoot. Truth is, I don’t have the lens for it, or the tripod. No worries…. 🙂 Gives me good reason to sleep in a bit! I did get up at 6…

After spending day three in the sun, the humidity, the rain, and then the colder winds blowing off the bay, I know three things: My son can nearly read grafitti in bathroom stalls (because so many words look and sound quite similar to a word he knows well: Truck); My son absolutely hates fast rides…

What a truly blessed day. We have just arrived home from spending the day and evening at the beach, where everybody had a wonderful time. That is, once we finally secured breakfast. You see, I learned a very important lesson today: either update your GPS software when they tell you to, or simply open your…

It’s amazing what a 3-hour drive will do to calm your tensions and anxieties. When we left Baltimore around 3 p.m., each of us was a little stressed about getting ready for the trip, packing, and taking care of last-minute needs around the house. As we headed toward Ocean City, MD, however, we could feel…

I never hesitate, now, to take my camera, Bellatrix, with me wherever I go, especially if it is an outdoor excursion. Even the simplest of trips, like taking my daughter to Full Moon Farms for her horseback riding lesson, provides opportunities that you need to be prepared for. My son and I decided to watch…
