Although I am not a huge fan of sleet and snow, winter has its own particular beauty. As I was watching the birds in my front yard, I realized that although it was still a bit chilly from the recent winter storm, I could actually see the sun setting through the trees. The awe of the moment: beautiful blue sky, fluffy clouds and the glow of sunlight filling the air.About that moment is when "my" little woodpecker flew ...

While I was on the porch this afternoon taking pictures of rain-soaked birds, I happened to notice the field across from our house was flooded. Water was creating mini creeks everywhere. I could only imagine the water flowing from the cave. So when Dad said, Hey, do you want to me ride out with you to the cave...I immediately started gathering camera equipment (while he gathered his fishing pole and skeeter hat! Go ...

Last evening, Jeanette and I went to Georgetown to support some photography friends. The Scott County Shooters' (and, no, this group has nothing to do with guns or hunting!) is a group of talented and yet diverse photographers. Jeanette and I both ooohed and ahhhed over so many of the prints. From churches, exotic birds, horses (of course, Georgetown is home to many horse farms), beaches,landscapes, and even jails, ...

After the melting of recent snow and showers upon showers of rain that we have received this week, water is definitely flowing from the cave at Sand Springs. Flowing water whether it is waterfalls, creeks, lakes, or ocean waves, is one of my favorite scenes to photograph so, of course, I couldn't resist. There is just something so powerful about the water rushing by, unmindful of obstructions hindering its path, focused ...

Last night when I arrived home from work, the snow was pouring down and the birds were getting the last few bites of the evening. As I pulled up a rocker on the porch to try to get the best angle, I couldn't help but marvel at the quiet beauty. With the birds chirping and wind gently blowing chimes, I totally had to capture the moment. May you enjoy it as well!Joy 2 u! ...

Another cold, snowy morning and the weather forecast for this this week is not improving. Is this what January holds for Kentucky? If so, this girl is not looking forward to winter. I must say that if I wasn't having to drive in it, I would marvel at the beauty. As I was going to work this morning, I knew the rippling stream coming from the Sand Springs Cave would be a cool sight but it was breathtaking. The snow layered ...

So this morning we woke up to an unexpected snow, after bundling up, I went out to take some pictures. Suddenly, I heard some clucking and squawking...my first thought that a squirrel was out in the bitter cold. Then I saw it take flight. A beautiful young woodpecker! This young fellow started an afternoon of preparing bird feeders and making suet. I do have my problems trying to care for my feather friends. Do you ...

On this the first day of a brand new year, 2010, I am dedicating this blog to pictures I have taken and am taking along with their stories. A picture is worth a thousand words. But hopefully, I won't have to use that many but will, instead, allow the pictures to speak for themselves! In the midst of winter with barren trees and brown fields, where does the beauty lie? I find beauty in the midst of the setting sun. I ...
