Since I had not had a chance to post these pics from my last visit and since today I am passing through Cincinnati on another adventure, I thought I would share these! This cool city offers picturesque views, stately old cathedrals, gates of adventure and beautiful balconies. Everywhere you look is a photograph just waiting to happen and sometimes there seems to never be enough minutes in the day! So I mentioned that ...

Japanese Butterflies

For several months, I had heard about the Japanese Butterfly Exhibit at Krohn's Conservatory in Cincinnati, OH. Finally, on the last weekend of the exhibit, I was able to stop by on my way through. How many times do you get an opportunity to photograph butterflies from Japan? After nearly missing the butterflies (as I was checking out the garden atrium), I was so incredibly glad I made the effort! To say the experience ...

As I was meditating on the Lord this evening, the following scriptures came to my mind: Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. For a day in they courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell i the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them from ...

Another visit with my brother and his family has come to a close. With all the anticipation and preparation that precedes a visit, they just never seem to last long enough whether they are four days or ten days. After a weekend of laughter, chitter chatter, late nights, movie time, fishing, swinging, and, oh, let's not forget the sweetest of all...snuggle time, the house does seem pretty quiet. But it is also a part ...

oh just about anything! After our early morning of yard selling/fishing was rained out, we really thought about giving up on our plans. At least we adults did...the boys, on the other hand, were ready to fish...Rain or Shine!Why not? What's a little rain? So we headed down to Renfro Creek. Since dad and Kevin had already spent most of the early morning and afternoon scouting the area for the "best" fishing spot...we ...

A Few Good Fireworks!

Fireworks have always been one of the most amazing spectacular experiences of July but also one of the most elusive for me as a photographer! Sometimes it just seems impossible to capture the beauty and excitement of the moment!But for the first time....I think this year...I just may have some keepers! With our front row seat, I was afraid we would be too close but I think it was just the right spot for an experiment. ...

They are on their way? Just who you might be asking is on their way to where? My brother and his family are on their way to Kentucky to visit for a few days! It's hard to believe that we havent' gotten to see them since early last December and my, how the boys have grown. Now that the time is nearing for their arrival, this aunt is getting quite excited!In fact, I am not sure who will be more excited...three little guys ...

When I was shooting pictures for my Christmas Cards last fall, my friend, Sheryl, offered her ferrets as models. Ferrets? To be quite honest I was very nervous...don't they bite? Aren't they scary? I mean these are like long hairy rat creatures - right?I must say that photographing Angel and Gilligan was one of the most fun shoots I had last fall! These two were hilarious, leaping, jumping, hissing, so skinny the lil ...

Since i am sittin stuck in traffic waiting to depart the grounds and yet trying to keep my July Resolution (since it is only 4 days old) I am bloggin on the road! I will post firework pics soon..just not sure how to do that from my new phone! Technology is a grand thing! I am so thankful for the freedom that we have today. In all the celebrating, I would be remiss to not count my blessings! Even as I write, Klove is asking for prayer for our troops...adopt one today! They need our support as they fight and sacrifice to keep America..the home of the free and the brave! May you and yours be sa ...

Although I have been privileged to be in the right spot at the right time for some incredible wildlife photography, raccoons are still one (of many) elusive animals still on my list!I remember last fall when Jeanette and I went to shoot the moonbow at Cumberland Falls. There we were coming down the sidewalk and out of the corner of my eye, I saw something move by the trashcan. My first thought..a skunk or huge rat! ...

The skaters from youth center look forward to National Skateboarding Day in June each year. However, this year the day-long event held at Woodland Park was complete with pro demos, give-aways, and competition was stormed out. Much to the exceeding joy of the skaters, it was rescheduled for last evening. Believe me, an evening skate competition is much better than a hot summer day one!Although none of our local skaters ...
