On any given day, you just never know what information might cross your pathway. The same is true with photography. I am so thankful and tickled by those who see the coolest things and then call me up or find me to make sure I go and take some pictures.
I had such an experience just this morning! One of the gentlemen I work with loves Kentucky history and also has his eye for the unusual and noteworthy. So when he says you need to take a picture, I take notice! Some of my very best tips such as peak foliage at the lake, the best country church, and so much more have come from him.
My office is located near the "cut" - a road between two mountains of rocks that is always cooler than the rest of the area and is a top notch spot for cascading icicles! To say that they are hanging in all their glory maybe an understatement but it was well worth the short trip! So I thought I would share them with you! Enjoy!

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 off to the woods and much to my surprise, there was the moon! How cool is that? The sun breaking through the clouds on the west and the moon rising through the trees on the east. What an amazing moment and what an even more Amazing Creator! I am so glad I happened to be at the right spot at that very moment!
Joy to u!!!

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 Figure!)
The amount of water flowing across the field, down the creek, creating whirling currents that instilled momentary fear. I sure did not want to get to the edge today! I would hate to be swept away! The power of the mighy water, surging, continuously, ever coming, wave upon wave.
My dad had to do his little bit of fishing while we are standing out there in the downpour but, hey, he came along with me on this adventure. So I let him do a little fishing, catch the scary "Pink Critter of the Cave", and climb down banks for the perfect photo op! He just had to show off His Skeeter Hat! Remember, pouring down rain...
After a few more pictures, we started home but was momentarily distracted by the triple waterfall flowing down the neighbor's yard and drive. So we decided to drive a little farther down the road, just to see what we could see and there was plenty. Old bridges and barns, flooding everywhere, trees covered, turkeys in the field. Beauty and destruction, all within the power of water!
By the time, we did arrive home, guess what? Yes, there was not a dry thread on us but there were smiles on our faces!

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, I couldn't choose a favorite picture if I had too. Well, maybe one, the Tybee Lighthouse print just totally blew me away. If I did not know it was a photograph, I would have thought it was a painting.
Although I don't know all of the featured photographers, I do know several including some of the ladies who have contribued a ton of time and effort into making this a successful exhibit: Dewanna Marcum, Brenda Fogle and Ida Marcum...you ladies have done yourself proud!
After visiting for a little bit, Jeanette and I took our leave with a couple detours of our own. First, the Georgetown Arts and Cultural Center is housed in a beautiful older brick building with stained glass windows. We just couldnt resist having our own little photoshoot outside. Then we went across the road to check out the log cabin by the water. Having never driven through downtown Georgetown and not knowing much about the area, I was very impressed. From the clock tower on the courthouse, the college campus, to the Royal Springs flowing through the park, Georgetown seems to offer a bountiful supply of scenic opportunities. So many I may have to return on a sunny day.
So, if you happen to be in the area, be sure to visit the Scott County Arts and Cultural at 117 North Water Street. I am sure you will enjoy this exhibit as well as other upcoming exhibits. Or if you are a photographer looking for an opportunity to learn with others, I am sure the Scott County Shooters would welcome you.
Until next time...

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 on its destination, and seemingly an unending flow.
Since I was by myself, I was a little more cautious and kind of wished I wasn't alone when several cars slowed down. I couldn't help but wonder if they were looking at this crazy photographer in high heels (yes, I was not prepared for adventure this evening but gotta capture the moments) scrambling down the bank to the waters' edge...OR was there something else going on around the bend. I never did find out but I did take these pictures in a bit of a hurry.
This picturesque spot is one whose beauty draws folks in all seasons. The green moss is ever present, the stately trees provide shelter and security. And there is just something about a creek, that seems to bring out the kid out in all of us.
Hope you enjoy them as much I enjoyed taking them!
