I believe that was the forecast a few days ago. Which resulted in these snapshots from the environs around my home, beginning with one from the waterfall along my regular bicycling route. (No, I wasn’t on the bike.) Then moving up onto the Appalachian Trail after an ice storm last week. The final photo in… Continue reading Wintry mix

EZ-Find ad campaign: Everyone needs this
Okay, maybe not everyone – but a whole lotta people do. Funny how this project happened; I was talking with a friend who said she needed a beeper to find her favorite coffee mug lost somewhere in her house. I said that would be a pretty good invention and maybe we should get right on… Continue reading EZ-Find ad campaign: Everyone needs this

So now my new challenge is to find a way to get permission –… Continue reading Fallingwater in the rain
Stained glass, my secret other
“My secret other” is a bit misleading since I was deeply immersed in stained glass through most of my 20s. In those days it was more of a secret that I also loved photography and writing. But I hadn’t yet found my voice writing and kept beating around the edges of photography, rarely having access… Continue reading Stained glass, my secret other
