18 degrees

I awoke this morning and checked the thermometer.... 18 degrees! I debated on whether to take my sweet, little princess for a walk. She loves to go for walks and I quite enjoy the time outside with her. So we bundled up and went for a walk. On the return journey I noticed in the ditch some very cool ice formations. Naturally, I went back to grab my camera and take some photos. Eighteen degrees is not very warm on the exposed fingers, but when I'm in photo mode I sometimes don't notice.
I had my camera eye on and climbed down in the ditch trying not to drop my camera in the cold, cold water. After realizing my foot seemed a little cold, I looked down and noticed I was standing in the water. This is when I figured I would head back and see what I ended up with. I also noticed a cardinal! Sometimes photography is for the birds!!!


I loved the swirling bubbles!

This image I inverted the colors.

These ice particles are the same as the ones above.

I snapped a photo of my shadow for fun!

    I know it's surprising, but there are times when I don't.

A softball State of mind

Image
A weekend ago a couple friends and I hopped in their truck and decided to drive to Happy Valley. Our destination, a Penn State softball game. I mean, how could you not be happy going to watch a Big 10 softball match up on a beautiful sunny day. We arrived on the campus, and I first noticed the aftermath of the Blue and White game. All of the grassy areas showed the effect of the many who were there the day before watching Penn State Football. After driving around a bit we finally found a spot to park and we were ready to enjoy the sun and a game. The Lady Lions were gearing up to sweep the series against  Rutgers. PSU had taken the first two games of the series, but a couple of miscues would see the end result with Rutgers on top for the last game of the bout.  Penn State Softball Rutgers Softball Big 10 Softball NCAA Softball National Pro Fastpitch Softball Follow me on Facebook Visit my photography online

The Wait is over

 I am excited to finally announce  Thinking of You  is now available on Amazon for purchase!!! Four prints from this book are still on display at  The Keystone Theater  until May 5th and are available for purchase. When you receive a postcard or card from a loved one, your soul resonates with happiness. I think of them as glimmers of love… and I have always been a fan of sending them to my friends. Even though wifi has  increased the speed of communication, and social media makes   connecting or reconnecting with friends easier than ever, the postal  service remains my favorite courier of happiness.   This photo was taken at sunrise in Cincinnati.

Postcard Project

 I enjoy sending mail. A few years ago, when the world shut down, I began sending postcards as a way to let people know that I was thinking of them. To send them a little bit of positivity in a crazy situation. I had bins of photos (literally thousands) and I began making them into postcards and pairing those with inspirational quotes. I wanted these to be a beacon of light. When my supplies ran out (it took 3 years for that to happen) I began to order more supplies to keep the mail sprinklings going, my mailing list grew.  I have decided to publish a book based on my postcards. Over the last month I have been working on this and it is nearing completion. Cover reveal will be coming soon!!! The idea has been in my thoughts for a few years, but I have now decided to make it happen. I have learned a new program (InDesign by Adobe) that has been fun to work with on a design level. I am excited to be able to share, in a book form, these images which I have paired with some of my poetry (bo
