Trail Walking and Cafe' Hopping

 It was a brisk November morning when I swung into Salt and Light Cafe for the first time. I ordered a caramel macchiato and was on my way out to walk a trail. 

There is something about cafe's that draw me in.  Atmosphere, tasty goodies and awesome people can often be found in these creative hubs! I love all the afore mentioned!

The warmth of the macchiato was just the motivation I needed to begin my journey on the Carantouan Greenway.

If that wasn't inspiration enough, the trail markers along the way offered more!







I sipped my warm beverage and meandered the trail saying hi and good morning to passers-by and their furry companions. The colors and textures of the morning were jumping into my senses and the river was high.









Hey Dude!

As I neared the bridge I noticed on the railing a book for all to read. Thanks to author Maureen Wright for this very literary treat!





The view from the bridge was breath taking!





I logged about 6,000 steps and 2.44 miles on my little excursion. As I was getting ready to leave, the train caught my eye with the clouds looking so fluffy!


After a hike I decided a fuel up was needed and went to my home away from home, the Community Cup Coffee & Tea House.

A relaxing day of trail walking and cafe hopping!! Tune in next time for more food and adventures.

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.

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

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 p...
