Sprinkles and Fairies | Nature Photographer Bowling Green KY
Spring has sprung here in Bowling Green and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I’ve been waiting for my plum tree to flower and it finally obliged this week. I love the delicate flowers it produces. The touch of pink near the center just really draws me in. These tiny flowers …
Close | Nature Photographer Bowling Green KY

Ten Minutes From Home | Bowling Green KY Photographer
My Project 52 assignment for the week was Ten Minutes from Home. Since I live in Bowling Green, sometimes ten minutes from home can be a mile away. This week, however, was a slow traffic week and ten minutes from home took me to Three Springs Park on a beautiful …
Frost | Nature Photographer Bowling Green KY
It Was Worth It | Nature Photographer Bowling Green KY
A few weeks ago, the theme for the Project 52 group I belong to was sunrise. Well, my house is surrounded by trees and I just have no clear view of sunrise until late fall and winter. I skipped that week thinking I would come back to it once the …

Peony with a Touch of Vintage | Bowling Green KY Photographer
When my peony starts growing every spring, I normally pull it up and give it to a friend. This year, when I was digging it up, I saw that there was a bud on one of the stalks so I left that side alone. Within a week, I had this …
Tiny Snail | Southern Kentucky Photography
I found what I thought was a snail shell at the office where Ric works. I put it on a shelf to bring it home and, to my surprise, came back later to find it had been on the move. I found it on the underside of another shelf. I …

Yellow Bokeh | Nature Photography | Bowling Green KY
Raindrops | Bowling Green KY Photographer
I’m once again trying to make the best of this never-ending rain we seem to be having in Bowling Green. Just like I was quickly addicted to dandelion photography, I’m now finding myself addicted to raindrop photography. I think it all comes down to the challenge of the small stuff …
Droplets | Macro Photography | Bowling Green KY
I took a few moments off and on today to look around for my Zen garden and decided to find it in the droplets left behind by the rains we had all morning.
Dandelions Up Close | Bowling Green KY Photography

Tulips | Spring Photography | Bowling Green KY
Tulips seem to yell SPRING IS HERE! They are so bright and you can find most any color you might be looking for when searching. My recent walk around downtown Bowling Green allowed me many opportunities to photograph bright, beautiful tulips. I do enjoy the watercolor effect I captured with …
Pink Zen | Nature Photographer | Bowling Green KY
Zen is wherever you find it. Today, I found mine in the crooked branches of a Pink Flowering Dogwood.
Bokeh | Southern KY Nature Photographer
Week 15 of my Project 52 is Bokeh. I love, love, love bokeh! Honestly, what photographer wouldn’t? I normally can’t stand dandelions because they are, after all, weeds. When I realized this week was bokeh, I instantly thought I wanted to get an image of a dandelion. Not at all …
Dogwood | Bowling Green KY Nature Photographer
I recently had an issue with someone downloading my images from facebook and decided it was time to get a new watermark stating my images were copyrighted, along with the tag “do not print, copy, or save”. Thank you to Christina Kafkakis for designing this for me. Here is my …
Maple Buds | Nature Photography | Bowling Green KY

Lemon and Honey | Bowling Green KY Photographer
For today’s Macro Monday I’m celebrating the arrival of spring with more floral photography. I hope you don’t get tired of it because I know I certainly don’t. I don’t even know what this tiny flower is called, so I’m naming it Lemon and Honey for this post. If you …
Spring | South Central KY Photography
Week 12 of my Project 52 is Spring. Ric and I took a walk downtown and the blossoms from the weeping cherry trees caught my eye. The buttercups were in full bloom as well and I just might share them later. For now, I hope you enjoy the cherry blossoms …
Fall Singles | Bowling Green Nature Photographer
I certainly enjoy all the colors of fall. The oranges, reds, and yellows can be quite breathtaking. While these colors are brilliant seen in groups, I chose to share them in a singular “setting” simply because I so enjoy my macro lens. Waiting to fall… Simply Red… Alone…
Lost River Trail Finds | Nature Photographer | South Central KY
Ric and I recently spent part of an afternoon at Lost River Cave walking the trails. If you haven’t had the opportunity to explore this treasure here in Bowling Green, I strongly suggest you change that. There were many photographs to be taken all along the trail and I am …

A Morning Find | Butterfly | Kentucky Photographer
I have always had an obsession with butterflies and dragonflies. In fact, I have several tattoos which include these two insects. It seems I am always on the hunt for a beautiful butterfly to capture in a photograph. It’s a difficult task because they are so skittish. This past Sunday …
Butterflies and Moths | Nature | Kentucky Photographer
It seems I am always trying to chase down a butterfly or a moth to try and get a photo. Most of the time I’m not quite fast enough to get the shot before they fly away. I happened to see this fellow trapped in a spider web one morning …
Summer Randomness
Enjoy!
Summer Sky
Ric and I were getting ready to head out for our Sunday morning trip to Starbucks and I decided to take the dogs out one last time before we left. I’m so glad I did. I looked up in time to see these clouds with the sun’s rays peeking out. …
