As part of my weekday blog series, I’ve decided to have a challenge every Wednesday. I’ll post an image and you have to guess what it is. At the end of the month, the winner from each week will have their names placed in a drawing for a $5 Starbucks …
I’m starting a new weekday series on the blog and today is Macro Monday. I thought I’d kick it off in honor of Valentine’s Day with a yummy, fluffy cupcake from Gigi’s. The frosting is so tall and fluffy on these cupcakes! I think the frosting is taller than the …
As a business owner, I enjoy meeting and getting to know other local business owners – especially those who work with other local businesses to produce high-quality products. I am more than happy to purchase from these businesses and have often offered to share their products on my site if …
Week six of my project called for body parts. While this image isn’t necessarily what some would consider a true body part, I wanted to capture it anyway. We’ll say the eye is the body part for the project. How’s that? My kids have always gotten compliments about their long …
Week five of my Project 52 was flare. It wasn’t a great week for flare as we didn’t have very much sunlight thanks to winter really settling in here in Kentucky. The sun finally came out on Friday afternoon and stayed through the weekend for everyone. The temps grew warmer …
I’m in a group with a few friends on Flickr and we’re doing a Project 52. One photo per week with a suggested theme. Last week’s theme was Macro, thus the image of the watch in the previous post. This week is Tired. I wanted to do something other than …
Take time for yourself and take your life in the perfect direction for you.
Here in Bowling Green, The Gallery at 916 is having a public photography hanging from January 7th through February 12th to raise money and awareness for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate). The public is encouraged to stop by and vote for their favorite artists and images. Votes are $1 each …
Some of you might recall a post about Trooper from a year or so ago. For those of you who have become followers since then, I’ll give you a bit of background. Trooper is the horse from the field behind our house. I’m not even certain Trooper is his real …
My last post was about Downtown Bowling Green Lights Up for the holidays. I didn’t really think one of my favorite shots of the evening went well with the post, so I saved it for another. I was so happy to realize I could get an up close shot of …
The annual Downtown Bowling Green Lights Up was this past Thursday evening and I was able to attend for the first time. I’ve certainly been missing out the last few years. There were carriage rides, an acappella gospel group, hot chocolate, and of course, Santa Clause! It was such fun …
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…
Enjoying a bit of fresh fruit this morning…
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 …
Ric and I recently spent an afternoon at Jackson’s Orchard here in Bowling Green, KY. If you haven’t been to the orchard, you really must go. There are plenty of activities for children and lots of great finds for adults as well. Here are a few of my finds from …
Enjoying the first signs of autumn with the bright red berries of the dogwood tree in our backyard.
I thought the sunlight was a pretty offering on the last of the purple flowers on the monkey grass.
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 …
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 …
Ric and I recently had an opportunity to go on a dinner cruise aboard the General Jackson. This dinner cruise takes people on a trip down the Cumberland River in Nashville, Tennessee. I debated with myself as to whether I should take my camera along for the evening since I …
Recently, a photography forum I am on had a macro challenge. Of course, I just had to get in on the fun because I am absolutely crazy about macro! It was a wonderful opportunity to hone my macro skills while I was at it.
Enjoy!
Ric and I took a few days to ourselves and spent them at Elkcreek Vineyards and Hunting Lodge in Owenton, KY. The vineyards were absolutely gorgeous! We were there three days and I honestly am looking forward to another visit in the future. I came home with lots of photos …
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. …
We had been anxious all day about the storm that was on it’s way across our state. We had made a few preparations for it and had checked local radar and weather updates throughout the day. Our daughter and a couple of our close friends occasionally checked in so we …
I really enjoy spring when everything is just starting to bloom and lawns are turning bright green after having been brown all winter. There are so many beautiful flowers blooming that I’m sometimes overwhelmed at what all is out there just begging to be photographed. Here are a few of …

One of my favorite memories from my childhood is the excitement of opening a fresh box of Crayola crayons. Really, is there any other brand? I loved the sharp tips, the scent of a newly opened box, the wonderful array of colors. What a joy it was when I would …

This past Saturday, at the wedding where I was second shooter for Alysia Lawrence, of Alysia Lawrence Photography, I had the great experience of getting several pictures of the coupe that the bride made her grand entrance in. I have no idea what kind of car this is, I just …
I think I’ve mentioned before that I really like watching the changes throughout the year of the dogwood tree that is in my backyard. Here are two shots of the tree. The first one I took about three weeks ago. The second one, I took today. It was a beautiful …
I have worn glasses since I was around thirteen years old. My first pair had pale pink frames and the lenses were nice and round. You know, that great 80s style! I have had many pairs since then and I really do enjoy taking my time and choosing a great …
I was invited by a couple fellow photographers to go out on a shoot this past Sunday…thanks, Alysia and Taylor. While they were having fun taking pictures of Taylor’s sister and husband, I decided I’d just look around and see what was interesting to me. Ric is always looking for …
Front door, too…I’m sure there will be plenty of posts with the ice on everything today, but I couldn’t resist. We so rarely get anything like this, I had to take some shots. I’m hoping we will have snow tomorrow and that I can get off my front and back …
Ric asked me if I wanted to walk around downtown Sunday morning and see if anything jumped out at either of us that would make interesting photos. Here are a few of the things we saw. We also went to WKU’s campus, but there was too much construction going on. …
