Autumn in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains
Southern Colorado has such beauty and complexity of scenery – from the low mesas up to the high passes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Spanish Peaks… So much to capture the imagination that it seems crazy to add gorgeous autumn color to the mix! Being recently widowed means spending a great deal of…

Mission Santa Barbara
While wandering through the lovely city of Santa Barbara, in southern California, it would be very difficult to overlook the alluring architecture of Mission Santa Barbara. The historic building is beautifully preserved and reflects the SoCal light wonderfully throughout the day. The mission’s graveyard holds the remains of over 4,000 Chumash Indians, and the interior architecture is captivating……

Step Into the Garden
These hot summer days are helping to precipitate some lovely blooming up at the Montreal Botanical Gardens. Armed with our hats, water and cameras (of course) we strolled the garden and witnessed some of the most amazing flowers bursting forth in full glory… Including the favorite of many – lotus blossoms. The eventual result after…

Bouquet River Dip
These hot Adirondack days my favorite road trip is south to the mountains and a swim in the Bouquet River along Route 73… We have a new favorite spot where, even on the hottest weekend day, we’ve not had to share the river with another soul! These photos were taken for fun with a GoPro…

John’s Fords & Other Toys
I love cars. Old cars to be more exact… So when I found out that a new friend had a collection of old cars I did all I could to be allowed to come visit and get a look at the goods. John has over thirty in his collection, mostly Fords. If there is one…

Sailing Hard Waters
I moved to the North Country about 20 years ago and rediscovered true winter weather. Over the years I have figured out how you dress when it’s 10 degrees out, and what else to put on when it is 20 below zero and windy. I’ve found that keeping active and hiking, running, cross country skiing,…

Baby, It’s Cold Outside!
Winter has been physically and mentally challenging this year… So much ice it’s difficult to walk and has turned even young people into slow-moving, cautious elders. Falling on ice can be painful and even deadly, and our home was surrounded. One might think I’ve had enough of it – but our treat to each other…

In the Monochrome of Winter
A little color to awaken the eyes! In sorting through my photo archives I came across some pics I took for fun with a smart phone at the Jardin Botanique. So sweet to see flowers and color this time of year… They brighten ones mood and awaken the senses. Hope you enjoy!

Fledgling Bird Photographer?
We wandered to Ausable Point on Lake Champlain today and found more wildlife than I expected on this chilly and dark December day! We were very surprised to find great blue herons in the area, I thought they would have migrated south by this time… But there was still open water – apparently allowing them…
