Recently, my partner, Jay, and I decided to head down to a place we’ve each passed a million times in our lives, but never stopped to explore – The Compton Hill Water Tower and Park. These beautiful structures are truly things of the past. There are only seven left in the whole of the United […]

Another week has passed and, with it, we finished up in Alton, entered another art show, and played with some black & whites. Did you miss anything? Let’s take a look… Monday, we had a lovely view of the Town on the River: Tuesday, we got a hilltop of view of a neighborhoodNestled in the […]
I get on these binges sometimes…Right now, I’m messing around a lot with black & white again. And, more often than you’d think, a completely uninspired shot in color becomes not so bad in black and white. I love perspective shots, and this is cool old staircase, but the day I took this picture, it […]
This past March, I was accepted into MySLArt’s “33March” Juried art show at The Old Orchard Gallery. After the opening reception, The Hubs and I went to get a late night cup of coffee and I snapped this “portrait” of him at the diner. With that skull ring he likes to wear, I jokingly called […]
One Saturday, The Hubs was off on a hiking trip with a friend of his, so my partner, Jay, and I decided to take the morning and head out to some local spots with the cameras. It was a drizzly morning, but what the heck. At least, I wasn’t riding a bike! Part of the […]

One more shot of Alton, IL before we leave it behind. The Hubs and I had a lot of fun driving those hills and exploring the historic little town! I just loved the colors of this town, the variety of old homes, the hills, the views…so pretty and so much potential! (I would love for […]
Another of a couple more pictures of our day trip to Alton. One thing about this town is the power lines everywhere. LOL Figured if I can’t beat ‘em, might as well use them to sort of frame the shot! (I would love for you to come back to visit, so please SUBSCRIBE using one […]

Monday, we went to the Wrong Side of the Tracks: We found a musical Beautiful Entryway on Tuesday: Jay stopped by with Japanese-themed Wordless Wednesday: On Thursday, we crossed The Clark Bridge: Friday found us enjoying a […]
Literally taken from the same spot high on one of the hilly Alton streets, I turned about 45 degrees from the view of the adorable neighborhood I shared yesterday and saw this gorgeous stately mansion sitting off by itself. How’s that for a mansion?! I loved the black porch and matching urns on the front […]
