Over the weekend, on Saturday, The Hubs and I had a little BBQ at a local park. The same day, The Great Forest Park Balloon Race was run and we got to watch the beautiful balloons float overhead. This was not shot at the point of take off, but quite a ways away. It was really […]

I just managed to snag a couple of shots of a huge rainbow over my house the other night! It was literally disappearing before my eyes, but it was huge and clear and, if you looked close, there was a second one beside it. I wish I had gotten a picture of myself taking this. Because […]
Hello!! I’m back after taking July off and, man, I needed it! After a busy spring of RenFaire and trips and rescue transports, I decided to take off the month of July, to try to get at least one month of real summer vacation in! So, no fancy pictures today, just snaps of some of […]
So, we’ve spent the past two weekends, at the St. Louis Renaissance Faire. We are there this weekend, too, and we will be there for the last two of faire season! Why? Because it’s just what we do. The Girl Child has worked for one of the food vendors for six years now (The Dragon’s Breath Grill […]
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms – married moms, single moms, adoptive moms, birth moms, grandmoms, grieving moms, moms-in-law, stepmoms, foster moms, gay moms, struggling-to-be-moms, moms who started out as as an aunt/sister/cousin/friend but took on the job, dads who are pulling double duty, and Fur-kid moms. ‘Mom’ isn’t a legal designation. ‘Mom’ isn’t […]

So, my darling daughter dreams of being a working actress. She’s actually very good. I know, every parent says that about their child. LOL But, her directors and her vocal teacher have high regard for her talent and she’s racking up quite an amateur resume already. And so, she needed some headshots and I needed […]
This place has occupied the periphery of my family lore for my entire life. It’s the South Broadway Athletic Club in South St. Louis and it’s been in South St. Louis for over 100 years, catering to boxing and wrestling enthusiasts for generations. It was also one of the places this guy trained. Who is […]
I don’t know, but I’m taking this as another sign that spring is almost upon us. I looked up to the sky and saw a little bit of rainbow peeking through the fluffy clouds. Like a promise… The clouds were so white and dramatic and the mere hint of the rainbow there in the center […]
Oh, happy day! Yesterday, it was finally warm enough to get back out on the trail for a walk with The Hubs! I could feel the long, cold winter losing its grip at long last! But, from a photography standpoint, it’s a rough time of year…LOL The scenery is just blah. The trees are still […]
