After having missed this little gem of a park for the entirety of my 4+ decades on this earth, I found Reservoir Park to be completely charming! But, like I said before, this particular day was drizzly, gray, chilly, and nothing was in bloom yet, although we did have the charm of a nice lady […]

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 […]
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 […]
When I said yesterday that Alton is like a mini San Fransisco, I wasn’t kidding. Standing at the top of one hill, you see across in every direction to little enclaves of beautiful old homes, from very grand to small and cozy, nestled into the hills. Honestly, how picturesque is that?! I would pick just […]
The Hubs took a couple of days off work (mental health days, he calls them) and he and I headed up to Alton, IL to do a little sightseeing, have lunch at one of their local shops, and take some pictures. Alton is such a cool town, starting before you even arrive. To get there, […]
During my Day in the City with The Hubs, we came across this building in Downtown St. Louis. I couldn’t get over the length of that fire escape. The black against the white building captured my eye. Being scared to death of heights, the idea of going down those steps captured my imagination… St. Louis […]
Hi, there! Hey, I’m back! I had a fantastic week off with the family and have lots to share. Spring Break was soooooo needed this year! We are all so busy doing our own stuff these days. It used to be easier when the kids were little. Now, they are driving and working and hanging […]
So, I was cleaning up my workflow the other day and I ran across an alternative version of The Ordinance, which I share in a post a couple of weeks ago. Now, the original Ordinance I really like. And so does someone else, because I sold a large, stretched canvas print of it on our […]
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 […]
