Hey, there! No, I haven’t disappeared off the face of the earth. LOL I’ve been working and haven’t had a ton of time for my art. Plus, I started off 2016 with seemingly endless circle of The Plague invading my house. But, this weekend, there was an incredible fog over the Mississippi River and I […]

At our last shoot, while we waited for the family to arrive, we had a chance to walk through the grounds and happened upon this lovely little fountain that was catching just enough sunlight to cast a bit of a rainbow. Right there, in my mind’s eye, it looked like a painting. Soon, the fountains […]

(It must be Friday the 13th for sure, since I had this ready to go, but forgot to schedule it to publish! Ugh! LOL) Good morning! I had to try to grab the beautiful colors of Fall when we were at the wedding anniversary shoot last weekend, between shots of the happy family. The whole […]
So, I got to working on this shot I took of a local fountain. I’m playing with my painty-heavy-color techniques again, sort of the style I play with when I’m doing my RenFaire photos. But, of course, when I took the picture initially, I had temporary blindness and didn’t see the big fat trash can […]
From when I was on the bluffs at Cliff Cave County Park, I did manage to get this shot of the Mississippi River from high up on the cliff. I thought this was a beautiful shot to share for a Saturday. Hope you like it! (I would love for you to come back to visit, […]
Heh. Now, don’t panic. There aren’t any pictures of mob snitches floating under water here. But, I couldn’t resist the 1930s film noir reference on this picture that I kind of just took on a whim and ended up really liking! This is one of those exhibits at the St. Louis Zoo where you walk under the […]
I used to go to this park a lot more when I was first married. The Hubs grew up in this neighborhood and this park was his stomping grounds. That kind of carried over after we had kids of our own. But, when we moved to the ‘burbs and my mother-in-law moved to the ‘burbs, […]
The ducks are all coming out for the start of spring and enjoying the fountains that have been switched back on in the city parks. These guys were so enchanted with that fountain. I was wondering if it was the first day for the fountain to be on. I know I was enjoying the bright […]
Right out of the camera, this shot had me singing “Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother’s House we go.” I mean, seriously. It just looks it. That’s why I had to put a little “vintage” touch to the post-process of this picture. So, Grandmother would approve. (I would love for you to […]
There is one permanent resident of Compton Hill Reservoir Park, always present and enjoying the pond and the beautiful architecture. She caused quite a sensation when she first arrived in St. Louis, because she’s, well, naked and remains that way to this day. She’s called “The Naked Truth” and is a memorial to three editors […]
