The Hubs took Monday off work and he and I went on our first long ride together since he road his century a couple weeks ago. If you recall from my own post about the BikeMS Photoshoot, he bought me a camera bag for my bike and I was anxious try give it a go. It was […]

I took this simple shot while I was overcoming my insane phobia of heights, standing on the top of the bluffs at Cliff Cave county park. The fact that this shot is in focus at all is a miracle, since I was terrified the entire time. I can’t stand heights and it’s worse when […]
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 have a huge giant tree in my backyard (which I like to call Liability, because if it ever falls down, it’s going to take out about two or three houses, mine included). It is home to a large, extended family of squirrels that enjoy performing acrobatic feats, invading bird feeders, and tormenting my pack […]
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 […]
Taking a break from the urban photography, I’m walking along the trail and waiting for the spring colors that I know are just around the corner…and waiting for all the birds to come back to their little houses… Bah, I’m so tired of the browns, gray, and blacks of winter. C’mon, Spring! Hurry up! I […]
I love watching the ducks. They are so graceful and playful. And so immune to the coldest days when they go out for their swims… Isn’t he pretty? That water was ice cold, but he had no cares, as he wandered over to see if we had anything to feed him. Meanwhile, I was trying […]
Earlier this fall, The Hubs and I visited the World Bird Sanctuary here in St. Louis and saw some of the most gorgeous and, in some cases, endangered birds anywhere. The residents of the Sanctuary are there because they’ve been injured or for some reason cannot survive in the wild on their own. We got […]
This picture almost got tossed. I’m sure there are some out there who think it still should be. It’s imperfect. The focus is sketchy. But, there is something about it I ended up really liking, after messing with it for several hours to see if it was even salvageable. This is one of those times […]
