Blue skies. Snow covered trees. Empty benches. Sunrises. Sunsets. These are a few of my favorite things. I was going to complain about a few things today, but then, I was reminded that most of the things that I want to complain about…a lot of people would loved to have.. But before you judge me…

Silhouette
We each have stories to tell. Each one different from the others, each one revealing lessons and each one magnifying our strengths. I read somewhere that we shouldn’t be ashamed to tell our stories no matter how little or simple we think it is. For this simple stories of ours could be just what someone…
It’s in the Angle
In photography, we always aim to photograph the extraordinary. In fact, we would go places just to capture something special. Something of importance. Something rarely seen and eye catching. Several weeks ago, we went to Raleigh to pick up our daughter who’s in Governor’s School. While waiting, these flowers in a big flower pot caught…
Coastal Carolina
If there is one thing that I am thankful, it’s my ability to see something and then capture it on camera. To me, photography is not just having a camera in hand and having the capability to point and shoot. There is more to photography than meets the eye. It is seeing something that is…
Oh Deer
It’s always been a dream of mine to capture deer up close while in the wild or in their natural habitat. I am so thrilled I finally had that chance!
Hummingbird
Several weeks ago, I waited outside in the cold to capture this tiny and yet beautiful creature. For almost an hour, I played catch with him. For some reason, he seems to know when I am distracted with something else and not looking. What else is there for me to do, but….to play along. Allow…

Riding Through Life

Women Empowering Women
“Us women, need to see our worth without the approval of anyone. Our worth is not measurable by the clothes we wear, the shape of our body, how beautiful we are or what others think of us. Know your worth and the rest of the world will.” If I asked you right now, how much…
May Flowers
Can you believe it’s May already?!? I was able to explore a new place yesterday and I am so happy for the chance to do that. Very much needed. Being able to photograph nature always has that “feel good” effect on me. Here are just some of the photos I took yesterday. Hope you enjoy!…
