    Here are some images to remind everyone that summer is not that far away.   (Please see more text and gallery below)

  • Two Years Ago in ISBAA : Brightening Your Monday Morning

    Happy Monday! I shot these colorful flower photos a few years ago during a trip to a garden in Pennsylvania. For me, photographing flowers is akin to watching fireworks. The colors seem to jump out at your and radiate from the center of the plant. (please see below for two additional images)

  • Sunset at Glacier National Park, Montana

    Glacier National Park in Montana is the most beautiful place I have ever photographed. This photo was taken early one summer evening before sunset. I have posted a black and white version below. Which one do you like most?

  • A Hawaiian Cardinal

    Cardinals are very common in Virginia. The Cardinal is even the state bird.

  • Looking Back on the Summer of 2014

    They say the older you get the faster time flies. For me this summer did not fly by, it rocketed. Never the less, thanks to my camera, I have some documentation of where I went and what I saw. (Please see more text and gallery below)

  • Walking Dogs Along Swallow Falls

    Earlier this month I took a hike along the river at Swallow Falls State Park in Western Maryland. (Please see more text and second photo below)

  • Seattle Windows

    This photo was taken from a hotel window in Seattle of a building across the street from where  I was staying. 

  • Looking Back on the Holidays… One Last Time

    New Year’s week is an exciting time, full of new beginnings and exciting possibilities. The weekend after New Year’s day is customarily the time when the festive lights and decorations of the holiday season are taken down. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had holiday lights all year?

  • The Iceman Cometh…

    After having fun watching several football games being played in the snow Sunday, including the Eagles-Lions, Baltimore-Vikings (great game) and the Redskins-Chiefs game (Ok, not so fun) several states woke up Monday morning to quite the ice show. (see below for more text and an additional photo)
