The birth of my infatuation or perhaps I should say my obsession with photography began in the mid nineties. Then my main subjects were my children, since my children have left the nest for many years now my passion for photography has never faded but rather grown in a different direction. I have discovered that beauty is never ending, taking on forms that I could have never imagined. I feel blessed that my world has expanded through photography and hope my passion never weakens.

2012 Cincinnati Skyline Calendars

THE CALENDARS ARE HERE THE CALENDARS ARE HERE!!!
Alright all you Cincy people, get your butt out there and buy some calendars. I assumed correctly, I am Miss July. Yay Me!!!

Did Not Happen

So photographing over the weekend just didn't happen. Can't explain it, have no excuses. Just pure laziness. Which is pretty unfortunate considering how nice the weather was. This coming weekend I am heading back up to Carew Tower with my photog group, I am hosting my first meetup, should be loads of fun if the rain holds off. Come on back to check out my photos then.

Still Around

I know I haven't been very active in the photography part of my life but I am still alive and kickin. It is suppose to be a great weekend coming up, well sunny wise anyway, so maybe I'll get off my butt and head on out.

It is hard to believe that it has been a year since my mother's passing. So at the family picnic, which turned out extremely small this year, we decided to do a tribute to Mom. My mother had a habit of thumbing in the group pictures, even at 87 years old so we decided to have some fun and thumb her back this year. We all miss you so much but am so glad that you now with Dad and no longer suffering. Love you with all my heart.

Big Bone Lick State Park



So I decided to head out as planned to Big Bone Lick State Park. Instead of taking the most direct route I decided to take the back roads. Um not exactly one of my better ideas. I ended up making right turns when I should have made lefts and left turns when I should have made right. By the time I actually arrived at the park I was wiped out. Next time i'll take the direct route. I missed a lot of the park so next weekend weather permitting, I plan on another visit. Foliage was not impressive at all but I did manage to see a lot of animals.





I had to crop the photo heavily so it may be a bit blurry. Didn't even notice the goat at first.

Heavily cropped as well. Not sure but are you suppose to see a horse's ribs?

Geez How The Week Goes By

It's another weekend and yet again the weather is fantastic with a hint of chilly. I was going to head out today but decided against it for two reasons, 1. Way to windy. 2. Kinda not in the mood. Tomorrow it is suppose to be in the mid 70's so I will absolutely take advantage of it. I am thinking about taking the back roads to Big Bone Lick State Park, KY. With the trees at almost peak I would hate to miss this opportunity. Stay tuned.

Out and About at Eden Park Cincinnati Ohio

Wow what an amazing day to be out exploring the city. I've been to Eden Park several times but without my camera. As you can see the fall colors are starting to explode. I'll give it another week and head back again to check out the foliage. I love this time of year and with the temperatures in the 80's why would anyone want to stay indoors.









Out and About In Covington, KY







Everyone loves to decorate for Halloween.

Still Alive & Kick'n

It seems hard to believe how fast time is going. I can't believe I haven't been out with the camera in almost two weeks. The leaves are really starting to turn, the weather is just perfect so I am going to wake up in the morning and head to Eden Park for some beautiful photos of the river and Kentucky. Stay tuned.

Congrats to the Detroit Tigers

Yep I'm a Tiger fan, have been for over 50 years. Sometimes I think I was born with a Tiger T-shirt on. I stole this photo but that little voice inside of me said to, so I had to and I always listen to that voice.
