Chris and I set out again this past weekend to photograph more lighthouses, only these were slightly closer to home. We first headed up to Cape Charles on the Eastern Shore. It’s not that far, just across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.

It’s a 24 mile long monstrosity; a bridge, then a [...]

As I was digging through my old photos this week, I came across this one of my brother several years ago in Pensacola, FL. It ALWAYS makes me laugh. He’s such a trip! Always goofing around. I don’t know WHO the unsuspecting girl is on the beach who now has her [...]

Yesterday, my oldest wanted to go out to some new/old parks that he’s discovered in our area to take photos.  He’s got a fantastic eye for photography.  So we head out only to find that we couldn’t even get CLOSE to these parks.  Despite the cloudy, cool weather, Easter egg hunts were everywhere and there [...]

This past weekend was AGAIN rainy and dreary.  See – I switched it up.  I didn’t say dreary and rainy.  I’m clever like that.  However, the temps weren’t horrible.  It was cool but not too cool for me to open up the doors and windows.  (I do that every chance I get!)
This little fellow had [...]
