Today I want to share my most recent photographs with you. These photographs were taken at different times, different locations. They all share the same message; one that has been on my mind lately. We

Sometimes it is coincidences of existence that provide us with the biggest surprises. A couple of years back, just before gathering up my things in North Rhine-Westphalia and heading home to the Eastland

Today I want to talk about something particularly important to me as a photographer: creating. To me, photography is far more than merely pushing a shutter button. It is a genuine statement of the soul,

Once again, I headed out today with ambitious goals, deep into the lush green we see around us. Back pack on my back, camera ready, and visions of what I might discover inside my head. Then came the moment

Today's journey is taking us through a sunflower field. I love sunflowers. I like being in a field of tall sunflowers with big bright yellow heads traveling toward the sun. This gives me so much joy. The

Do you ever feel that way? You find yourself going back to a location that has already supplied you with a variety of magical photographic subjects and it does it again. I just revisited my boyfriend with

What a lovely Sunday it is here with the gentle murmur of summer around me. Wherever you are in the world, I hope this finds you well and that you can experience your own respite in this beautiful season.

Now, I want to tell you about a recent experience I had at our city park. While I was at the pond, I had the chance to see two birds which immediately looked familiar. While I could be mistaken, I think

Nature is flaunting its most beautiful side now that summer has arrived. When I'm out with my camera, there are always times that especially move me. Last week I was fortunate enough to see and capture

I was about halfway home when I caught sight of something special which caught my eye, instantly braking me. There, right in the middle of a garden fence, was it. A little bird, a treat to the eye with
