creepy crawlies, super lens, making envelopes…
Does the end of summer bring an end to the abundance of bugs? Not here in southwest Florida…but maybe a little fewer. During the summer, it seems that I’ve kept a photo log of all things creepy crawly that crossed my path. You see, I’ve been mesmerized with being able [...]
eating granola in new england…
I woke to the aroma of homemade granola roasting in the oven, our last morning there. And that was just one of many, many things Jeff and I loved about our visit to a region of the country we’ve never been to before. We spent our summer vacation visiting our daughter. She works at Theatre [...]
sipping kentucky wine….
I just got back from a road trip with Mama and my two sisters. We visited our brother and his family and had a very sweet and memorable time. While we were there, in the rolling hills and bluegrass land of Kentucky, we were fortunate enough to be able to visit a vineyard and winery [...]
shhhhh…nature is happening here
This is my ode to the natural world sign I made in honor of all the creatures that also inhabit our small slice of sw florida. They are full time residents, just like ourselves. While they don’t always show themselves, I find that when I’m taking photos of items to put in our shop, quietly [...]
a photo journal…slow florida afternoon
Sunday, Jeff and I took a drive to Matlacha—an old florida fishing village that lies directly between our home and the gulf of mexico. Matlacha (pronounced "MAT-la-shay") comes from a caloosa indian word meaning ‘water to the chin’. It is home to a string of brightly-colored art galleries—like the wild child art gallery and the [...]

Male cardinals are the brightly colored, radiantly red ones, while the females are soft muted brown with the cutest orange beaks. I [...]
a photo log butterfly crossing
Today, I shipped off one of our smallest glass bottles. It required me to make the tiniest box for it. When I got back from the post office, I stepped out back to let jack the dog out for a run. But she rested on the hot deck instead. Taking her cue, I did the [...]
photos of a small part of ‘Big Cypress’
This is the closest I’ve come to capturing the essence of the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. I was afraid that I would not be able to impart the magic that this place radiates. The spell that’s cast and settles over me while walking through this swamp always stops me. To say that ‘I love being here’ [...]
May is for the blooming hoya
It was this time of year when Jeff, the kids and I moved into our home. The yard was a jungle and the children likened it to one their favorite books, ‘Jumanji’. It was clear that the original owners had a penchant for tropical houseplants and planted as many as they could in the yard, [...]
