Are clocks coming to Society6? {Ohio fine art photographer} [Michigan nature photographer]

Friday, September 27, 2013

Sshhh! I saw this photograph on a photographer friend's FB page. And she believes that clocks will be the next product line to be introduced by Society6 - that awesome company with great iphone cases, ipad cases, samsung galaxy cases, throw pillows, wall decor, hoodies and tote bags at nice prices. So clocks would be a fabulous addition in time for holiday gift giving! And I was delighted to see my PINK pink dogwood flower photograph on the clock front and center! Stop by my shop to see my art and products!


Farewell to Summer {Ohio Nature Photographer} [Michigan Beach Photographer]

Monday, September 2, 2013

This year has just sped by. It seems the tulips were just blooming and here we are saying goodbye to summer. Schools are starting a new year, pools are closing, college students are looking for awesome dorm room decor and it is the start of apple season harvest. Autumn and colorful leaves are just around the corner. So this is a good time to look back on summer beach days and wandering in nature.










I have lovely summer memories.... And now I'm looking forward to my favorite season of autumn and mums, college football games, fall leaves, pumpkins, cool evening walks and fall fashions!

Summer Fair Days! { Ohio Photographer } [ Michigan Nature Photographer ]

Monday, July 29, 2013

It doesn't matter how many times I've gone, I still love it when it's fair time! There is always something new, & I always love the things that never change! Fair food, fun rides, people watching, the 4H exhibits and art exhibits and of course the animals... If you are in Ohio, you know of the butter cow,  always a tradition! And of course I love the opportunity to photograph the Ohio State Fair!




Shine Bright { Michigan Nature Photographer } [Ohio Photographer ]

Thursday, July 25, 2013

Take a moment and think about all the people you go by in any given day.... at the store, at work, at the park, driving here and there. Are there connections? Do you look, connect? I think about those things, walking through my life. And while I try to look, not so many engage and look back. But I have found that those who do look back - who do connect - who take the time to maybe chat - I really feel like we were meant to meet. In the past couple weeks, I have had the chance to talk with a young woman who is recently out of college and not currently working in her field. We each took a moment to connect and she is such a bright shining star. I have no doubt she will soon be in her field of training and passion. We cover so many topics and it feels like we have known each other from some place  before. And thinking about these people we pass each day.... it reminded me of when I look up at the night sky in the city. I know there are so many starts out there, shining unseen to my eyes - the light of the city diminishing their glow. But those that I do see - those shining lights - they are like the wonderful connections I make in my day to day travels. I will look for more today....





Summer Sunflowers, Water Lilies and Sky {Central Ohio Photographer } { Michigan Nature Photographer }

Wednesday, July 17, 2013

I have always had a love affair with sunflowers. They are the happiest of flowers, always holding their heads up and facing the light of the sun. I always plant them the first year in the garden I happen to be in at the time, but then delight in seeing where they decide to self sow in following years - always coming up in the most unexpected of places, but always making the garden wild and beautiful. And water lilies... they create a calm serenity on the hot summer days in Ohio. And I love finding them floating in the inland lakes of northwestern Michigan in the Sleeping Bear Dunes area! These beauties were photographed at the beautiful Kingwood Center in Mansfield, Ohio the other week.  Enjoy these lovelies that are in my Society 6 shop!
