Picture Perfect Poses

Going through some of my archives and smiled when I saw this shot. Was so lucky that all three of these gorgeous greyhounds posed as beautifully as their loving human. :)

Not purrfect, but cute enough

When you don't have your "good" camera handy, thank goodness for cell phones! Trapped under a living fur blanket, my cell phone captured this cuteness at a great angle. :)

Holiday Images

Sometimes the best holiday images are those that involve the excitement of a child. :) Just putting on a Santa hat inspired this smile for hours...

The Mountains: Peace of Mind

Love this shot with the clouds rolling through, and just enough light behind the tree to make it interesting. Peaceful place to drink coffee in the morning and soak in fresh mountain air.

Morning light in the Mountains

Found this serene image early one morning on a very short vacation this summer to the mountains in Tennessee. Shot it with my cell phone... :)

Sneak Peep at Baby Finches

It's a great time of the year to explore photo opportunities in nature - I found this nest of house finches just steps away from our front door.

Using filter effects to create art

Taking a photograph and using the right filter effect can produce neat results. Sometimes I try at least a dozen different filters to find the one I think "fits" the photo and the look I'm after. In this one, I added text in several spots to really personalize it.
