Come Wander Along with Me...

I wander...it is simply what I do.  Since I was a young girl, my parent's tried everything to keep me close to home, going to such  measures as to buy me goats.  Though I loved my goats, my heart still  wandered.  

Growing up in rural New Jersey, I was surrounded by dense woods and long stretches of farm land to fuel my imagination.   I felt at home in the arms of the forest and spent many days laying upon the fragrant mossy soil staring up through the filter of leaves... watching the light dance.  It is these experiences that I work to remember.

In adulthood, I discovered the joy of capturing those precious moments, through my camera's lens.  Though the many years in between my youth and the present, I have enjoyed many wonderful adventures and am currently wandering in another people's land.  For the past 10 years I have had the pleasure of living in Europe and learning to look at life in a very different way.   

Through my images and my wanderings, I hope you will enjoy seeing the world around you... in a new way.

So...I invite you to "Come Wander Along with Me..."

New Year… New Beginnings

Sunday, January 4, 2009 at 1:57pm Posted in Around my Village, Festivals, Living in Europe, Pets, Travel, Wheaten Terrier

With a bang, we begin this new year, 2009.  Under a sky full of festive fire, I begin compiling my thoughts on this new adventure I am embarking upon.

After many years as an Illustrator, I have recently discovered my true passion actually existed in the images I created with my camera on my daily walks and not as photo reference for later works.

My life seemed to fall into place with the addition of a fluffy Wheaten Terrier and a Canon 30D.  Don’t get me wrong, I have always had a wonderfully creative life, afforded to me by my quiet and caring husband, but those two ingredients were what seem to be missing from my life’s bread.

Currently living in a 2000 year old village, at the foothills of what the Germans call the Castle Road and the very edge of the Odenwald Nation forest.  I have been blessed with a wonderfully diverse landscape in which to hone my skills.  Each morning I wake full of anticipation of what Mother Nature will provide me in the way of inspiration.

I wish to bring you along on this journey, should you choose to join me…make sure you have good walking shoes and an open heart.

Come on a long now…what I want to share with you is just around the next corner.

New Year 2009

January 14, 2009 - 11:36 Phil Vaughn - Laura, Thanks for the notification on your blog. I think it's riveting! What a way to start my morning! The technical side of it--the header photos that accent "wanderings"; the collapsable sections; the colors (great!); the logo itself--is very polished. Other important elements--the insight into your point-of-view; hearing the "voice" of your philosophy; the running current of enthusiasm for life, and your photography--all work together so well and highlight your photography and creativity in general. I like this very much--very much, indeed. I'll just say it the way I normally would--"Superb, Laura! I love it!" Phil

January 14, 2009 - 12:27 lthek - Many many thanks Phil. Glad you stopped by for a visit! Laura

January 17, 2009 - 18:50 Iris - Awesome new photo blog - love that you are also sharing some of your thoughts here :) I wouldn't mind returning to Germany, but I am not sure if I could handle the weather after 18 years in the desert of Arizona - lol...
