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..."

If You Build It…They Will Come

sistersville2sigsmOn my first morning in West Virginia, (or as it is commonly known, WEST BY GOD VIRGINIA), my mother took me up the street to see the start of a local farm movement.  Each Saturday a group of local growers and crafts people are gathering in a vacant lot on Main Street in Sisterville, WV.  They creatively display their home grown and home made wares, as country music fills the air.  A lovely group of friendly faces shared with me their goals and expectations for this new endeavor.

If you are in WV and make it to Sistersville it is worth trying to get here on a day that they are having their market.  Country crafts frame around the deliciously fresh picked veggies while local ladies chat while selling jams and jellies and tenderly cared for plant cuttings.
