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..."

I SHOULD Lick His Lens…Shouldn’t I…

I-just-have-to-lick-itsigsmCow humor. Last weekend while spending a few glorious day with the alpine cows of Bavaria. We were out shooting in a gorgeous pasture, one very friendly lady cow decided she needed to get to know my husband a bit better. My poor husband is working frantically to catch the constantly changing light and flip film plates and she just refused to stand still. Closer and Closer she came until she was right up against the electric. Gingerly she took her fleshy moist noise and made a test of the fence…no shock. This is when she turned and gave me this one last look…I think you KNOW what happened next.
