This picture was taken while on a weekend trip to Assateague Island, Maryland. After years of going to Assateague Island National Park hoping to photograph the wild ponies on the beach. I was so thrilled when I saw this pony "calling" for the others to line up.

Christmas lights with reindeer pulling a semi-truck.
Christmas LightsThis photo is my fiance's grandparents' house. They pulled the old semi into the yard and decorated it! The deer in front are "pulling" the semi. Creative idea!

Scenery: Horseshoe Trail (Mount Baker, WA)My husband and son bundled up and took a winter hike on a cold day. Often hiking is more popular in the summer and fall months, but I think we forget how beautiful winter can be.

Large Elk
Elk (Estes Park, CO)This may be a common sight to some, but we were ecstatic to see this guy up close on a September trip to Estes Park, Colorado. He was huge, beautiful, and made my heart skip a beat. It was, for me, a summation of the glory of nature.

Garden: Bedford (TX)This picture was taken in my yard in Bedford, Texas. The foliage is so eye capturing. Banana trees that get 12 to fifteen foot tall, cannas and so much more. It's like a island paradise.

Scenery: Summer RemnantsI love to photograph and draw botanicals. Now when we are snowed in, I did not expect to find much on my crunchy/squeaky walk to the spring. Wrong! There was a summer once and she left forms against the snow in the exquisite remnants of wildflower bracts and seed pods.

Wildlife: Hungry BirdsWe just could not stand by, and let the birds go with out their daily bird food. So my husband put on a hat, jacket and boots, and got the snow shovel, and made a path to the bird feeder.

Osprey
Wildlife: OspreyThis Osprey just didn't like how windy it was so decided to wait out the wind, by sitting on my condo railing. He could care less if I came out to see him or not. When I tried to make him fly off. All he did was turn from facing the building to looking away!

Closeup of lily.
Garden: Stargazer LilyThis photo is just a flower in my backyard that I really like. My other flowers got ruined by a dog, and this, along with about four others survived. I added an overlay to boost the colors which I feel make it much more vibrant and beautiful.

Lake with shore in the distance.
Scenery: Ontelaunee Lake (Leesport, PA)These are a few pictures of Ontelaunee Lake in Leesport, Berks County Pennsylvania. It's a man made lake that was part of a system of lakes created to stop the severe flooding that our county went through during the very devastating 1972 Hurricane Agnes.

Tattered Flag
Photo: Tattered FlagWhen I see this flag, I think of the the troops that are in Iraq during the winter while we are at home warm by the fires with our families. They are out there defending the country they love and their beloved families that live here.

Scenery: Wildflowers (Estes Park, CO)I'm not even sure what these are called. There wasn't much plant life up in the mountains in Estes Park, and certainly not much color. These little guys stood out.

Baby Cardinals
Wildlife: Baby CardinalsThis was taken off my pool deck in my backyard. My husband was able to capture the wonderful moment of the baby cardinals in their nest waiting for their mom to come back with some food.

After a Forest Fire (Colorado)
After a Forest Fire (Colorado)While this area had been damaged by a forest fire the previous year, I found a certain beauty still left among the standing tree trunks. The area will recover, but even in this state, there is beauty in nature.

Deer in Virginia.
Grazing Deer (Bluntsville, VA)Recently a friend invited me to Bluntsville, VA. This was 100 years ago a beautiful ore mining and plantation area. It is now abandoned with old homes, plantations and acres of untouched forest.

Scenery: Sea Coming In (Withernsea, UK) My girls Stella, 10 and Rosa 4, live in a nice seaside town called Withernsea off the East Coast, UK. We are always at the beach after school. When we went one time, the sea was like this. My girls and I thought this was fascinating!

White Christmas
White ChristmasThis was our white Christmas this year in Western N.C. It snowed for more than 10 hours. We got 9 inches of heavy snow. It tied a record going back to 1947. The neighborhood kids were quite busy making snowmen and the usual snowball fights.
