Walk in the Woods

September 30, 2025

It has been far too long since I went on a hike with my camera. My life had become such that it was rare for me to find joy in anything at all, let alone my hobbies…and peace was so far away that I forgot what it felt like… It has been a tumultuous few years and now I find myself embraced by peace again… and that longing to delve into the wonder of nature….even if it is as simple as a walk in the woods near my home…

I love finding trees like this, all covered in mushrooms…
I love that sense of wonder when gazing toward the sky in the woods… surrounded in shadows… feels like home
I love that the longer you stare at these the more colors you see… absolutely humble and beautiful…
Another example… so beautiful for such a humble subject.
Finally, there is this little jewel… In a world of brown and green, this little gem shines with shades of citrine and garnet.
Especially when the sun shines through her legs…

This hike was exactly what my soul needed… I can’t wait to share with you what I find on my next hike.

Fort Clinch State Park 2016

My husband and I went hiking at Fort Clinch State Park last weekend.  The weather was lovely and the park was (as usual) breath-taking.  I really enjoy hiking along the beach here – we always see wild-life of one kind or another.  I hope you enjoy the photos!

Haunted

Filed under: Photography, Poetry — Leave a comment
November 9, 2015

Haunted by memories I grasp for you and quickly push you away.

I cannot stomach this closeness yet I desire your touch – crave it –  NEED it…

Fear arises as the brush of your hand resurrects ghosts thought long exorcised…

My body trembles, haunted by the abuse that still lives in my skin and in my breast, beating like a second heart.

It is chaos here… shouts, whispers, whimpers, cries…

Locked in the asylum of my mind.

Black and White

I love the stark lines and contrasts in black and white photography and Ansel Adams is one of my photography heroes!  I know that I will likely never be close to him in art and technique… I will never be close to his artistic eye or passion…. but I love that in the digital age you can easily transition an ok photo to an outstanding photo by switching to B&W and playing with exposure…. Hope you enjoy these few shots…

My favorite local kayaking place is Banks Lake in Lakeland, GA.  The view is breathtaking and the weather was absolutely perfect today – it was clear and cool and windy.  I’m already ready to go again.

Since Halloween is just around the corner I thought I’d share some of my favorite creepy-crawly shots I’ve taken in the last month while weeding my garden.  I hope you enjoy my many-legged friends (or fiends, depending on how you feel about them…)

Love, Hate and the Summer Heat

Filed under: Photography, Random — 2 Comments
August 8, 2015

I’m sure there’s some perfectly scientific, purely logical explanation for why the heat + the humidity makes life in south Georgia nearly unbearable.  It’s so strange…while hiking in Texas last month the temperature was much higher but it felt much better.  Here, 85 degrees feels like an oven, there 110 degrees felt like a breeze.

002 I confess I do not understand the physics of it – but I’m kinda okay with that – it makes it feel like magic to me.

Palo Duro Canyon

I’ve been thoroughly enjoying hiking and exploring in Palo Duro Canyon just south of Amarillo, TX.  I have seen so many new and interesting things.  For a south Georgia girl this trip has been so exotic… I would like to share a few photos with you and I hope you enjoy them – I know I enjoyed taking them.

These beautiful wild sunflowers are everywhere in the canyon...

It is amazing to me and such a display of tenacity that these cacti grow seemingly from the rocks...

Saw this lovely creature hanging out on the pathway looking for some tasty ants to eat... He was beautiful!

It was thrilling to see this beautiful spider hanging out on the side of the trail we were hiking!

This was the most beautiful type of lizard I have ever seen! I was stoked when I saw him... I have never seen one with such bright colors...

Thanks for coming along my hike with me…  I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to explore the world… I hope to have many more adventures in the future and I hope to share them with you.
