Her royal highness likes to keep me company as I type…
They like a nice warm lap… this is their, “You’re not really going to stand up now, are you?” face…

It’s that time of year again… no… no major holiday – it’s vacation time. My husband and I usually get out of town for a week or two in July and I am so excited for our trip… I was thinking about some of our favorite trips over the last few years…

Next stop….? I’ll keep you posted 🙂
I took a hike on Sunday at Okefenokee Swamp (Stephen C. Foster State Park) and it was a beautiful day!
I have never seen a Swallow-tailed Kite in person before and I have always wanted to see one… This one was breath-taking!
I saw this Millipede on the tree and it was just perfectly situated!! I was surprised to see a smiling tree… I have to say this was my favorite shot of the day…
This little Wren was hard to catch… he moved so quickly I could only get one good photo out of several that I took… but my persistence was well worth it… I think he is beautiful!
This large orb weaver/banana spider was right off the trail and he was huge! I think these are beautiful spiders.
These White-tailed Deer are so beautiful. There were 3-4 right along the trail and they were polite enough to sit still and let me photograph them.
And last but not least – it would not be a good swamp hike without a good photo of an Alligator. This one was a real beauty… and an opportunist! He was trying to steal fish from the fishermen along the bank.
I was doing some yard work the other day when I noticed this bird’s nest… I could not resist a peek inside and was pleasantly surprised to find little fuzzy Mockingbirds inside. I had to climb up on a yard chair to get high enough to snap the pictures…
I love how rainbows make me feel….. Every time I look at them I feel a surge of hope. Their beauty is ethereal and fleeting but the impression they leave on my heart is deep and permanent.
It just makes my day when these beautiful moths show up on my screen door… They are so lovely!
I thought they were especially beautiful in black and white…
I couldn’t resist the cliche of this photo project… I know they are every where, but I must admit it was a fun photo afternoon …
I love the way this one turned out….
Afternoon sunlight + blinds = photo fun in the afternoon…
I enjoyed the colors in this one…. and I played with exposure too to give it an almost day-dream quality…
I don’t know why but there’s just something so lonesome about a train… I spotted this one and had to snap a quick shot… I love the marriage of industry and nature in this scene…
I really enjoyed hiking here at Suwanee River State Park, the weather was perfect and the trail along the river was beautiful… I happened to hit it at that golden time of day when the light and shadows were playing off each other nicely…
Some days it feels like there are no ears to hear our cries. I have faith that this is not the case, but some days I wish that I had a definite answer… some definite sign that my prayers were heard and that an answer was on the way… Some days faith comes so easily to me and other days it feels nearly impossible…
