KODAK MOMENT of the Day

Late night at the train station.

A beautiful November sunset, and it made for great silhouettes of our crabapples. No filters, it really did look just like this.

This is a sweet but special moment shared between mother and son. This little guy is turning one soon and just started walking!

It's the time of year to bring out the Christmas decorations. Sometimes I prefer a quieter atmosphere.

This picture was taken this past Memorial Day. Fog had descended upon the area, which is right on the ocean. The flags looked haunting as well as the man walking slowly, truly appearing to be reflecting upon the significance of the day.

I caught this leaf mid-color change in our yard in Oklahoma in October 2006.

I used a tri-pod with a one minute exposure to get this shot. I almost got hit by the train passing by.

I took this photo of Daisy, the family pet, while doing what she does best... sleep :-)

Visiting a Masai village in the middle of nowhere in Kenya, we brought balloons and crayons as gifts for the children. This girl had never seen a balloon or crayons before.

After a long while and several shots later, I finally captured the Robin with a berry! Dedicated to my friend Rhonda Maurer who I admired all of her bird images whom I lost in touch with :( I hope she sees this!

This is a picture of my daughter with my husband just after he'd picked her up from her afternoon nap. She was snuggling on his shoulder and didn't like her "daddy time" being interrupted!

Here's a picture of Bella, our malamute - wolf-like in appearance but soft in personality. What I like about this photo is that she is sitting in front of Mt. Shuksan in all of its grandness - secretly craving to run freely in this wide open space. Sometimes, don't you wish you too could run free? Taken at Mt. Baker Ski Resort, Washington - April 2006.

I was waiting for my friend at her soccer practice with my other friend - and I just started taking pictures. I had "this" idea, and it took me a while to get it just how I wanted it.

Dreidl is a traditional child's game played during Hannukah. The dreidl is spun like a top and the letters on each side determine what happens. Now you know what those chocolate coins are for!

Here comes Engine #734 moving through the snow.

I took this last Christmas 2005. It was Just a picture of ornaments on my tree - but I really liked how I ended up having a mirror effect.

I love the colors in this Poinsettia. It shows beauty that is often missed. It was taken in Woodinville, Washington, December 2006.

My granddaughter is counting the days....

I was pulling out all the Christmas decorations and this made me think of the song - Santa Claus is Coming to Town !

An electric nativity from Lights-on-the-Lake, Ashtabula, OH...where we still say "Merry Christmas"!

All of the colors of the Christmas are beautiful.

A little snowman having fun riding in an open sleigh! Happy Holidays!

This little girl belongs to a friend of mine.

Frosty was my favorite children's movie. I love snowmen!

This is my daughter Lizzie, singing into her hairbrush.

Rock Hill, South Carolina has a 9 day, annual festival called "Come See Me." The final day features a cookout, attended by thousands, culminating with a fireworks display.

Times Square is THE place to be on New Year's Eve. But wherever you find yourself as the calendar turns, here's wishing you love, happiness, and the best year yet!

This is my 2.5 year old daughter outside our front window right after our recent blizzard.

These are my fur-kids, who brighten each and every day. The front pug does not have eyes - she was rescued from a puppymill and due to horrid conditions, she lost her eyes.

It is dawn at the Golden Temple, at Armistar, India. A delicate "blue flower" is immersed in a prayer. I like her stance, her concentration and the way the early morning light provides a subtle contrast to the light blue cloth.

A photo of a bench on a cold January night in one of the urban parks not too far from where I live. The park is quite busy in the spring, summer and fall, but is quite desolate during our cold winters up here in Nova Scotia. The lighting from the tree really created slight but interesting patterns in the wind-blown snow.

This is a self-portrait of my inner child. We all have one and need to let him out to play every now and then. I may never get the clown make-up off my face though... HA! It was a lot of fun and the kids enjoyed it.

My husband and I took our first cruise to Alaska and were lucky enough to travel the inside passage and view the awesome scenery. This picture shows the reflecion of Sawyer Glacier in the Tracy Arm Fijord.

A picture of my best friends daughter. I was so priviledged to be able to capture the beauty and innocence of her child.

This photogenic frog lives in big flower pot in a small village (Liman) in the Galilee. The frog posed very patiently for several minutes and then jumped back and vanished in the deep of the pot.

It made me laugh when my friends posed like this on there own. It brings a smile to my face everytime I see it. Reminds me of a melodrama!

My favorite fruit! I sure wish I could grow them where I live.

My boy got the giggles while I was snapping a few pics of his sister!:)

This shows a lot about school life.

With the blood rushing to "their" heads. :)

My cousin and her best friend. A very special photo for me.

This sweet cat lives at a garden center that I visit often. He is always happy to take a picture. Taken in Saratoga Springs, NY in October.

I took this picture of a beautiful Lorikeet parrot at a local zoo. They are found in northeast Australia.

The man looks like somebody that's ready to give up -- tired of the hard work and life problems. Location: Istanbul/Turkey

Just a bit of fun with fruit.

Infant Drew held by his very supportive father.

I took three standing pictures and manually assembled in Photoshop to create this Panorama.

January 2007 - Thousands of Jerusalem residents came to pay last respects to mythological former Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kolek at the Safra Municipal Square in Jerusalem. This woman found it difficult to express her grief.

Taken January 06 at Winterdance Dog Sled Derby, Haliburton, ON, Canada. These creatures love to run !

On a usual cold Canada day in March, my girl friend Jenny and I went for a walk on a lakeside in Pickering. God shredded me a light for this picture, and I quickly took the shot and could not wait for the kisses. Believe it or not, that was our first kiss which I'll remember forever.

A local seagull that I was feeding last winter.

This is a portrait of my Great Dane Dozer and my Basset hound Flash. They are inseparable friends and rarely sit still long enough to let me take their pictures. This was taken at a local school, natural light. I removed the background and color to highlight their expressions.

My 8 year old daughter Jacelynn sitting there bored. I desaturated the colors and brought back just a touch of color. "Oh to be a kid again and BORED!" Taken in Moscow, PA, 2006.

This was taken on the soccer field at the old YMCA near my home. There are two feet of snow on the ground, the day after the second blizzard rolled through the Denver area just after Christmas.

A picture of one of my Grandson's.

This was the first time our pup had played on ice. What a delight to watch her! Taken in December 2006 on our pond, Kingsville, OH.

Nature photography is a labour of love. It requires patience, determination and lots of luck. How could you ever convince nine timid little Meerkats on the edge of the Kalahari Desert, to obediently stand together in a group, on a small mound and then have one turn to look directly at the camera. A one in a million shot.
