KODAK MOMENT of the Day

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.

This is my Grandson, Isaac. The picture seems to capture his sweet personality. Photo was taken in October 2006, in Rathdrum, Idaho.

The lovely, delicate little hands of my iguana.

This is a Samburu school in Kenya. It was a small masonry building with virtually no supplies. The children were showing off their knowledge of the English alphabet. Their enthusuasm was inspiring.

A lone leaf laying in the snow on a sunny day - which is why there is water drops on the leaf. Something so simple yet so beautiful. Taken in Moscow, PA.

Made Of... and she is so very much "Sugar and Spice" :0)

My family and I were enjoying a spring day in beautiful Victoria, Australia. I found this shot in a local wildlife park.

This image features my son in front of a group of children's self-portraits on a wall at Webster Elementary School in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It was taken in September of 2006. I am a bit worried about him - he seems to have fallen in with a very suspicious looking group at school this year.

The small boots are following the big boots. It is as if a child is following his father.

While on vacation in Antigua Guatemala, my 4 year old son played with crayons. He did this himself!

Every Christmas I receive petits fours from my Aunt and Uncle. This year I remembered to photograph them before devouring all of them.

Two snails in love.

I wanted to do something with my slinkys involving the holiday Valentines Day. So I put the candy heart in with the slinkys and desaturated the photograph but left the heart candy...BE MINE...in color.

My grand daughter at the Menin Gate Ieper, Belgium.
