KODAK MOMENT of the Day

Soon after my brother was promoted to Captain in the Marine Corps, he brought our family to the beach to watch the sunset. Little did we know, he proceeded with an unexpected proposal to the love of his life. There wasn't a dry eye in sight. Cheers to Daulton and Kat.  

The simplest toy is not the sprinkler, it's the Grandma taking the picture! At least that is what my Grandson seems to be saying to me, while having fun in the water with his two older brothers. I really loved that I was able to capture his humor with the water coming up around his face. Just another fun day in Fort Wayne, Indiana!

Spectacular views of Bergen, Norway, the surrounding fjord and mountain landscape can be seen from the top of Mt.Floyen. The top of the mountain can be reached by funicular, one of Bergen's best known attractions. Using my fisheye lens and a Nikon D90, I photographed wide angle views with a hemispherical effect. I knew I captured that unique image when I included the red colored funicular in the foreground of my picture.

During graduation ceremonies, the tassel is turned from the right to the left side, signifying one's' transition from student to graduate.

Another amazing day at Grand Canyon!

During a rainy Sunday in may 2016 pulled the parade through the streets of the village of Stramproy. This woman sat alone in the rain on the street when the parade pass by.

This was taken at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery last spring, shortly before Memorial Day.

Nandi hills which is about 60 kms away from Bangalore city is one of the most famous weekend gateways. People usually go at the early morning to see the sunrise. This photograph is one of the viewpoints in Nandi Hills where people gather around to see the sunrise.

Our 3 grandsons and goofy chocolate lab that thinks he is one of the boys.

Front row for Swim Deep at Glastonbury 2015 twice in one day was one of my most favourite experiences. I'm surprised I managed to pick up my camera in between the dancing and screaming.

I love how the picture gives a sense of playfulness and joy. I took this is Portsmouth, NH. This is related to the theme I chose because its a mystery to who is behind the umbrella giving it a creative/artistic feel to it.

At the Bay Area Great Bull Run there was a guy in costume running ahead of the bulls

The photo was taken during my vacation in Paris.

While visiting in Ormond Beach, Florida, an early morning fisherman waits patiently for a bite on his line. The soft lighting of the rising sun presents lovely shades of color on the ocean against his silhouette.

An early morning runner follows the rhythm of the sea while cruising along the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean.

Anywhere in the world, you can find yourself basking in the glory of the magnificent colors of a sunset. This one happened to be in Paris, France on the eve of Valentine's Day.

Beautiful Saturday Afternoon with my twin nephews Ronan & Dominic and my Golden Retriever Max

This is Patagonia Lake State Park in southern Arizona. It was a beautiful day to be out enjoying the lake and sunshine.

My four year old son(foreground)was taking on more challenges at a local park when I lifted my camera and captured this shot today, July 19, 2015.

My sweet grandbaby playing in the water. I loved the light from the sun in this one.

Father and son took part with a bicycle race, the coastal marathon on 5 October 2013 in the province of Zeeland in Netherlands.

We went on vacation in Gatlinburg, TN. We were hiking in the woods and came across a huge spiderweb. The picture is of my son and husband's reaction to the spiderweb. (slightly overplayed)

A summer evening in New York City: My husband captured this picture of our dogs and I taking a stroll through New York's West Village.

This evening a balloon landed in a field in Altweerterheide in the Netherlands.

First time able to get cousins together at one time, at Lake Conroe, TX. Taken 6/22/14

Bride to be on way to church.

My grandson enjoying the beach ball sprinkler!

The picture represents unity. I was in San Francisco recently, reuniting with a good friend and i noticed that the bridge comes together in the middle. Most people focus on the entire bridge when photographing it, but I see that this pillar is holding the bridge together. The wires unite in the middle to create something beautiful. I took this picture on March 7, 2015.

At night it looked like the galaxy was watching over the people in the town below.

My grandson loves the sprinkler! The wetter he gets the better.

Vacationing in Nev. at Red Rock Canyon. Sept. 2012 Getting ready for a trail ride

I love kayaking. I was fortunate enough to grow up on the water. I love to spend time as much time as possible on the water. The photo was taken on Rainy River in International Falls, MN. The land in the background is Fort Frances, Ontario, Canada. I took the photo one summer evening a couple of years ago. How does it relate.... most people don't have the option of driving a couple of miles and then go paddling, so I chose to categorize this photo as travel (it is one way to move around on the water)/Vacation (it is a mini vacation for me when I can get out on the water away from everything and just relax).

Taken on the beach at Anna Maria Island FL, during a family vacation.

This picture is special to me because it represents a graduation of cameras and skills. It was taken in Barrie, Ontario Canada at the Canada Day celebrations. The fireworks display is the culmination of our city's Canada Day/Promenade Days celebration.

Not only was the light beautiful, but I was fascinated by all the people

I went out on a stormy afternoon, camera in hand hoping to catch some pictures of the approaching storm and lightning. To my dissapointment the rain was too heavy so I packed my things and started heading home. As I passed a marina the skys opened up and a glorious rainbow appeared.

Just a boy, a, tree, and a smile.

Spring 2017

Shot during a set by Nicolas Jaar at FYF Festival 2015 in Los Angeles. The atmosphere of smoke and shadows reflects the opaque nature of modern electronic music, which, not coming from traditional instruments, becomes ethereal.

I took this shot at the Readington Balloon Festival media launch this year.

I waited on Naples Pier for this thunderstorm to roll out on to the gulf. Everybody left the pier because the storm was so bad. I stayed hoping to get that perfect shot of a lightning strike. It paid off. this was taken off the Naples Pier in Naples, FL.
