During August we see more spider webs in our area. This may be because we have a heavier dew and the dew makes the webs show up better. The webs that spiders weave are amazing and so intricate. The pine trees at our neighbours have all kinds of webs on them. In the morning sun […]
What is the camera like on the iPhone and SmartPhones? I’ve had the opportunity to use an iPhone 4, and now have an HTC Raider. Each of these has a front facing and rear facing camera. The front facing camera is an 8 mp on both of these and have similar features. Can they take […]
I recently was the photographer for my niece’s wedding. She was a beautiful bride, and everyone looked lovely at the wedding. We ran into some issues, which affected what photos we were able to take – things were running late, and the weather did not cooperate (rain and thunderstorms). We were going to take the […]
August 7, 2011 was the date I started this blog. I wasn’t sure about starting one and wondered if I could/would keep it up. I also wondered about what the purpose of my blog would be. I think I can express those thoughts a bit more now. I would like to have this blog: Reflect […]
I’ve been asked to be the photographer at a wedding very soon. This is fairly new to me. I did a wedding for my niece 5 years ago, but didn’t have much time to get nervous about it as I only had a few days’ notice. A friend offered to have me use her equipment […]

During most evenings in the summer, we take the boat for a trip around the lake. I like this time of year. The view is very interesting as the clouds and sunsets are always different. We never know quite how it will look when we head out. It’s a very relaxing time and a great […]
My camera broke. This was not a nice feeling for me. The main dial no longer allows me to change my shutter or aperture. I was looking into getting it repaired, but my husband and I talked about it, and I’ve decided to get a new camera. In the meantime, I wanted to test the […]
A friend gave me an orchid as a thank you gift. I don’t have much of a green thumb, so I was concerned about whether I could keep it living or not. All that I have ever known (or thought I knew) about orchids is that they are delicate and difficult to keep growing. She […]
West Guilford puts on a pretty good fireworks show. It’s held over Pine Lake, and looks great. Lately, we haven’t gone right to Pine Lake to watch it as we are able to see them from our own lake. We can stand on our dock to watch them, and listen to them as the sound […]
