Hello

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!

It’s a quiet Christmas for us this year. I had knee surgery last Thursday and have been busy recuperating. I’m back on my feet now and while I’m not completely back to normal, the pain of the surgery is less than the knee pain I had for quite a while. So it’s all good.

I’ve been experimenting a little with high contrast black and white – what do you think?

Creating Again

Well I have been busy. The creative juices are flowing again and I’ve been creating all sorts of great photographs. At least I like them. I hope you do too. I guess I needed something new to photograph. I’m going to have to branch out a little bit, try some new places. The next big trip is the Everglades in the early spring which I don’t get to visit near enough. It may be a couple weeks before you see the new ones on the website, there’s Christmas presents to make, show schedule postcards to design and order, and generally getting ready for the next show season which starts the end of January. If you want a postcard, be sure to visit my website and send me your address.

Back home

Well I’m back home safe and sound in Florida. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my daughter, sister, and grand babies. At times I wish I lived closer to them but my daughter is doing a wonderful job. There’s a lot to be said for letting your grown children work out their own lives and I’m not sure I could have stepped back far enough if I lived close by. I also had a nice visit with my mother-in-law. We did something that I’m ashamed to say I haven’t done until now, having spent so much time in Charlottesville over the years. We visited Monticello. I’m sure the photograph I took has been taken my many others over the years, but it’s a nice memory and I like it.

Check out my website, http://www.serenityscenes.com/ for some of the photographs from the trip. I’ll be adding more as I sort through them.
