Mouse Trouble! No not that kind of Mouse!

Iceberg off of L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland




No, not the kind with whiskers and a tail. The kind you use with your computer.

I love the iMac my partner helped me purchase last Christmas. The 27" screen is wonderful for graphic work.

But the wireless mouse eats more batteries then my cat Finn eats cat food. What to do? I ordered a USB wired mouse, but I miss the ability to scroll up and down with ease. It isn't an Apple mouse so it isn't as efficient as my wireless one. So I located the battery charger I bought to use with my Dimage camera and started charging. It took about 6 hours to get them fully charge.

So far, so good. I will see how long these batteries last before I have to recharge them. At least I won't have to buy more.

Vintage Style Photography








Vintage Style Photography seems to be the rage on Etsy and other online sites. Sometimes I love it, and other times I don't. I would love to hear other opinions on the subject of a vintage look added to digital and film images.

From Ireland With Love





I have visited many parts of our beautiful world, fun places that I would love to go back to. One of my favorites is traveling by car through Ireland. I haven't been there in several years. But I would go there in a minute if my partner said "Let's go!"

This photograph is of my favorite castles and pub! Bunratty Castle and Durty Nelly's.

Metallic Paper Something New For Me




I am just beginning to print some of my images on metallic paper. I like the slight 3-D effect it gives and the pearl like look it give your image. Unfortunately, you can't see how great it looks on this Zebra Butterfly. It just doesn't translate to your computer or Etsy shop.

I shot this Zebra butterfly in South Dakota in a wonderful butterfly house. I have photographed them in the wild down in Flamingo in the Everglades. I textured and created the fringe edge on this image.

Well I Decided to Take The Plunge!


I am going to join a folio site to list and have buyers, friends, and relatives look at my photos.
I have already added a slide show to my blog and will be adding one to my website.

As soon as this new site is ready to go, I will post a link here.
