Sunset behind my house (around 8pm) - July 27, 2022
The local-project meeting was small tonight, but I got a lot of info. I took photos of the slides, though I’m sure many will be blurry. When I got home, the sunset was quite lovely, so I took photos.
First image was captured with the regular lens. The 3 detail shots were taken with the telephoto lens.

Happy September 🍂
It feels as though an eternity has passed since my last post.. I'm overjoyed to announce that after a very long search, I've finally found a place where my heart can rest and my soul can thrive. Last week we closed on a c. 1800 antique colonial lovingly preserved in idyllic mid-coast Maine amidst picturesque mountain views, forests, and wildflower fields. We even have a small, centuries-old apple orchard to explore and care for 🥹
From the moment I arrived, I knew I had discovered my sanctuary 🕯️ Antique homes have always held a special place in my soul and now I find myself living out the dream that has danced in my imagination for years.
There’s a sense of timelessness that lingers in the air.. The walls adorned with stories of days long gone. The wavy panes of the window glass, gently distorting the world beyond. The large fireplaces bearing witness to the warmth and laughter that once graced these rooms. The worn wide wood floors, aged with a beautiful patina — a testament to centuries of lives and dreams that have unfolded here.
Every crack and creak an invitation to embrace the imperfections of life.
I can't begin to express the depth of gratitude that fills my heart as I embark on this new chapter. I’m excited to share with you the beauty that surrounds me in this special place, and I’m eager to dive back into photography and the studio — to paint and create once again.
This week, we began clearing out what will soon become my art studio, housed in the barn converted workshop that was built c. 1800 and is situated just beyond a majestic weeping willow.
To those who have stuck with me throughout this journey, your support means the world to me, and I am forever grateful for your continued encouragement.
So here we are, at the beginning of a new chapter. This is my return, and I can't wait to share more with you 🤎
