summer 2011

spring

A hopeful time of year. Two common trees up close-up and in all their glory.

fall collage

I know I'm lagging, but here's a sweet look back at some beautiful fall days. Each season has its charms, but fall is my favorite. I'm hoping to get my winter collage posted before spring officially arrives. Wish me luck!

the petitcodiac

Enjoyed an afternoon along its muddy banks down river this past weekend. Hot sun, cold wind, a log in the old wood stove, fresh apples & beautiful fall colors. Rejuvenating.

at the water's edge

Here are a variety of photos taken near water over the last couple of summers. It might be a little weird, but when I'm out looking for things to photograph, I often think about whether the subject would make a good screen saver. Anyhoo, that's one way my crazy little brain works.

the beaver gets around

Happy Beaver was designed by Pixar animator Jeff Pidgeon. My workmates & I adore him and admire his relentless enthusiasm. He travels well, so some of us brought him on vacation this summer. Here's where he visited with my family.

changing leaves, delicious air

I've been busy observing & enjoying the change of seasons. The full moon last week was spectacular & the Cortlands are ready. Started walking to work again a few weeks ago, and that always helps start my day with a clear head and a swiftly beating heart.
