I've been whining lately that I'm running out of places to go on my photo hikes. I've done beaches, I've done the local state parks, I've found out-of-the-way trails that aren't on any maps. What could I do to mix things up? I was getting tired of taking the same photos over and over, changing … Continue reading Off track

I started out on my photo hike this weekend thinking I would go to the historic downtown of a small city near me ~ well, really not so near. It … Continue reading Falling waters

Eugene Smith I'm working on a new 365 Project, theoretically posting a new photo every day for a year. As I build that album, it's available … Continue reading Beckoning in the distance

Enjoying it while I can

January 1, 2012January 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 14 Comments

As I did on Christmas Eve, I spent New Year's Eve at the beach. All of this gorgeous, warm winter weather has me a little concerned about the remainder of the season and that Mother Nature is saving up for something truly epic ~ apocalyptic epic, New Ice Age sort of cold. I'm a little … Continue reading Enjoying it while I can
