This is a pile of credit card offers that I have received in the last two weeks. Can you believe it? No wonder our economy is in such bad shape! How irresponsible of these banks to try to entice people to take on all this debt!

Day 44-My All Time Favorite

Day 44, originally uploaded by rhmom42.

This is my all time favorite candy, the Reese’s Peanut Butter Heart. It is the perfect ratio of chocolate to peanut butter. No double stuffed for me, thank you, just the classic peanut butter heart that I’ve been eating since I was a kid. While I enjoy the Reese’s pumpkins, [...]

As you have most definitely guessed, I’m in love with the Macro setting on my lens. Shooting in macro presents a different take on things to me. I was inspired to take this particular shot after seeing a similar one used to demonstrate shallow depth of field (where only a [...]

OK. I will admit right up front that today’s photo is not my best work. But it’s 25 degrees here and feels like 9 with the wind chill. AND, of course, today is the day my daughter and I had to take a sick pony to the vet. So, I’m [...]

A Simple Wish for Christmas Joy

May you and your family be blessed with a joyous holiday season. And may the Miracle of Christmas fill your heart. Merry Christmas!

Winter’s Beauty

Today, on the very first day of winter, Mother Nature made her presence known in southern New Jersey with an ice storm. Even in the frigid cold, there was beauty everywhere. I couldn’t resist grabbing my camera to record the beauty while it lasts. The sound of drip, drip, drip echoing in the silence of [...]
