I love walking down country roads and looking for things to shoot with my macro lens. I brought the thistles and the grass inside because it was breezy and I knew they wouldn't be sharp outside. I love how the macro brings out all the little details that I don't notice just with my eyes. Even weeds are beautiful!
This little hummingbird flew into a window. While it was sitting on the window sill trying to recover from the crash, I was able to snap some shots of it.
I love to visit the Museum of Appalachia in Norris, TN, and just wander from cabin to cabin. I think about the people who lived in these cabins, the ladies who feed their families at these tables, laid their babies in the cradle, rocked their babies in the rocking chair and probably even delivered their babies in their bed in their cabin. What was their life like? Were their hopes and dreams for their children similar to our hopes and dreams for ours today? If these walls could only talk, oh the stories they would tell.
I am 49 years old, I have 2 adult sons, a grandaughter & a grandson. I am happily married to the love of my life. I have been intrigued with photography for as long as I can remember. I am constantly striving to learn something new and improve my photography. I love doing portraits, macros, and scenic shots. I literally take my camera everywhere I go. I find that the more I learn about photographing my world, the more I learn to "see" the beauty around me.
