Sunset - Cape May, NJ
07 14 2016
And while yesterday was devoted to fun in the sun, there is nothing quite as breathtaking as a sunset at the beach. I took these photos at the very tip of the beach. Was amazing. Many people had the same idea including a couple taking wedding photos. Can’t beat the backdrop.
At the Beach - Cape May, NJ
07 13 2016
As much as I love walking the quiet streets of Cape May, one cannot miss the chance to laze around on the beach and feel the sun on your face and the cool breeze off the water and the soothing sound of the crashing waves. And of course I couldn’t do this without my camera in tow to capture at least the visual parts of that experience.
Cape May Lighthouse - Cape May, NJ

The Cape May Lighthouse is definitely a place to visit if you are ever in the area. It is a majestic site and it is nestled in the most beautiful landscape. I like the walk the trails that surround it and take in the lake and the wildlife. I love the swans in a heart like embrace.
Porches! - Cape May, NJ
07 11 2016
Okay so anyone that has spent any time really looking at my photos or any time with me on a site seeing excursion knows I love my porches. I wish I had one of my own but alas I live in the suburbs in the North. For now until I would secure funds for a major remodel, I am living vicariously.
Vacation Time! - Cape May, NJ
07 10 2016
VACATION time in Cape May, NJ! I LOVE it here!!! We settled into our rental house yesterday after a long day of driving and just strolled the streets taking in the sights and the smells. I didn’t bother with my camera as I just wanted to enjoy the moments.
Today was another day, however. We spent the morning at the Cape May Zoo. It is quaint and full of interesting animals. I took photos of quite a few species but the center of my attention today was on the peacock. He was exquisite and I spent at least 45 minutes trying to capture his plumage from as many angles as possible. Here are my favorites. Plus I was even enthralled with a common squirrel that I spotted playing around on the grounds.

Gallivanting in the Woods
07 03 2016
Still gallivanting but have moved to a more country location. Hiking in the woods was on the agenda for today. Always feels like a homecoming to visit a quiet spot that reminds me of my upbringing. Nice relaxing day with the family along with great exercise and pretty photos.
Long Weekend - Pittsburgh, PA
07 02 2016
Long weekend so decided to gallivant around town today. Pittsburgh, Pa that is. The last photos I took of the Point were too close. I decided a higher elevation was needed today.
Shopping Detour - Lancaster, PA
05 27 2016
On our way home from NYC and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take a slight detour for shopping in my favorite locale, Lancaster Pa. I love the farmlands out here. The colors are something to behold.
More Sight Seeing - New York
05 26 2016
Our last full day in the city and we filled it with some fun sights but also some solemn ones. We visited the top of the Empire State Building today. It was such a hot day that most of my photos were hazy. Hopefully Photoshop magic will help some. Visited the New York Stock Exchange, New York Times, Rockefeller Center, Central Park and the 911 Memorial. I took very few photos here as it felt disrespectful. It was quiet but powerful. I did capture the entrance to the new Transportation Center that is being constructed on the site. The shape was explained to us as both angel’s wings and dove’s wings. Whichever it is, it is beautiful. I also photographed the new One World Trade Center. It was so strange to see the new skyline. It is forever changed but stronger. The last photo I threw in here is just for fun and to me a humorous commentary on the NYC attitude.
Seeing the Sights - New York
05 25 2016
Today was so very full of activity, sight seeing and photo opportunities. We took the NYC See it All Tour and that is exactly what we did. We were able to visit all the major tourist attractions and I must have taken over 400 photos today. My favorites today were The Statue of Liberty (which we were able to get up into her pedestal) and Ellis Island. Not only were the sites amazing at these locations but the view of the city from these vantage points was breathtaking. While we were on the ferry boat, a naval ship was returning to port and the Fire Boats were welcoming them home with a water salute. That was AMAZING!!!
