Profile
I am a retired high school English teacher, a writer, and a fledgling photographer who’s just trying her wings at this new art. Thank you for viewing my pictures and for helping me learn little by little about a fascinating field of study. I hope I can mirror, even in a tiny way, some of the beauty of this wonderful world we’re privileged to inhabit. A sense of appreciation and gratitude is the least we can do in response to all that the good Lord has given us. I try to convey that in my images.
Quote: “For those who have faith, the entire universe speaks of the Triune God. From the spaces between the stars to microscopic particles, all that exists refers to a Being who communicates himself in the multiplicity and variety of elements, as in an immense symphony.” Pope Benedict XVI
I hope these humble images I’ve captured add sweet notes of harmony to the universal symphony alluded to in the above words of the Holy Father.

Reflection on Christmas Giving
Christmas giving is often approached in the same way we approach grocery shopping. How different from another approach to holiday giving I read about several years ago . . .
Little Blind Girl
When she was a child, people sometimes approached the little blind girl and advised her to pray for sight, to plead for mercy from the One who could restore her vision. And she did. For years and year…
Wing of the Dove
Janice was washing dishes one bitterly cold winter day when she noticed a dark form on the ledge outside the kitchen window. Straining for a closer view, she climbed onto a stool to try to figure out …
Something Special for Stephanie
Christmas shopping is already beginning . . . I thought I’d post this story because it contains a really good tip to keep in mind when searching for that just right gift . . .
Sebastian
God does work in mysterious ways . . . and we never know when He will surprise us with one of these mysteries.
Stretch out your hand . . .
Have you ever wanted to give up . . .
