One of the things I wanted to know after Davey was born was what he would look like. I had barely a moment to gaze into his eyes before he was whisked off to the Special Care Nursery, then another too brief visit a few hours later when we were told for the first time […]

Now, just because I take pictures of horses doesn’t mean I think I’m some kind of Jr Pioneer Woman. I too have horses. I too am a photographer. Oh, and we both have four kids. But we live worlds apart, even though, yeah, sure, the life she’s living would have sounded like heaven to me […]

A mild day of steady rain, drizzling to downpour to light sprinkles. Then the sun breaks through on the western horizon late in the afternoon. Minutes later, we are all gathered in the yard, gazing up at this gorgeous pair of rainbows.
Today is brilliantly sunny. But no chance of rainbows, alas.

I’m busy, busy this morning. It’s Monday, working on edits to a manuscript, working on photos, listening to old Kate Bush, reveling in a glorious autumn day.
These little ones are of one of the many generations of raccoons who’ve been born and reared in the eaves of our barn. Cute, ain’t they?
