The camera has always been a guide, and it’s allowed me to see things and focus on things that maybe an average person wouldn’t even notice.”
― Don Chadwick
Close “Up”…

― Albert Einstein
Looking “Up”…
“
The dreamer’s untamed eye sees beyond the illusions to the heart of what is real.”
― Bryant McGill

Weekly photo challenge (illumination)
I find both the lights in the background and the contents of the sign to be beautifully illuminating….
The home illuminated at night…
“And of all illumination which human reason can give, none is comparable to the discovery of what we are, our nature, our obligations, what happiness we are capable of, and what are the means of attaining it.”
Adam Weishaupt…
Love the illumination that occurs during the holiday season…
And at the end of the day…
Weekly photo Challenge (My 2012 in pictures)
Siblings and I visited my very sick father, whom we did not expect to survive February
Family rallied around my ill father
Ignoring my advice that they hire a pro, my friends insisted I photograph their wedding. The first time I ever attempted this. Yikes!
The Bride getting ready
The flowergirl loved her curls
Maid of honor
Went back to Maine in July, where my father had made a near miraculous recovery!

Met the latest addition to the family, my nephew Henry
And the latest 4 legged member of the family, Fozzie.
I love my parents house at night!
My brother did the wise thing and asked this girl to marry him! She said yes.
And Nathaniel, the coolest 5 year old I know
My oldest nephew Owen was there too
His sister Amelia, my only niece
Of course I can’t forget Cooper, who’s almost 2, hanging out with his Aunt
Saw some beautiful summer nights!
Laid on my parents dock and looked at some amazing sights (worth the cold night air)
Late summer in the deep south. Much steamier, but still some beautiful night skies!
You can lose a pint of blood to the mosquitoes getting a shot like this!
This fall the food trucks began to invade my town
Every week they roll in. Yum!
We were eyeballing each other!
Fall visitor to my dock
Another fall visitor. Less intimidating.
Pretty easy to be thankful when Thanksgiving day looks like this in your hometown!
Had my first Christmas off in years, so what did I do?…see photo for answer
My father is still doing well, and Santa was good to me too! Great Xmas!
The harsh winter conditions I am dealing with as 2012 prepares to fly away! Happy New year !
