Carrot Cake and Dog Seranades
Over the weekend we celebrated my son's birthday. As the years have passed, the celebration preparations have significantly changed. The once frantic everything needs to organize, party invites, and gift shopping has definitely simplified. It's funny how we try to...
Frog Surprise!
I have been a bit sad this Summer. I have loved having this pair of frogs in my small above ground pond the past 2 summers. Every winter day I would peer out and pray that they survived their frozen state in the super cold water (something I never realized they could...
Blind Poodle and Sing Along
The other day I thought of an idea where I can perform my music with a real purpose which is to make people feel good and smile. I visited a senior living community where my mom currently resides with her blind poodle. I went through a setlist of song some covers and...
Stealing Back Time
We were truly blessed this weekend in Maryland with gorgeous weather. After weeks of rain and heat the mornings greeted us with crisp breezes and birds singing merrily. I can truly say a large portion of my time was spent outside and not hiding in my cool basement. It...
By The Campfire
There is something soothing and mind opening about sitting by the fire. It could be in an isolated campground deep in the dense forest or in my own backyard in the middle of a suburban town. Tonight it is the later. I am tucked onto my mother’s bench, I grabbed during...
Pink Skies and Wet Dogs
I woke at 4:30 AM. I lay there thinking that there are only 2 more days to see the sunrise at the beach. To my surprise the sky had gifted gorgeous hues of red. The contrast between the color and the dark created incredible silhouettes of buildings transforming them...
Waking Up With a New Song and a White Lie
As I wearily opened my eyes in the early morning, I was awakened by a melody running through my mind. I decided to lay there letting it play through and finish before popping out of bed to run downstairs and do a quick vocal record. Five minutes later I am in front of...
Music on the River: With a Gentle Breeze
The Perfect Setting for Performing A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to perform outside for a private event on the water. Let’s just say I snatched that up quickly. It is the perfect vibe for my originals and covers. I worked tirelessly find the right songs...
Capturing Sounds and Moments: A Blend of Imagery and Melody
This blog site originally started off as a photoblog site in 2013 as a way to share my photography and write about journeys, while sharing creative inspirations. Through the many years it has just sat, basically as I started to build my company and raise my sons into...
Paintings On My Wall: The Things I am Grateful for as a Mom
The advice “enjoy it while you can this moment will pass by fast”, is wise. Ignored at the time as a mom who was too involved in making sure she did everything right in her new mom career. One early morning, I was just sitting on my couch strumming some chords with no...
The Rabbit Hole of Creativity
Which activities make you lose track of time? Losing track of time is easy when you are in your jam or doing something you truly love. I just had this conversation with my son a few days ago. He felt like what he was doing was a waste of time. He had spent days...

Magnificent Beast Within
You never really realize how massive some things are until you approach them. Giving them an appropriate distance is important, not only for your safety but for theirs as well. No one wants to startle a beast when you know you are approaching one. It could be a kind,...
Flowers and Focal Points
Enjoying my new camera, I experimented with the focal point feature. With multiple focal points I tried to get a middle focus or somewhere in-between. Notice one little bud off to the right is more in focus than the foreground and flowers behind. To me, the eye...
Chesapeake Bay Bridge Sunrise: No 2
Maryland's Chesapeake Bay Bridge at Sunrise The Chesapeake Bay is beautiful, especially at sunrise. This photo of the Bay Bridge, during the sunrise, was taken from the Carnival Pride Cruise. I was amazed at the lines and patterns of this bridge. It was an amazing...
The Dancing Rose
Rose Gray Scale Gives a Dancing Feel In this photograph I was looking to transform a rather dull colored photo of rose into something that conveys movement while setting a melancholy mood. This is a photograph of a red rose. Something so beautiful that requires so...
Silhouettes in the Night
Honestly I don't which I loved more...my sons coming out with me to explore the vast sky or the challenge to capture the sky and the beauty that seemed endless. Arches National Park is now a registered Dark Sky Park, which to my surprise I realized last week when I...
Chesapeake Bay Bridge Sunrise
A rare opportunity to view the Chesapeake Bay Bridge from the balcony of our room from our Carnival Cruise returning from the Bahamas. It was one of the most beautiful sites I have seen (except for the blue waters and white sands of the Caribbean-another post). I used...
When Moose Mocks
When you go on a hike with the name Moose in it and find out the Moose are hanging out at the public beach area instead. We had never seen a moose this close. Having done our fair share of moose hunting in Maine and Eastern Canada we got a double whammy to be...
Take a Moment: Inspirations of Nature
Inspiration from outside. Quiet. A place that often seems there but never found. A spot held close in our heart to cherish. Close your eyes. Listen. Many choral sounds of every bird imaginable are paired with the soften chirps and vibrations of the earth in her...
Abstracting Longwood Gardens
Longwood Garden Light Display Just awhile ago I had the pleasure of visiting Longwood Gardens in PA. While the crowds were a bit overwhelming, the spectacular exhibits were not. But beyond the typical light images that I enjoy taking a step outside my comfort zone and...
Holiday Challenge: Abstract Photography
Holiday Abstract By Jennifer Triplett The mission of this photography session was to create the lights as if they were floating by themselves and to make them apear at different levels which was achieved with stepping my camera lens manually.
Abstract Photography: The Storm
Fun Friday or Freedom Friday. Happy Solstice! My way to do something a little different that comes from studio work. Freedom to be creative and explore the unknown and simply see what transpires. This photography of lights was actually taken while moving in a car at...
