I can’t remember a time when photography wasn’t important to me. Ever since I was very young, I wanted to preserve memories that I could look back on later. Little snapshots of people, places and events that were important to me. There are boxes of old negatives, albums of prints, and hard drives filled with digital files. Many are reminders of times that will never occur again and people that are now angels in heaven. Oh how I wish I could relive some of those days when a casual photo was taken that has now become a cherished possession.

We are strictly indoor kitties, but that doesn’t mean we don’t like to get our paws on a bird every now and then! Of course, the only kind of bird that we’re allowed to be near are the kind that are filled with catnip, like this bald eagle that mom just bought for us! He isn’t really bald, he has feathers on his head and feathers on his tail and, well….I must admit, we LOVE feathers! They tickle our noses!

In our neck of the woods, January is the coldest and most dreary month of the year. Still, there is plenty of color to be found. Oak trees are usually the very last to lose their leaves, some clinging to the trees throughout the winter adding interest to the otherwise dull landscape. In Spring, when the Oaks start to bud, the last of the previous year’s leaves will fall, leaving those of us with this mighty tree in our yard yet another opportunity for raking. Hooray!

The beach, the lake, the fog, and the ice …. nature paints a pretty picture!

Over the last couple of days, this part of Pennsylvania has seen temperatures above 50 degrees F, dense fog, high winds, heavy rain, sleet, and now we’re expecting 1″-3″ of snow overnight. It is not unusual to find a raincoat, windbreaker, down coat, hat, gloves, scarf, boots, umbrella, snow shovel, and ice scraper in my car all at the same time! This photo was taken Saturday afternoon when we were experiencing dense fog and mild temperatures. How quickly things change!
