I was having fun on a cold, sunny, snow-flurrying day in Jim Thorpe, Pa. with the Lensbaby fisheye optic. Catching my shadow in the image was an unexpected surprise!

I shot this image of fallen leaves over the weekend. Do you think it’s an image of leaves on the ground or leaves in the water? This is one of those images that would make a fun (and difficult!) jigsaw puzzle!

Mother Nature has been brutal this summer in my neck of the woods. First there was a hail storm in late May that damaged homes and cars, then a horrific storm in early July with wind shear that took down 1,500 trees in my community and left us without power. September has brought Hurricane Irene and just this past week, the remnants of tropical storm Lee which caused torrential rains and flooding. Today I needed to go out and take a walk to try and appreciate the beauty in the world around me and de-stress. The lake was very peaceful – just a couple people on the beach and a boat or two on the water . Soon these boats will be removed and the docks pulled in preparation for winter. I hope to enjoy the last days of summer here as much as I can!

Yesterday I was out and about with the old point & shoot taking photos of some damage from a recent storm in the community. My last stop was at the lake where I saw this boat cruising by with 3 pups on board. At first I thought there were only 2, but turns out pooch number 3 was manning the starboard side in the back of the craft…see image below. They looked like they were having a great time!

This image reminds me of a cool restaurant that I visited in San Francisco called Mel’s Drive-In. [http://www.melsdrive-in.com/] It’s a 50’s style diner that was recently featured on The Food Network Star TV show. They have the best food at Mel’s….yummy diner food and even mini-jukeboxes on each table! The blog image was taken July 4th at the Quakertown, Pa. car show. I had such a great time there!
