There is a phrase that still fills me with joy: “It’s going to snow.” I don’t mean an exuberant joy, the kind that calls one to play in the snow and build a snowman. No. It’s a quiet joy, the kind that calls me to listen…

Cattle Run Farm, established in 1972, may have started with a focus on cattle but it’s a multifaceted organization today. You’ll find a variety of hogs like Yorkshire and Hampshire, a couple of goats, laying chickens and broilers, and Black Angus, Charolais, and Herefords grazing these rolling acres.

I needed a change of scenery today. It had been several weeks since I’d been to the Northern Fauquier park, and I thought I might see different winter birds there. I sighed aloud with a Mallard and Muscovy, felt my spirits lifted by the Canada geese, and found peace in the chaos.

For me, a photographer who usually captures joy in nature or in candids at community events, this, my first maternity shoot, was simply magical. Perhaps it was even more so because we are in the midst of a global pandemic that has created so much uncertainty in the world.

I am stepping out of my comfort zone a bit with these words. You see, an influential person in my life passed away during this Spring of the Coronavirus. It was not from COVID19. It was simply her time after bringing forth her unique style…

Another month has come to a close. As I type, I’m listening to the rain and watching the colors of our woods deepen as they soak up the moisture. The birds continue to dart back and forth between our feeders, trying to dodge the large…

April Ends. A Family Begins.

As I write this, it’s been less than a week of the official quarantine guidance going coast to coast. We are out of our routines. For many, our jobs and volunteer responsibilities are on hiatus. We can’t visit our loved ones out of concern for…

Unique storytelling always piques my interest, so when I heard a fiddle playing poet was coming to Gloria’s I had to see how this story would be told.  Ken Waldman found his path in the world when he ditched the traditional start he got at Duke,…
