In the Presence of Swans
I had never seen so many swans in one place before, and I wished for my zoom lens, which I had not brought on a painting expedition.

Black and White Photos from Parent’s Weekend
Here are the black and white photos I took from parent’s weekend.
Parent’s Weekend at Juniata College
It was great to see our youngest daughter after her first 6 weeks of college. She is doing well, working hard, and having fun. We brought her a massive care package of her favorite food, as well as other sundries she needed or asked for.
Farmer’s Market Photos
But maybe more than anything, I love the people there, and the amazing opportunities for juxtaposing colors and shapes in effortlessly inspired composition.
September Flowers
I live in a beautiful place and September is a glorious month! Check out these copious blooms…
Canoeing with Nancy
I loved the company, the meandering pace, the reflections, the swirls of plant life under water, even the texture of the algae.
Black and White Photos I Took at Camp
Here are the black and white photographs I took while I was at camp…
People at Creative Arts Camp 2015
As you have seen in photos, Camp Newfound is a beautiful setting to spend some time in. But what makes Creative Arts Camp so special is the people.
More Photos of Camp Newfound 2015
I have been busy with my class here, as well as trying to also paint a plein air oil painting and yammer with friends. I haven’t had much time to take photos, and I feel like I’ve taken so many of them already in years past.
A Lovely Camp Day
For the first time in the ten years I’ve been coming the water was both warm enough and calm enough for me to swim to Cherry Island and back (1/2 mile).
Back to My Usual Haunts
We have settled back into life as usual, but as often happens after a refreshing time away, I am seeing with new eyes…
Juniata Freshman Dorm Drop Off
We got up early and drove through the beautiful morning mist to the Juniata campus. It is the first time my husband has seen it.
Getting Ready and on Our Way to College
We’ve been scrambling around running errands to get our daughter set to go off to college. She did a Target run, bought a new apple laptop with a protective black case, and got her first debit card.
We’re Home!
Oh my! We’re home!
It feels odd to be back after being gone so long. The garden, which was in its early stages when we left, is bursting with produce.
Other Vermont Photos
We had a great time in Vermont for our reunion with the Castor side of the family, as I shared in the last two posts. Here are the photos I took during this visit that were not photos of family…
Our 18 Month Old Grand Nephew
It was especially great seeing my nephew’s young family at Castorama. His wife is lovely, and their son, who has grown up a lot since we saw him last summer, is a joy to be around.
