There will be many more shots from a farm I was given permission to wander around yesterday. For now, I kinda liked this one …

Raleigh: Perfect Opportunity to Practice Portraits!
I have so much to learn about photography, and even though I am thoroughly enjoying the process, I am often impatient with my less than rapid growth. I particularly need to improve my skill with photographing people.
On Monday, I had the chance to visit with Amy and Debbie, and while we enjoyed our catch up time, sweet little Raleigh enjoyed her snacks and playtime. It was the perfect chance to practice and I had fun photographing her.
Raleigh chattered all evening, and was often smiling and playful, but my favorite shot was this one. Don’t you wonder what she was thinking?
She sure loved those apple slices!
And managed to entertain us as she ate.
This was the best one in B&W
Was she ready to get out of the highchair?
Or just ready for bed?
Either way, she’s pretty darn sweet and made the perfect subject for portrait practice!
Who Said Winter Has No Color?
Reflections
Yesterday was very cold, with an almost bone chilling rain.
Today, the sun returned! And it cast lovely reflections on the puddles and creeks that I passed on the way to work. As I was running alongside the road to get these pictures, I had 2 people stop to offer help. It must look strange to see a woman running down the side of the road in skirt and heels. I hold my camera high so folks can see what I’m up to, but it must not be obvious enough!
As I turned around to get back in the truck, I was taken by the pretty green color of the tree lichen.
Not a bad way to start the work day!
Evidence!
I was heading home last evening after a long (but good) day when the shadows that appeared like stripes on the grass caught my eye. The scene revealed evidence of the past winter, the recent flood and the coming of spring.
What a lovely way to end the work day!
History Preserved: Williamsburg
The majority of my time in Williamsburg was spent in meetings and seminars related to Nurse Practitioners and healthcare. Thankfully I found one hour of time, early one morning, to walk the restored area and take some pictures.
I’m back home after an 8 day, 900 mile trip for business and pleasure around Virginia! Thanks for following me along the way!
Day 5-7- Williamsburg: The Warmth of Brick
It’s been an excellent conference, filled with opportunities for increasing knowledge and catching up with friends and colleagues, with time for good food and wine and even a little fun!
This morning I also found some time to get out early and shoot some of the sights around the restored area of Williamsburg. I took many photos, but what struck me the most was how warm the bricks looked with the 6:30 am sun shining on them.
I’ll post more pictures from the restored area later … for now, I hope you enjoy the early morning warmth and sunlight.

Opening or Closing?
Day 4 – Good Morning From Williamsburg!
Almost 500 Nurse Practitioners have gathered in Williamsburg for the 2013 Virginia Council of Nurse Practitioners conference. The conference is an opportunity for learning new concepts, gaining knowledge, and advocating for improved health care for all citizens.
It is TIME for transition and change in healthcare and to move away from the territoriality that is promoted by certain healthcare providers!
For now, a few quick pictures from the Williamsburg Lodge.
