Being in Love.........Still on my mind as I plan my next adventures!

A week after my return from Love VA:

There was more LOVE in VA then I have ever experienced. The comical thing is or was I was alone on this assignment. No G/f, no assistant, no help and oh yeah thanks to ATT no phone service, internet was non existent. It was paradise for me and hell for my editor Darlene, With no way of contact no images equals no feature story..

I found my place - I found my happiness- I listened to the voice of mother nature- I was soothed in the waters of lake Sherando- I was swept away by the winds on spy rock-


I soared with the hawks and ran with the deer- I tasted the sweetness of wild flowers and got engrossed with the mating ritual of the butterflies....

It was the first time in ages I journeyed and found the most perfect wishing spot and said my peace and left my mark...... I share some of the LOVE with you........


Leaving NYC@ 4:44am after one amazing weekend in the city!

After a few strong nights in NYC- I left the city at 4:44 am and headed up to the mountains.....

Driving through the rain in complete blackness running after Monday morning's sunrise in the valleys and the hills NY state










Up and down winding through the vacant roads I just found my spot and found emptiness. That emptiness just happened to be on the Everette's farm somewhere off rt 20.


Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Everette for allowing me to park on your farm, then jump over your fence to get a few pictures. PS Your dogs are very nice but bark a lot!

This is either heaven or hell....

This is Kris Smith.. One of the last things he said to me was....

This is either Heaven or Hell!
These are a few of the images that did or did not make it into the Sept issue of Destinations Travel Magazine, but left a deeper impression days after I returned home.




By the time you finish with this hike you will know....

As I sit here now in NY I know whole heartily this was and is heaven...


From the open road to the cross roads this assignment was in my top 3 adventures...







Over and under trees and rocks just jutted out, fell over and found there place....

I was just lucky enough to be able to see, hear and share some of those things..

When its raining and the skies are black I am very happy ...

To be working inside.........I owe it to myself to show and tell, to post all / more but being overloaded is no excuse...

Immersed these past 6 weeks in friends- in family- in myself~ Overloaded with options- backing flipping over clients~ hopscotching over dreams~

But all I really want is another piece of this..............



And 2 other things.........
