I love this photo of fall dandelions. At least I think they are dandelions. Once in photoshop, I couldn't help but play with some actions and loved them all even more. So here are some winter dandelions retrofitted into four very different meadows. 

glass blowing pumpkins

In October, I had the extreme pleasure of getting to blow glass at Through the Fire Studios in Columbia, Pa. It wasn't my first time, and I'm sure I look like a giddy 5 year old when I go, but it get to make pumpkins with molten glass!! Come on, you know you want to too. And if you're Central PA local, I HIGHLY recommend this activity in the winter.

I also had the extreme luck of my camera with me. So, here are some of my favorite pictures of the night.

And just to prove that yes, I did glass blow too. Here's one of me at the fire. I really didn't know my hair was still that blonde. (A special thank you to the friend who snapped the picture.)

I have the distinct gift of working in a very old building. And the best part has to be all the historic doors and knobs. There is a unique energy about them as they stand sentinel and silent - a stable reminder of the past in a place focused on futures. During a busy day they ground me when I look at them, and I remember today was yesterday and will be tomorrow, and just a little of the day's franticness goes away.

Lily Pads in Fall

The lilies in the pond are beginning their slow fade to white. Unlike in the hight of Summer, where their petals were a brilliant pink, they are fading away to white before my eyes. It is the first tell-tale sign of fall before my eyes. And while I'm excited for the coming pumpkins and autumn colors, I'll se sad to see these lilies go.

There is this lovely hidden world in a small grove just past the building where I work. You bend low to walk under an old weeping beech tree, well wrinkled with the names and years of students long since graduated, and once through its limbs you see a pond, glassy with calm and dancing with water lilies. Included are three wallpapers made from photos I took just as the light rain came in. Enjoy!

Alaska Three

This summer, I had the exhilarating experience of Alaska. I walked, I flew, I stood in muddy lake water - and I took some photos I can't stop looking at. So I thought I would share. The glacier landscape is of Portage Glacier at the Whitter tunnel stop. The birch root was taken at Red Shirt Lake, and the mountains with dock was taken at my Uncle's plane launch just outside of Anchorage.
