Ripley's Believe it or...not


My youngest son was really amazed by this robot as we were strolling on the boardwalk. Needless to say we had to go in to get a better look. OC Maryland

Footprints in the sand

This is of my oldest son, the ocean and his footprints in the sand. Photo is O.C. -M.D.

This is a wild pony???

This photo is of my son trying to lure a "Wild Pony" over to him at Assauteaqe Bay, other wise known as "Pony Island". This place was amazing. You can camp here, go off roading with proper gear, and walk the dunes and the beach. The boys had an amazing time.

My son viewing the Ocean


I really love it when the kids are not posing, and you get a great picture like this with natures beauty in the background.

A Horseshoe crap trying to get back to the Ocean

I had to help this big guy back into the ocean before he dried up in the sun.

The beach in Ocean City

Ocean City Maryland the calm before the storm.

A beautiful sunset.



This photo was taken just outside Ocean City, Maryland. Taken from my hotel balcony window.

As the sun in setting on Cauyga Lake

I took this photo from our boat as we were cruising back from the Taughannack State Park after picnicing with friends. I love taking photos from the boat. I have yet to take some really incrediable pictures of the sailboats. Maybe this summer.

Picking up seashells along the beach


Summer is a fun time, especially if you're a kid. This is a photo of my son taken in the summer of 2004 as he scouts the shore for shells, fossils, and soft washed glass.

A Country Farm

I was taking a drive to my sister's house along the country side, and came up upon this farm. I thought it was a nice setting with the fields and snow.

In the Spirit of things


I took this photo at a friend's house over the holidays. I thought this picture of her outdoor decorations was a very festive idea for this site. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

Well...I guess you could say...How Redneck......

My family and I went to are local mall, and it was funny because my Aunt from Florida was making a comment the day to me about how
redneck New Yorkers are. Well I guess she's right. Only in New York can you find a snowman on the back of a Ford truck in a mall parking lot with sunglasses and a glass beer bottle nose.

Mid winters storm

I captured this photo of a winter storm rolling in over my neighbors house. I hope he doesn't mind that I took this photo. However I tried to capture the sunshining in his lawn, as the storm is coming in behind his house. Actually as bad as the sky looked, it kind of just blew over.

Winter storm just brewing.


This is how the sky looked at about 3pm on Saturday, January 21, 2006. It rained a little, it snowed a little, and the sun came out a little. It started out at 54 degrees fahrenheit. It qiuckly dropped as the wind picked up. Then temperature dropped to 43, then by around 7:30pm it dropped down in the 30's again. I can't complain it's been a very mild winter!

Winter near Cayuga Lake, New York

This photo was taken from the car coming back from Ithaca. It is of Cayuga Lake and the trees. For being in motion with a digital camera I didn't think this photo came out too bad. The lake was very choppy on this day.

Another Holiday


Valentine's Day


Another fun holiday. Holidays are what you make them, you can either be a scrooge or you can make them fun. I think even after my kids are grown up and out of the house, holiday decorating will always be a big part of my life. Valentine's Day is big in my house I always leave out a few gifts for each family member from "Cupid" on the dinning room table. The boys really enjoy the holidays at our house because they are so special. They will remember the memories for years to come. Hopefully they will carry out a few traditions I have shared with them.

The Barenaked Tree of Winter

I took this picture of a winter tree in my back lawn. Winter is the time of year where everything seems to be lifeless and grey. A time where the whole world seems to be asleep. It's the quiet time of year. How I long for springs birth of all new things, and the sites and sounds of life again.

In this picture the sun was shining for a change, that doesn't happen very often in our New York winters. So as much as I complain about winter this was a beautiful sunshiney day.
