A Visit from St. Nicholas

A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore (a little fun for the holidays with this great holiday classic) Merry Christmas, everyone! You all know the poem, but I added a variety of my own illustrations to this blog for fun. One day I would like to illustrate the entire poem in the mannerContinue reading "A Visit from St. Nicholas"

Lehigh County – when the levee breaks…

There was no levee. I only liked the sound of it as a title, while the Led Zeppelin song played in my head.

Lehigh County – Roadside Ferns

I have decided to add to my regular blogging with an active photographic journal of my little section of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. I want to share the beauty and history of this place where I have been fortunate enough to reside for almost twenty years. I will even venture a little beyond Lehigh's boundaries (photographically, I mean) to nearby areas where otherContinue reading "Lehigh County – Roadside Ferns"
