Our trip to the Outer Banks this summer afforded me some wonderful opportunities to photograph the area.  We want to go back and stay on this wonderfully picturesque island.

"Big Creek"

James took several photographs during his fishing trip with Mike during this past summer in Haywood County, North Carolina.  The water was cold, the fish uncooperative but the creek was lush, fast flowing and splendid.  I need a better camera to capture the detail.  Painted Fall 2007

Photographer Annelies Gentiles sent me this photo from the Italian coast line, Cinque Terra and the town of Manarola.

Over the Swiss Alps

In the plane from Zurich to Berlin we flew over the Swiss Alps. This view seemed to go on for miles and miles it was breath taking, with the low hanging clouds shrouding the river. Painted spring 2007

I copied this photograph out of the newspaper - I loved the action, passion and color, the scrappy newspaper picture can be seen in my portfolio - it's too mangled to scan and due justice to the photographer. Painted summer 2007
