My family had been raving about Harpers Ferry for a couple years, and I finally had the time to check it out on a recent East Coast visit. Everything was perfect. The drive through the rolling hills of Maryland was beautiful. The information center with the nerdy Civil War buffs made me giggle. The Shenandoah River made me want to sing songs. I was in awe of the Appalachian Trail thru-hiker that wandered up the main street. I learned about American history. I found a cute hot pink and orange scarf. My mom and I went on our own little AT hike complete with designer handbags. West Virginia is no longer the sinister state that it once was. I had the perfect day and I can’t wait to visit again.
I was honored to photograph this group of folks who were playing music on a Saturday night at the St. Julien in Boulder, Colorado. The group consistently plays the St. Julien and is comprised of the talented Phil, his son, and several friends. With the younger ones heading off to college, the appearances at the St. Julien will become rarer, so I was there to document the special night. When the son’s high school music teacher (as well as a teacher to several other present musicians) got up to play with the group, I got goosebumps. To see the enthusiasm of the musicians, to hear their talent….I would like to thank the teacher for the wonderful, important job that he has. It was a great night to hang at the St. Julien.
This has been a spring and summer full of trips. Ever since April, I have been on the go: 10 days in the Caribbean for my honeymoon, 7 days in New York, 9 days in Maryland and Delaware. Next up is New York for another week, then Oregon, and then probably North Carolina. Phew! I love that I am fortunate to get to travel, visit with loved ones, and take photographs along the way. I am also discovering that I love being home just as much, enjoying photographing weddings, people, pets and partaking in summer activities like sailing, long walks with my dog, and swimming in my in-laws pool. And not to mention how good it feels in our den with the AC cranked and a blanket on while my husband and I watch True Blood marathons.
Although I attended one of the top sailing colleges in the country (as I always love to rub into my husband on the rare occasion we rent a Sunfish), I am not a great sailor. In fact, I am hardly a sailor at all, but that doesn’t stop me from dreaming of my future boat and trips to the Caribbean. There is nothing like blue skies, hot sun, and leaning way out over the water on a little sailboat. Thanks to Ray and friends for getting me out there.
Rob and I headed to my favorite place in the world, St. John USVI. Since I’ve been there a couple times already, we also visited Tortola BVI too. We enjoyed reading books, not using our smart phones or laptops, swimming, hearing the ocean, and driving around the islands on the left-hand side of the road while blaring Rihanna’s “We Found Love.” I finally made it to Tortola’s famous Bomba Shack, and we made friends with another shack owner, Nature Boy. We saw wildlife and animals roaming freely on the islands: donkeys, goats, chickens, huge iguanas, little lizards, hermit crabs, sea turtles.
