I’m not a photographic purist. I just love taking photos. From the drips on a coffee cup to the textures in wood and beyond, I find it interesting.

The art of Quilting has contributed to helping a lot of children in our County.
I have a rather romantic take on life. The good times are carefully filtered through my bright rimmed glasses.

The Amish Buggy – Shipshewana
Kaye England and I were lucky enough to be able to take a trip in an Amish buggy with Mr Yoder. It was a rare experience and one I will never forget. He was a delightful man and he is so proud and matter of fact about his Amish life and Shipshewana.
