Last weekend provided the special treat of spending some time with Michael and Rachel at one of Kentucky's most spectacular natural treasures: Red River Gorge. And the fresh snowfall on the ground was literally the prettiest icing on our landscape. Rachel and Michael were great sports, climbing up and down trails and sitting in cold snow on even colder rocks as I asked. I believe sign language was even employed at one point when I couldn't shout over the roar of flowing water. (I can't imagine how that looked!) And it all was fun (at least for me -- I was able to dress in multiple layers, probably resembling the abominable snowman because after all, I wasn't the one being photographed). If they were cold, they never complained! But enough writing... here's a sampling of my favorites:

Last weekend I had the special treat of a quick trip to Washington DC and Annapolis. I visited with my college friend and fellow photographer, Jan Graves, and together we attended a workshop led by my favorite wedding photographer, Susan Stripling.

Yesterday I was reading the most recent issue of Rangefinder and learned an unofficial term which I think would apply to the image above: lovescape
