Never pass up a chance to take candid shots. More times than not, you'll find a sparkling gem among them, as I did here.

Special thanks to Melanie Thompson for allowing me to post this image of her at a recent Governor's banquet reception.

Stopped by Lums Pond this afternoon. The sun was shining bright and the wind was brisk. What leaves weren't on the ground already were coming down across the road like a late January snowfall.

Beep! Beep!

How can you not love this guy? Every time I see him somewhere I make the "beep beep" noise out loud and embarass myself.

Saturation Sunday

Something just appealed to me about the bold, saturated colors.

A little while ago, I had the opportunity to create a headshot for a very talented artist, Susan Hanselman. Susan, of Kentucky, is in Delaware regularly and working on an extensive series of religous wall murals. Her talents are well displayed on the canvas of life.

If you'd like to get in touch with Susan, drop me an email . Her biography follows:

Notes on the Artist:

Susan Hanselman discovered her love of painting somewhat later in life, after following her husband’s career to many places and raising her two children. Growing up in suburban New York, she was the third daughter of five girls. The family spent numerous summers in New England at the shore, where they were reacquainted with friends year after year. It is from all of these fond memories that she draws much of the inspiration for her paintings, drawings murals and portraits.

She is the proud parent of James, who currently serves in the U S Air Force and of her daughter Beth and son-in-law, Michael, who recently welcomed their firstborn, Nicholas. He will likely provide material for her future endeavors. She currently resides in Richmond, Kentucky with her husband, Fred.

I really hate to see summer go. Although I enjoy autumn with its colorful leaves, nice breezes, sunny days and cool nights, there is something I'll miss about the 92 percent humidity, my every other week sunburned bald head, beach traffic ... okay, I just talked myself out of it. Goodbye summer, hello fall!

Had an enjoyable afternoon at one of my summer rituals, a car show. This one was held at the ChesDel Restaurant on Route 13 at Port Penn Road in Saint Georges, DE. They had a really good turn out with cars and people. Saw good friend Will Norris and his family there, proudly displaying their vehicles.
