2020 Planetary Conjunction

We enjoyed watching the beautiful 2020 planetary conjunction last night. Saturn and Jupiter were as close as they’ve been in 800 years. It was amazing to think that Galileo was alive the last time this happened, and that this supernatural event might be the original of the original “Christmas star.” Walking just up our street to a nearby vista point, I decided to shoot the Great Conjunction in context of all that was going on around us… the dusky sky, the […]

Placer Artists Studio Tour

Last month, I had a great time hosting a Placer Studio Artists Tour booth! Shannon & Bob McClurg at Grizzly Gallery in Penryn kindly invited me to be one of their guest artists. (As a photographer, I donʻt have a studio per say, as painters and woodworkers do.) In 1994, Helen W. Phillips founded this event. The tour provides visitors with the opportunity to experience the wonder of art being created. This annual tour is Placer County’s largest artist event, with […]

Exploring Stockholm, City of Islands

Stockholm was the next stop on our Baltic adventure. I had no idea that the city was comprised of so many beautiful islands. We started our day by taking a taxi to Skansen, which advertises itself as the world’s largest outdoor museum. The lovely, hilly site features authentic traditional Swedish buildings, gardens, handicrafts, foods, and wonderful views. Next, we took a ferry to Gamla Stan, the well-preserved, cobblestoned old town. Wandering the streets is a pleasure! There are loads of […]

Copenhagen, a Royal City

How lovely we found Copenhagen! Stopping in at the ports of Copenhagen, Stockholm and Helsinki last fall, we were delighted by the beautiful, efficient, stylish and understated culture we found. Our first Scandinavian stop on our Baltic Heritage tour with Princess Cruises was Copenhagen, Denmark. My sister-in-law was Danish and I had so longed to travel to the homeland that produced such a beautiful person, the closest to a saint I’ve ever known. What I noticed first were the bicycles! […]

First Place!

I was honored to receive first place in photography at the recent Elk Grove Fine Art Center Annual Open Juried Competition. My image, “Dual Citizen” was an image that I took when in British Columbia last year. I printed it on Moab’s gorgeous art paper, and matted and framed it myself. My artist’s statement is as follows: Chris’ immediate family moved to L.A. from Edmonton, Alberta in 1980.  Because the rest of her family remains in Canada, she has spent […]

Charming Bruges

As part of our fall 2019 Baltic Cruise, we had a day to explore charming Bruges. Medieval Bruges is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish region of Belgium. It is in the northwest of the county, and we docked at Zeebrugge. The port bus took us the quick trip to the train station. We didn’t have any luck at the ticket machine, but a quick trip inside to the counter at the […]
