There is something about a stormy sea that feels strangely familiar to me.
I know what it is to have life rise like these waves, powerful, unpredictable, and frightening. Maybe that is why I can stand before a restless ocean and still see beauty.
I’ve learned that a storm doesn’t mean God has left.
I see Him in the strength of the waves, in the light slipping through the clouds, and in the wild beauty that refuses to be still.
Maybe that is why I find such peace here. I have stood in rough waters before, and through every storm, I was still held by His hands.

There’s a nor’easter churning just offshore of Brigantine, and while the ocean is anything but quiet, somehow, I am.
There’s something about standing at the water’s edge, camera in hand, watching the waves rise, curl, and crash back into the sea. The power is incredible, yet capturing it brings me such peace.
Maybe beauty isn’t always found in calm waters. Sometimes it’s hidden in the wild ones too.
I hope through my lens, you can see a little of what I see... the beauty tucked inside the storm.

Longwood Gardens never disappoints. So many beautiful flowers every time I go. It seems as if there is always something new, for I never see the same thing twice. We walked for 5 1/2 hours searching out the perfect spots. Here is a few more from my recent visit. Let me know what your favorite is!!!

A Second Chance 🐾
I had the pleasure of visiting Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge and photographing some of the amazing animals in their care.
These animals have been injured, orphaned, or are simply unable to survive in the wild. What they do at Cedar Run is truly special — providing care, compassion, and a safe place for animals who need a second chance.
And let’s be honest… they also have plenty of personality! 🦊🦉🦌
Cedar Run is a not-for-profit organization, and they depend on donations to continue this important work. But... not only do they offer care for these lovely animals, they also run a fantastic program for kids to enjoy as well !!!
❤️ If you’d like to help, please consider making a donation or sharing their mission with others. Every little bit helps provide food, medical care, and a safe home for these wonderful animals.

I just love when I get new toys to play with. I must say that my new camera has taken me into a closer look at everything!!! These may be the last flowers I photograph this summer, but most certainly they are the beginning of a new adventure in photographing!!!

🏈 **Football season is here… and apparently so is BOUQUET SEASON!** 💐😂

There was blocking.
There was reaching.
There may have been a questionable tackle. 🤣

Forget the end zone. These girls had **ONE goal: GET. THAT. BOUQUET.**

Luckily, I was on the sidelines with my camera to capture the whole play! 📸

🏈💐 **Football has nothing on a bouquet toss. May the best bridesmaid win!**
