Back when...in what seems like a liketime ago, I was a Plant Engineer, in my first job out of college. I learned so much about business and pricing and "industrial engineering" in a garment cutting and sewing plant in Vass, NC. Whisper Knits. I had graduated from N.C. State school, moved back in with Mama and Daddy in Rockingham and commutted to Vass to work at .

Bill Cox, VP hired me and Joe Waterson, the plant manager, mentored me. Hayward Morgan, the Owner, eventually trusted me to cost the production. The line supervisors (Joella, Mary, Linda ...and I can not remember the name of the man over cutting... was it Clyde?) "schooled me". But, Ila Ross, the Trainer, taught me all the things I really needed to know. They were all the salt of the earth type of people. They held my hand and propped me up when my new husband went off to the Gulf War and celebrated with me when he came home. I still love, appreciate, and fondly remember every one of them.

Fast forward 35ish years. I find myself in midtown Manhatten, in town for a Photography Expo ( ) , admiring this artwork on 39th Street, "Needle Threading a Button" , the first permanent art installation in the . In a flash I remember studying (timestudy) the Whisper Knits button sewers and the inspectors clipping those threads off the buttons, and the trip to New York to meet with the Ralph Lauren Designers, and the deadlines getting the samples finished and ready for shipment, and that run-in with the North Carolina Highway Patrolman who very politely slowed me down when I was literally racing to the Moore County Airport to meet the plane that would fly those samples back to New York. I still have the perfume given to me as a Thank You from the RL Rep for getting those samples finished and shipped in time.

I've lost touch with the people, but the memories are vivid and cherished and sewn into this button on 39th Street in New York.

Introducing "Reflections Under The Oceana Fishing Pier".

Every "Under the Pier" shot becomes my favorite. This is one of my newest efforts. We were in Atlantic Beach, NC last week for a family wedding. Every day at the beach is a great day at the beach, even when some of those days are rainy or windy. Sunday morning though was a perfect morning to kick off my flipflops and go out to the beach at sunrise.

I love the reflection of the pier in the wet sand. A metal print or an art print on Metallic Paper would probably have you checking the water to see if it's real :)

My daughter ran her FIRST (she's motivated, so not the last) half marathon this past weekend in Kitty Hawk, NC. She asked us to join them there to help out with the grandbaby and cheer her on.

Of course we did!

But when she asked her Mom (the photographer) to come along, what else would she expect but a LOT of photographs. Here's a few favorites.

This precious grand of mine has no fear. Buckle up Emily and Zane, this is going to be an exciting ride 💙

It wasn't West Virginia, but it was "Almost Heaven". The road was taking us home from Wintergreen, Virginia in October where we stopped to enjoy the view.

Each of us is given a unique talent. I'm not sure the value of this one, but who am I to judge. I met this talented calf somewhere near Fairfield, NC Sunday evening on my way home from Swan Quarter.

I was hoping to spy some interesting wildlife down around Mattamuskeet and the Alligator River area. This was as wild as it got.
