A sample from my Lexington Park Library Exhibit. (21677 FDR Blvd, Lexington Park, MD) Please go see my work.  It is open till August 14th.  Kids will enjoy it because there are lots of pets and animals.  At least one person at the reception said their favorite picture was DJ.  He is very sweet in his red bucket and available as a print and t-shirt from Zazzle.

Red Cardinals

One of my most popular prints and Holiday cards uses a photo of a cardinal in snow taken in January of 2010.  So, each time we have a snow fall during the day, I take my camera out, hoping to get another great shot of a red cardinal.  I finally got a shot with a nice glow after the snow storm this week, even though this time you can't see the ice crystals on his face. 

Cardinal After Snow

I liked this one too, but it doesn't have the extra glow.

Here is the cardinal in Snow that is popular as a Holiday card and as a print taken in 2010.  The first and last photos are available for sale on Zazzle.com.
