This photo was taken in March 2013 in the Chinese Garden at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. Arriving from chilly New York, it was a very welcome taste of spring. Cherry blossoms may be seen in the background. I especially love the long shadows cast through the key-shaped Moongate (including that of the photographer snapping the photo).

This around the corner from where I live in Locust Valley. I knew tue was going to be a full moon ,but the weather forecast was going to be overcast.So I made this image on monday 12.16.13 Overlooking the Country club around the block. All year round the sun rising over this Golf Course is spectacular.
NOT made with a camera Phone, and with some PS enhancements.

I was in New Orleans with my husband and we got into our hotel room to find this guy hanging around outside the window. I believe dragon flues are good luck- needless to say we had an amazing time in the city.

Mallards, the Pool, Central Park, taken in late October, 2013. Foliage from some the Park's 80 acres of woodlands float in the water. Not only an essential sanctuary for human sanity amid the bustling city, the Park was designated an Important Bird Area in 1998 by the Audubon Society. It shelters thousands of birds of 275 species during the year and in an era of vast human development is an important reminder that habitat enriches our human experience also can let other species thrive, even in an almost entirely artificial, built environment.

When I took this photo I was sitting in my seat in photography class and saw a sign that read, "We know what is good for you." I don't like what the sign says, so I took a photo of it so that I can look back at it and try to figure out its true meaning. I like the emptiness of the photo (empty chair, empty class room).

While I love NYC to death, sometimes I just need to get away. Far away. This is a picture of my beautiful fiancé in a Catskills community called the Slovak Country Club - one of our favorite places to escape to. It was a candid moment after an autumn hike and I love how it turned out.

This is from a junkyard in Egg Harbor, NJ. The property is strewn with hundreds of cars from the 40's to the 70's. It is beautiful and a bit sad to see them melting in to the landscape.

I take the 7 train on my way home each day. Despite the 100's of times I've seen it, I'm always staring out the window trying to grab a beautiful shot of my city commute. This time, the sun was just right. You could really feel the sweltering July heat as we passed by Silvercup Studios in Long Island City. I don't take pictures of that sign anymore, since this one will always be my favorite.

Reenactment of the Battle of Ft. Lee, which was fought during the American Revolution. George Washington evaded capture, lived to fight another day. The battle is remembered each year at Fort Lee Historical Park. This photo was taken on November 23, 2013.

I was walking east on 53rd Street towards MOMA on a cold and clear winter evening. It seemed to be a quintessential New York City image. Pure magic!

This flag is on a fishing pier in Ventnor, NJ where I was walking yesterday. Who can resist snapping a shot of a smiley face...flag. Also, my yoga teacher encourages us to approach difficult postures "...with a happy smiling face". I think of him every time I see a smiley face.

I first photographed the library lions when I was 15, over 50 years ago. In those days, it was black and white all the way.
Now, color is the default mode and the wreaths on the lions have never been bigger. A fitting close to the Bloomberg administration.

Taken in my backyard in Westport, CT a few days ago. I like its featurelessness. The way the light plays with the shapes speaks of the serenity to be found ubiquitously in Nature.

Riverdale New York acroos the stree from the Skyview shopping center.
It looked to me like a piece of New York you won't see much longer.

It was taken at the Bedord Middle School sports fields in Westport, CT. It is where people walk there dogs. I took it because it looked like the road to a new life.

This is a photo of my dear friend Craig. We were sitting in a gazebo, chatting and enjoying the lush landscaping at my building in center city Philadelphia. As we were talking, I noticed that leaves were making shadows on his face, reminiscent of a tattoo or tribal markings. I loved the idea, at the moment, of the temporary beauty of these facial leaf shadows ...which I made permanent by taking this photo.
