God, Family and Church

| Chapel of the Cross Lutheran Church |
God has blessed me with a wonderful husband, two great children and their spouses and four wonderful granddaughters. For this I am grateful.
I also belong to a church family that has many wonderful supportive members. They are true blessings.
Photography
I enjoy taking photographs and honing my photography skills. I belong to a photography club that gives me opportunities to learn more about my hobby and also provides the opportunity for field trips around the area.

Nature Photography
I enjoy taking photos of nature, but I am particularly grateful for all the opportunities to take nature photography in my own back yard. Here are a few of my favorites from the past year.
Lighthouse Photography
Over the past 12 years since my retirement, I have enjoyed photographing lighthouses and have photographed over 150 in that time period. This year I am thankful for the lighthouses I was able to photograph on the east coast.
Photography Near my Home
I live in the St. Louis metro area and have some wonderful opportunities for photography near my home. Here are a few from the past year.

Sunrise and Sunsets
I find the variety in sunrises and sunsets to be amazing. I love photographing them at all different times and different weather conditions The first photo here is a sunrise in Jupiter, Florida and the second is a sunset in Cape Cod Massachusetts.
