My Picture Subjects & Places 

 My home and immediate surroundings, situated in a little town by the name of Elderton, Pa. We are a rural community in between 2 modest size cities, Kittanning and Indiana, PA. We have a nice little dam (Keystone Lake) a couple miles down the road and some excellent trout streams close by. This is Southwestern Pa. and we are engulfed by hills. No flat land around here!

 We have a camp we love to go to in Potter County located on the extreme northern border, central Pennsylvania..... Shinglehouse, Pa.  It is my husband's Grandmothers camp. Fishing and hunting is awesome there and they are our year-round outdoor activities. 

My brother has a cottage in the Thousand Islands on the St. Lawrence Seaway near Cape Vincent, N.Y. Never hunted there but the fishing is outstanding there, also.

My home town is on Lake Ontario, Rochester, N.Y. More great fishing, are you getting the picture, yet? We are "Water People", we can't live anywhere without becoming connected to aqua. 

My favorite vacation spot of all is anywhere in the Adirondack Mountains, New York. Good fishing and lots of water and scenery that just blows your mind.

My oldest son, Jeff, is a wildlife biologist and he lives in Alaska. My youngest son, Toby, travels up every summer for a vacation with Jeff. They hike, canoe, kayak, fish and camp in Alaska, and the Yukon in Canada. Jeff is an expert photographer. I will dedicate one page to Alaska and Canada, photos from Jeff or Toby and friends who have vacationed there. And in case you're wondering why I don't have Alaska pictures of my own to share, I haven't made it up there yet. I will, some day.

 My husband, Frank, a welder for a power plant. Frank also has a "thing" for computers, he likes to read about the newest technology and figure out how it works. He is my "technical advisor". :) And, of course, hunting and fishing take up a lot of his spare time.

I am a cat lover. I have 5 cats living full time with us.  We also have a Beagle.
 I work in a restaurant part time.

 I love all things that spring up from the ground and all wildlife so you'll see a lot of flowers, fur and feathers.

The pages will be a little slow to load first time because each one has so many pictures. To speed up the download time I compressed the pictures so much it hurt my artistic ego. I hope they don't look too grainy. (depending on your video card / monitor / display settings) You should see the difference in quality between the older picts, "Floppy Disk/Photo Lab" and the most recent picts taken with the Kodak DC 290.  These pages can be viewed best if your screen area is set to 800 x 600.
