Bucket list item: Go on a hot air balloon ride. Status: Done! For anyone who may not be aware, this weekend is the annual Saratoga Balloon and Craft Festival, held at the Saratoga Co. Fairgrounds. Rather than “launching” into the many, many crafters and vendors who are participating all weekend, I would just suggest...

Saratoga Blossoms into Spring
To all you mothers out there…Happy Mother’s Day! Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be a very nice day outside (not at all, actually), so I thought now would be a good time to share some of the beauty I have been photographing the past couple of weeks as Saratoga shed the...
Easter’s Sky over Saratoga
I haven’t been sleeping well lately. I have no idea why this is. I’m normally a very early morning person anyway but, in recent weeks, hopping out of bed at 4:00 am, totally frustrated at my inability to fall back to sleep, has become something of the norm. This past Sunday, however, was Easter...
Beautiful N. Broadway…a Little Photo Tour on a Sunny January Afternoon
After a pretty significant string of gloomy, cloudy, snow/ice-filled days, it was a wonderful thing when the sun finally broke through the clouds on Thursday. Happily, I was downtown for work and my day was just ending as the skies brightened. I decided to take advantage of the slightly warmer temps (it approached 50...
While Most of Saratoga was Sleeping…
I WISH I could sleep in the mornings…particularly on the weekends…and most definitely past 5:30am. But I can’t. It doesn’t matter what time I go to bed or how exhausted I am, my internal clock starts singing well before the sun comes up. It’s crazy. But there’s something to be said for being up...
A Little Saratoga Holiday Sparkle to Close Out the Year

The Windows of Universal Preservation Hall
Happily, as part of my day job, I get to stop by and visit the beautiful Universal Preservation Hall on a weekly basis. This has become one of my favorite parts of my week. Not only do I get to...
Remembering 9/11…
Today marks the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Everyone knows this. Fifteen years later, everyone still grieves....
Touring the Saratoga Monument
I woke up on Saturday morning last weekend, kind of early again, and decided to head somewhere different for photos, but hadn't planned on anywhere in particular. Usually, I at least have an idea where I might be headed,...
Up, Up and Away…
I feel absolutely awful that it has been so long since my last post! I have so many things I want to blog about and so many photos to share. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed by all that I...
