My husband and I were at Lyman Orchards, a 1,500-acre farm with hills of orchards, a farm market and bake shop, 3 golf courses and restaurant. The prettiest spot is at the top of the hills where we were as you can look down on acres of colorful orchards or look up and view 360 …

I was on assignment to photograph a Sunday church service for a friend who was a reverend in Hartford, CT. The building had previously been a small pharmacy that was converted into a community church. It was summer, and the Sunday service lasted much of the day. The congregation was so welcoming and full of …

This image was taken last October in Lancaster, PA, home to thousands of Amish families. I was sitting on the fence about going as I was told that they did not like their photo taken, and the farm roads were narrow with no room to pull over to take photos. But I decided to go …

Today, Seward is a thriving coastal town and Alaska’s only year-round, ice-free seaport. The harbor offers plenty of choices to explore its beauty with charter, fishing, diving, wildlife tours and pleasure boats, even kayaks. It is also a favorite port for cruise ships whose passengers often take a train or bus north along scenic Highway …

Spirit, a winning thoroughbred, hurt his leg and couldn’t race anymore. Being only 7 years old, he had a long life ahead of him. His owners, rather than put him down as is the dire fate for many of these beautiful animals, instead gave him to a horse farm refuge where he could comfortably live …
