Photos around Williamsburg as Elizabeth's Graduation Approaches!!

So yesterday was the last day of classes for our daughter, Elizabeth at the College of William and Mary. The last four years have really flown by. I'm sure over the next few weeks, I will be writing about her graduation and William and Mary. Today though I'd just like to show some of the photographs that my wife took on a trip down to the College. Now I am showing you the campus right now but rather some of the shots she took around the town this set focuses mainly on, what else animals.....

Now there are people who take pictures of horses, but Kathy captures the horse!


and the cow! Looks to me that she captures the essence of the animals!


a nice simple shot of a bird....again the bird seems to be watching her ..... what is that crazy lady doing??


Many times when she is not looking down, she's looking up at things that most of us don't even notice.... Or should I say, I don't even notice!!


Often making a simple shot look extraordinary!


Like I said I'll be posting other shots of the campus and Elizabeth over the next several weeks as we approach graduation day!!



While the following are not pictures Kathy took, they are related to William and Mary. The first picture is of the Wren Building. The building was the start of the College and is the oldest building in the US still used
for classes. Harvard is the oldest US college but their older buildings are not used as classrooms. According to tradition, when students enter the College they pass through the Wren building and meet the current students in the quad and sunken gardens in the center of the upper campus. When they graduate, they travel the other way through the building, and meet their parents, family and friends on the outside! On the last day of class, students graduating are given the opportunity to ring the bell in the Wren Building. Here's a picture of Elizabeth doing just that!



Congratulations to Elizabeth ans we'll see you soon!!

Remembrances of Winter and Two Cemetery Angels!

I received an email yesterday from a musician in Wisconsin. He said that it was 27 degrees out yesterday, so how about so winter shots from Kathy! The first one is a favorite I love the single water droplet!!


Another favorite as two birds share the feeder on a winter day!



One of Kathy's favorite subjects are angels at cemeteries. These two at Monument Cemetery are two of her favorites! I'm sure that I'll be posting many more shots from cemeteries!!

Spiders, Squirrels and Sunlight on the Water - Oh my!

If you watch my wife take pictures, many times she's bent over with the camera focused on something small. She can really capture the details of life, like these three shots of a spider and its victim!




Then of course there's the ubiquitous squirrels in the neighborhood - What me? I have no acorn!

Finally, there are times that she'll just take a picture that is magical, like this one of Delaware River at Amico Island!

Welcome and Kathy visits the Wetlands!


Welcome this is my first post and the blog is still under construction - the purpose of the blog is to showcase the great photography of my wife Kathy Karn!

Ok so I''ve been waling through wetlands for 30 years taking pictures for permits and not once did I create a Monet moment! My wife does it her first time out! This is part of the wetlands complex along Parker's Creek near Union Mill Road in Mount Laurel, NJ

Or how about this shot of the lowly Cattail!


See what you got in store for you!! Some great photos!
