    Here are some additional photos I took while hiking with my husband at Red Rock Canyon, Nevada, in winter 2007.

    I love photography. When I was in elementary school, I took some courses at the Audubon Society on nature photography and was hooked. Years later, after my children were born, I started playing with the 35mm again, then got in the ease of digital. Someday -- once I have completed my MFA -- I hope to go back and take some courses on digital photography, get a really good camera, and start some serious picture taking. In the meantime, I try to get out whenever possible and experiment. Here are some images from a special autumn day I managed to sneak away and take a meditational hike along a trail in a nearby state forest. For the first time, I started to play with some of the settings instead of just a point-and-shoot approach.

I Did It!

A drum roll and a little bit of pomp and circumstance, please...!

I have received official word that my thesis has passed the scrutiny of the academic committee and I have graduated with my M.F.A. in Professional Writing!  This journey, which has taken the better part of the last three years and much sacrafice and patience from my family and friends, has culminated in a collection of twenty-three essays about my life as a 21st century working mother. 

I will be reading selected essays at the Western Connecticut State University Winter Literary Festival on Friday evening, January 4th at 7:30 p.m.  The event will take place in the Westside Campus Center Grand Ballroom on WestConn's Westside campus in Danbury, Connecticut.  I am honored to be featured along with my M.F.A. colleague Ron Samul, a truly gifted writer who will be reading from his thesis, a novel. Ron is also the founder and publisher of Miranda Literary Magazine.
