Some old, some new!

I thought I would add some earlier photographs from this year. These are some of my favorites. I hope you will like them as well. Let me know what you think! ~Antonia

"January Seagull"
( We took a drive to the coast early this year and not a stitch of snow to be seen either! This fellow didn't seem to mind, I think.)


"Locomotive Parts"
( Who doesn't love trains?! This is an antique located in Waterville, Maine for visitors to climb and... it's a great place for photo shoots too!)


"Winter Foot Bridge"
( This wonderful foot bridge is located in Skowhegan, Maine.)


" Horse Stall"
( I'm an old farm girl so I can't resist taking pictures that remind me of my childhood! Taken in the Spring.)




"God's Paintbrush"

Since summers are so short in Maine, I thought I'd share some lovely flowers from my garden. The Painted Daisies (the violet ones) are my favorite and I seem to have a photograph from every year they've bloomed. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do!







One must know that God is ever present when you look around and see this kind of beauty!
(I can't remember when the "Daisy" became my favorite flower...but shouldn't it be everyone's?) ~Antonia

2007 New England Forest Rally

The following Photographs were taken on Stage 9 (at Mid-point for Radio Communications) on the Middle Dam in Wilson Mills, Maine on Saturday, July 14th. We could not have asked for lovelier weather and the race was superb...as always! Enjoy!















Thank you for viewing my photos and, again, feel free to leave comments!

Rally Time!

For those of you who have never experienced the spectacular experience of Rally Car Racing... then it's time you did! I've been volunteering for three years with my husband, Chad, and it's gotten better and better with each passing year. Chad and our son, Joe, have been going each year for the past six years. Nagging me to go finally worked and I've been hooked ever since! We help by doing the Radio Communications along with many other volunteers without whom the rally could not exist. It's truly a well oiled wheel that allows these races to run so smoothly with the many souls who give of their time and expertise in order to support such a wonderful sport! Kudos to all those that participate! Bravo!...to the drivers and co-drivers who allow us to watch them do what they do best!
On the way to the Rally, we often stop to take photos of the passing scenery and these are a few I took this year close to the Bethel, Maine area. I'll post more later on....given time. I have a photo shoot this Sunday...so not sure if I'll have time. Enjoy and feel free to leave a comment. I enjoy hearing from you! ~Antonia
