Every fall my family and I camp along this lake at Stone Mountain Park in Georgia. We go to see the leaves change colors, climb the mighty "stone," watch the patriotic laser show, ride the hay-filled scenic train, play Frisbee on the green lawn facing the mountain's gigantic carving of the confederate memorial and roast marshmallows around the fire. The air is always crisp, cool and breezy. Music from the grand Carillon Bells rings throughout the park. Crew teams row through the foggy waters chanting rhythmically. I look forward to visiting the park every year to photograph its beauty and be with my ever-growing family.

This is my beautiful cat, Gypsy. I've had her since she was abandoned at about a week old. A neighbor kid brought her over asking me to help her. So, we went on the internet and learned to mix a homemade formula of sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup and egg yolk, and bottle-feed her. Then we made her a home in an incubated box for a few nights. We wiped her bottom with warm wet paper towels to make her go potty! A vet took care of her dehydration, fixed her and gave her shots. And, I would have that very same neighbor kid, Ryan, come by my house while I was working so he could feed and love Gypsy until she was old enough to be left alone. Now she is about a year and a half. She teases the dogs next door, drinks out of my water glass (and the toilet), sleeps in my drawers, runs into the street and sheds cat hair all over the place!
She also licks me profusely, purrs lou ...

Turks and Caicos by Erica Brough |

I took this picture while island-hopping in the Turks and Caicos Islands (part of the British West Indies). I came to the Turks in the most spontaneous way possible. I was taking pictures at the Dunnellon airport and some people were fueling up their Cessna. I asked where they were headed, and they responded in unison, "Turks and Caicos. Wanna go?" I said yes, and so off I went! This is Brett, the pilot of the plane I was photographing. So I spent the weekend with complete strangers on one of the world's top 10 beaches, Grace Bay on Providenciales Island (known as Provo). Some would call me crazy, but I just call myself lucky!

Spring Feet by Erica Brough |

This is one of about 100 photos I have taken of my feet. No, I do not have a foot fetish! This is just all I can see of myself when looking through the camera lens. I often want to have my picture taken at various memorable locations, however, as the photographer, I usually just get a shot of my feet at these places. Here my feet are happily resting on an oak tree that leans over the boils at Juniper Springs in the Ocala National Forest. Pretty water, lovely oak, happy feet.

I believe I took this picture along CR 475 in south Ocala as I was on my way to the Florida Horse Park. I thought the barn had some charm, so I pulled off the road and began shooting. The homeowner came out and allowed me on the property so that I could get closer. I pulled out some of the color saturation and used a "glow" filter to get the finished image.

I found a spider web decorating my front hedge this morning as I walk to pickup my Star-Banner newspaper at my curb. I didn’t find any spiders or other insects trapped in the web, so I did the next thing possible.
Simply stepping in front of the web and pointing the camera at myself made a self-portrait. I really could not see what I was photographing. I took several photos just to get it right, or good enough!

.jpg) Oh Natural Beauty! What photographer can resist a beautiful sky, river or tree. This time: beautiful eyes! These sisters, Natalie Humber, 14, and Jasena Humber, 10, share such pretty eye color, and smiles, for that matter. I was on an assignment to shoot the Art Van Go art program for kids at the Baseline Trailhead Park in Ocala, Fla. on Saturday, January 5, 2008 when I saw these gorgeous sisters of Caucasian and Jamaican ethnicity.

Today I made a visit to Alberta Tindal, age 92, of Ocala. Her neighbors guided me to her home and right to her door. She uses a walker as she makes her way from the kitchen to the living room. Tindal is in need of several repairs on her home and is seeking help through Community With A Heart. The kitchen counter and cabinets need to be repaired or replaced, Friday afternoon, Jan. 4, 2008.

Work Horse by Erica Brough |

This was a common scene in Nicaragua. The poor horses work every bit as hard as the Nicaraguans do. I thought I felt sorry for the horse, until I saw the same type of carts actually being pulled by a single individual. Not everyone who owns a cart owns a horse. I have always liked this image because it is so simple. Walking through the streets of Jinotepe, in the Carazo region of Nicaragua, it's as though time has stood still.
