Your Bio

My home is in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, northeast of Philadelphia, and I am retired after working 37 years in public education. I resumed my passion for photography when I purchased my first digital SLR camera for Christmas 2005. I was introduced to SmugMug by another Bucks County photographer, Hillary Yasmer Shemin.

Lark Photography was born one day when I reported for a Labrador Retriever photo shoot, knocked on the owner's door, and on a whim, announced myself by that name. Lark was my 16.3 hand anglo-Trakehner dressage mare (in picture), and the Labrador owner boarded her for me at her farm.

I particularly love nature and landscape photography, but also enjoy shooting horses, pets, and children. A personal goal is to increase diversity in my subject matter.

I am available for casual photo shoots.

I hope you enjoy my galleries. Comments are always welcome, and I would appreciate your click on "thumbs up" for any photographs that you feel are worthy. Please continue to visit my galleries as I am always uploading new photographs.
Thank you so much.

Apr. 16, 2010 -- The Azaleas are fascinating. The stamens and pistil seemed to be dipped in silver. I made a discovery yesterday while I was photographing Azalea blooms -- that not all are the same. I just assumed that if the colors were different the flower would still be the same.

Thank you to all who have left comments. I am grateful for the time you take. Happy Friday!

July 27 -- Today is my birthday so I am posting a colorful POTD.
"Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you." ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

Note to myself: This photo ranked number 2 as POTD on July 27, 2010

June 22, 2012 -- HEIDI AT 5 MONTHS
InLak'ech is a Mayan greeting which basically means "I am another yourself."
The CGC after her name is the AKC Canine Good Citizen title which Heidi earned this week at the age of 5 months and 8 days. It's pretty amazing that she earned the title at such a young age.
Happy Friday!

May 2, 2012 -- HEIDI (about 14 weeks)
Being a Labrador Retriever puppy, everything goes into the mouth! I thought she looked a little guilty here!
Thank you for all your comments. I've been enjoying all your photos and processing.
Forgive me for not commenting yesterday. Just a bit overwhelmed with all the work surrounding the therapy dog fund-raising event this Sunday.

Feb. 20 -- PUPTRAIT
This little pup explored the logs and got sawdust all over his face and paws. . . and then promptly fell asleep with his head on the log.

April 16 -- FEMALE HEPATIC TANAGER -- Belize

Jan 9 2011 -- ME PORTRAIT BUT NOT SELF
I'm so sorry that I forgot to take a self portrait, and my old ones were not good enough to post today. But I did want to join in with sharing faces so hope that this is acceptable. My friend is a puppy from a litter belonging to Wendi who has been a subject of some of my POTD's.

May 22 2011 -- BEGONIA
A bloom from a hanging pot of Begonias I planted.
Thank you for all your comments on yesterday's shot of Hannah at work.

Apr. 23 -- A different angle on the Dandelion
Yesterday's photo was one of those dried, spiked seed balls that are dropped by a tree I am not able to identify. MaryAnn (fotomom) identified it as a Sweet Gum ball.
Happy Friday Everyone!

Apr. 25 -- Yesterday I wanted to experiment and see if I could get just a few or even one starburst of a dandelion going to seed. When I uploaded the images to my computer I discovered that a few showed rainbow iridescence. This is best viewed in the larger sizes.

Enjoyed all your comments yesterday on the tulip petal. Thank you!

April 22, 2012 -- PARROT TULIP
Happy Earth Day -- Celebrate the beauty of Nature!

Apr 15 2011 -- ABANDONED (HDR)
Yesterday I found a great place to photograph -- the RR station in Wycombe that is one of the stops on the famous New Hope-Ivyland line which is still running. I saw these old RR cars that were extremely rusted out, and I thought immediately that they would lend themselves well to HDR images. Unfortunately I'd forgotten my tripod, but I managed to get 3 decent hand held images, and Photomatix did the rest.
Thank you for all your comments on yesterday's beautiful ranunculus bloom. It was gorgeous, and my camera couldn't resist!
HAPPY TAX DAY!

June 5 2011 -- MARIGOLD

May 19 -- MY NEW TOY

Apr. 29 -- Columbine from Larkphoto

Memo to myself: This photo ranked number one on April 29th.

May 2 2011 -- SOFTLY PINK
The light was gorgeous while I was shooting my neighbor's dogwood.
Thank you so much for your comments over the last few days.
Have a great week!

July 17 2011 --AMARYLLIS

June 7 -- One more from the shoot
Some puppies are natural and do not have to be posed -- like this little guy.

Aug. 7 -- I was walking last evening when I saw this flock of Canada Geese at the crest of the hill against the sunset.

Thank you for all your comments on yesterday's chicory macro. Gave me a whole different feeling and perspective on the photograph.

Mar 30 2011 -- GLENCAIRN MUSEUM, Bryn Athyn, PA. (HDR)
I've posted a photo of this museum before, but this is my first HDR attempt.
Definitely worth taking a peek in the larger sizes.
Thank you for all your enthusiastic comments on yesterday's creek scene.
Hope you enjoy this one too.

July 30, 2012 -- PENSIVE HEIDI (6 1/2 months)
Thank you for all your good birthday wishes and for the comments on the scanned photo. I am guessing that I was about 4 years old. No, I do not have the doll. I'm thinking that it may have been a photographer's prop because i do not recall that doll.

April 19 -- HARPY EAGLE -- Belize Zoo
I photographed this magnificent bird at eye level through a mesh fence and was thrilled that I was able to get the clarity I did.

Harpy eagles are the largest and most powerful eagle in the world. They inhabit the tropical forests of Central and South American, ranging from Southern Mexico to Argentina. The female Harpy averages three and a half feet in length and weighs about twenty pounds. Her wingspan is about six and a half feet. Typically, the male is about one third smaller than the female.
Being a predator, the Harpy's diet consists of mostly monkeys and sloths, which live high in the canopy. Their talons can be up to five inches long. A female can kill prey weighing twenty pounds, but has to tear it apart to transport it.
Harpy eagles reproduce every three years. The four to five feet in diameter nest of a Harpy is usually built in a tall tree, about 150 to 225 feet above the ground. Typically, two eggs are laid, but only one eaglet will be raised. The incubation cycle is about eight weeks. The male brings food for them and their eaglet. It will be another six months before the eaglet is able to leave the nest, but remains near the nest for about a year. Harpy eagles will not abandon their nest or young as other eagles sometimes do. Instead, they will attack intruders.

Thank you for your comments on my cast iron lantern yesterday. Yes, the original photo was just a shot of a lantern on a wall of an old building. The PP changes it from an ordinary shot into something more interesting.

July 20 -- TIGER SWALLOWTAIL
I finally got to photograph in the Cutting Garden at our local orchard. There were butterflies all over. I hope to be able to return and shoot with my macro lens. This is one of several that I liked.
Thank you for your wonderful comments on yesterday's sunflower, also taken in the Cutting Garden. My life is going to be returning to a more normal state, and I am hoping to be able to get back to more faithful commenting.

OCT 1 -- GOURDS (SOOC)
A pretty arrangement to welcome October!
It will soon be one year that I celebrate being on the dailies.
