Easton's Cosmic Cup on College Hill makes the best cup of coffee in the Lehigh Valley and also encourages local talent by inviting them to use wall space to display their work.

Why do I love kids climbing trees...'cause I used to and still do...just ask my startled neighbor who was putting out trash one afternoon and caught me 15 feet off the ground pruning my Saphora Japonica.
It was so much fun photographing the hardworking and talented children, teachers and principals who won math achievement awards in Philadelphia.

Easton's Silk Mill Project:
Outdoor film night at Easton's Silk Mill Project was an exciting look into the future of the City. Construction on the sculpture path linking downtown Easton with the Silk Mill site begins in the Spring of 2010!
Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
