Rocky Patel at Jersey Smokes, Michele Ford Photography

Everybody had a great time at Jersey Smokes in Jackson, New Jersey last night.  I stopped by to take some photos of the event. Rocky Patel hosted with a Buy 2 Get 1 promo. 

Let's see those smiles!

You can always count on Charlie!

The Rocky Patel shirts rock... where do I get one?

Nothing like great company for a nice smoke! 

Stop by the lounge and relax...

Nobody bothers you here.

  

Leo had some nice Jerky... beef, ostrich, oh all kinds!

Leo and Charlie with Allison from Rocky Patel!

No tobacco store is complete without the wooden Indian statue!

Next event, Thursday, November 17th. 

Stop by Jersey Smokes' Facebook page for more!

Sunrise!

Good morning and what a beautiful day it is! I went to bed early last night so I could get down to the beach this morning and shoot the sunrise.

As I arrived, there was a man fishing in the surf. The sun was not up yet. I loved his shadow in this picture!

Just as the sun began to rise, birds flew by!

It was a spectacular sunrise and a beautiful way to start the day. I always say that some day I'm either going to live at the beach or somewhere far away in the mountains....

Two Etsy Treasury Collections & One Sunday in October

This morning I awoke to the delight of notifications from Etsy that my photos were included in two Treasury collections. How wonderful is that?

The curator of the Treasury, Elizabeth O'Hara, is a very skilled and talented artist with two beautiful shops on Etsy. One shop is for her artwork, she makes the most amazing birds! Elizabeth's other shop is for her fused glass. I will have to admit, I haven't seen much "fused glass" before and I was astounded by the beauty of Elizabeth's wonderful work! Have a look at her fused glass here. You'll be happy you did...

These are links to have a look at the neat tricks and treats of these collections:

Fall is upon us! The weather is getting cooler and the winds are picking up. While I was in the hot tub this morning, a leaf fell from the tree above me as a sign of many more to come. I love this season, and I'm looking forward to getting out and about and taking many more fall photos to put in my Etsy shop!! Take a look at my new listings!

All the best for a great day :)

A beautiful day!

It's a beautiful day over here at the Jersey Shore!

I woke up this morning to be pleasantly surprised by the number of visitors to a picture that I've posted for sale at Etsy.com! In less than 22 hours, we've had 100 visitors!

You can purchase this print here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/54956314/red-gerbera-daisy-8x10-fine-art-nature. The watermark does not appear on your purchased print.

I sell only the print; that way you can pick out your own matte and frame. This print looks lovely in your home! It brightens up any room you put it in. It also makes a terrific gift!

All the best for a great day!
