sun dog sunset | fairhope, AL | fairhope photography

This time of year, we are usually treated with fewer high humidity days and more colorful sunset displays. I knew all day long that I wanted to capture the sunset. I was just "feeling" it. Luckily, I'm not far from Mobile Bay to make a quick trip for a few photos. As I approached the location I wanted, I was in awe of the gorgeous phenomenon happening that evening called a "sun dog sunset".  From what I know, it happens when ice crystals are refracted from the low sun on cirrus clouds. I was literally shaking in excitement as I took it all in with the camera. I felt blessed. Topping off the special Fairhope sunset, was a peaceful paddle boarder and his yellow lab gently cruising by across my frame. It could not have been any more of a perfect sunset that evening in my hometown of Fairhope.

baking bread | Fairhope food photography

I love baking (sweet) breads. I've baked for years. I have loaf pans of many assorted sizes. At the start of early fall, when technically where we live it still feels like summer, I always choose to bake this delicious bread called, Autumn Pear Bread. It has yummy pieces of ripe moist pear that is balanced nicely with a smooth textured bread and a faint hint of nutmeg. It's a yummy morning, noon or night kind of treat!
