Marrying
her high school sweetheart Larry, they enjoy their two children, Heather
and Cameron, and their granddaughter Samantha. Being outside
playing tennis, bicycling, skiing, or jogging fits their active lifestyle.
Marsha
claims to have the best of two jobs anyone could ask for. She is also a registered nurse working at a local
hostel in acute
care settings. The hands on
caring, and making a difference in one role; being alone, photographing
the country, seeing the sights and sounds of nature, and creating a
massive library of images, in the other.
An
inventory of Marsha's
work is listed in the following categories:
Barns
— Take pleasure in these stately shelters fellow
Americans created and are soon to be a detail of the past.
Bridges — These viaducts were made for stability and
longevity and now are in danger of losing their fate.
These photographs are a recording of the historic preservation of
our heritage for us and for generations yet to be. For additional
Covered Bridge websites, please visit the County History Preservation
Society at http://www.countyhistory.com.
Churches,
Mills and Lighthouses — Appreciate these stately functional
constructions our legacy beholds.
Autumn — The stunning hues of gold, orange and reds
invite the impending change in climate.
Rural
Scenes — Enjoy the tranquil balanced arrangement of our
countryside.
Mountains
— The grandiose peaks formed from early glaciers left a corridor for us
to discover.
Nature — The environment so delicately designed is
abundant and in all places.
Nature
Close Ups — The enormous design of life before us take shape
to the form of delicate patterns of grace and composure.
Waterfalls/Streams
— The echo, the display of water rushing to its tenure.
Country
Abstracts — Take time for a closer look at the intangible
textures of these remarkable structures.
Seasons — Observe the transformations of climate in one
background after another.
American Scenery — This land with its
vast selection and splendor bid us to see the sights and take pleasure in.
Photographic
Art — With a stroke of an electronic brush and palette
knife, an image is transformed into a hand painted replica.

"Quiet Path" Books
|
The
“Quiet Path” series of books I have published are to instill
Americans to stop, slow down, enjoy life, and take pleasure in
the smallest, minute spectacular things God has given us to
benefit from. “Visions of North America” is a computation
of images from this exquisite continent we live on. How
very fortunate are we to have deserts, valleys, mountains,
plains, and oceans to name just a few and to inspire
us. Inspire us to be good people. To give and to be thankful
for the vast diversity given to us right before our eyes.
Inspire us to work hard and to appreciate what we do have as
resources and glorify their presence by our appreciation of
such wealth. Yes, wealth. Indeed, we have a prosperous
country in which to live, but we are so much richer than
that. And it doesn’t take a lot of money. Take a moment to
sit under an oak tree and talk to a friend. Look at the
tall grass of summer and feel the warmth of the wind on your
face. It is all around us.
I was, and am
fortunate enough to have seen a lot of these beautiful
places. We weren’t rich. We camped. Both as a child and
as an adult. Packed up like a bunch of gypsies, we took off
every summer with two small children and went to the
mountains, or great lakes. But when we are visiting theses
terrific places, you know what we like to do the best? Take
a ‘moment’ and pause. Pause and stare at one particular
sight. One to remember, and one to carry us on until that
next precious moment.

Marsha
has traveled Indiana for years to create this quiet path
collection of covered bridges. She has a picture of
every covered bridge in Indiana that still exists. They
are a tribute to her work, and to the wonderful people of this
state for lovingly caring for these beautiful bridges.
It
is estimated that around ten thousand covered bridges were
built in the United States in the nineteenth century and early
twentieth centuries. Between 400 and 500 bridges were
constructed in Indiana. In 1930, 202 remained. By
1998, ninety-two were left!
The
covered bridges of Middle America sit amidst fertile fields
and country villages and they assume the look of the
breadbasket of America. They are square, sturdy,
conservative, and take on the red and white color of the
great barns that share their space. More than any other
region, they amalgamate the nature that surrounds. They
are icons of a peaceful world as—they should be.
