Welcome to my photographic world! From our home in northeast Ohio, my husband Jack and I love to branch out to other parts of the country to find some of our favorite subjects, like lighthouses, old grist mills and other historic sites, local, state and national parks and my "specialty," colorful flowers and plants. The galleries here showcase some of our travels (as well as my family, friends, favorite pets and some of the awards I've been fortunate to win along the way) in the hope that visitors will be encouraged to go see for themselves. I hope you'll take some time to browse around, and questions and comments are welcome!

I'm a semi-retired newspaper editor, journalist and amateur photographer who keeps busy with freelance writing and photography projects. My husband and I love to travel, and our favorite destinations include the North Carolina Outer Banks, the coast of Maine and the western coastline and Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I write several blogs, including my latest, a celebration of the great cuisine that's available in northeast Ohio and western Pennsylvania called Mahoning Valley Eats & Treats. A second blog is an ongoing compilation of poems written by my late father, Harold A. Pickett (aka "Slim Acres"), who published several books over the 96 years of his lifetime and was a well-known public speaker throughout Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. The blog is titled The Best of Slim Acre s and features a new entry each Sunday.

Our family includes two grown children, Scott and Christine, and four grandchildren: Cassandra, Alexandra, Jacklyn Rose and Jarrett Allen. We've made our home in northeastern Ohio for many years -- Go Bucks!

Guestbook for Monnie Ryan

10.Ron McEwan(non-registered)

It has been a while since I visited your gallery Monnie, when the slide show came up first each photo kept saying Monnie, Monnie, Monnie. It is always a thrill to see your work. You and Jake have been an inspiration to me. Do you post daily here. I need to explore more on your recent work. I read one of the threads that wanted to know if it is worth the $100 bucks. I was paying 45 for another site and the cheap one here. I dropped the other and upgraded to the big one here. I thought it was a great trade off.

Hi Monnie,
Very nice work you have created. Love all of your pictures. I am thinking about uploading to Zenfolio and wanted to know your thoughts. Do you sell many of you photos? Is it worth the 100.00 a year?
Again, thanks for sharing your beautiful work.

You have some fabulous galleries Monnie! Gorgeous. I haven't seen them all yet, but working on it.

I found your blog in Fanfare a few days ago and today I logged into your blog. Your dad's poems are really a treat. I e-mailed the address to my e-mail buddies. I do not know if I every met your dad or not. We moved into Chestnut village in Apil, 2007. I'll look forward to more of his poems every week.
Phil
