Indepedence Day Colors Under the Francis Case Bridge in Washington, DC
A few years ago as a happier Fourth of July approached, I captured the Independence Day colors on the stone supports under the Francis Case Bridge in DC after a failed attempt to capture the setting sun in the Air Force Memorial spires from Hains Point. Check out my Fireworks gallery for some additional photos of the July 4th Fireworks from previous years.
News
Lee Graham Families,
The Dive Picture Day is coming soon.
If you want to sign up your diver(s) for a portrait on Dive Picture Day, July 9th,
OR
if you want to preorder a copy of the team photo(s)
please use the online order form before Picture Day.
You will be able to order copies of the team photos from my website after Picture Day.
If you have a swimmer or swimmers that missed the Swim Team Picture Day, you can sign up for a portrait on Dive Picture Day
Here are some of my photos from the Gladstones' performance at the 2026 Hurricane Party at Knights Gambit Vineyard on May 24, 2026.
Here are some of my favorite photos from 2025.
If you haven't been following my Facebook or Instagram feeds, you my not know that I spent about one month last fall in the Tetons / Yellowstone for some wildlife, landscape and astrophotography. Some of the photos are in my Facebook Photos gallery and all of the ones I've processed so far are in the West 2025 gallery.
Due to circumstances, I scrapped my plans for a spring trip out west, and I am very envious of the photographers currently capturing photos of baby grizzly bear cubs, bison calves etc. in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. I am now hoping to make another fall trip, and I have updated my plans for moonsets on the Tetons and the Milky Way in Yellowstone for 2027.
Those prints won't have my signature, and I still will be offering metal prints with my signature, but the signed prints will take a bit longer.
Website Updates
I added a field to the filter form, so that you can now search for photos taken in a specific year in my larger galleries. The form field should only appear when the gallery contains photos from multiple years.
If you are still having problems with the shopping cart, you can always send me an email with a list of your favorite photos, and the size(s) you wish to purchase.
Let me know what you think of those changes or if you discover any new bugs.
All of the URLs on my site should now be a lot easier to remember and share. Instead of the old format with the gID=XXX in the URL, you should now be able to simply enter a URL like www.CathySummers.com/2017-NVSL-All-Stars to find the photos I took during the NVSL All Star meet, or www.CathySummers.com/Abbott-Lane-Foxes to see the photos of the foxes who used to live in my backyard. You can always use the Gallery Search page to find a gallery by name or part of a name.
If you login when you start your visit, you can now mark photos as your favorites, and then you can look at all of your favorite images on a separate gallery page. I hope this will really help those of you trying to collect images from multiple galleries as you try to decide which one to purchase. Once logged in, you will see "Your Favorites" as the first item in the "Your Galleries" menu.
The Framed Prints gallery now allows you to look at zoomed in photos of all the framed prints I currently have and are ready for immediate pick up or delivery.
I have added a limited search capability to the gallery pages. You can now filter the images in a gallery by how I have rated the photos, if you want to see which ones I think are the best, and you can search for keywords if, for example you just want to see my rose photos without looking at the other flower images. Please let me know what you think of this change, or contact me with other suggested improvements.
Remember to follow my Facebook page for additional updates including previews of images that I add to the galleries here. See the button below.
Swim Photos
Please send me an email if you need access to your swim team's picture day gallery. I can still take orders for collages and prints.
If you are having any difficulty ordering prints or collages from my website, please use the option to email me your order during the checkout process. Please also contact me if you have any questions about the image sizes, magnets of your swimmer's or diver's portrait, et cetera.
Swimming is a highly photogenic sport with water flying off the swimmers' hands or cascading down over their faces, or with the distortions provided by the water, and sometimes I think the pictures can be enhanced with various effects in Photoshop, so I created the Swimmers as Art gallery to showcase some of those treatments and otherwise dynamic images. (If you have a favorite photo of your swimmer, contact me if you want to see if I can apply any of those transformations.)
If you are looking for the photos I have taken at some of the High School or other "winter" swim meets, you can try the Gallery Search to find the gallery. Contact me if you need a gallery's password. I will leave the photos from the High School and other swim meets on this web site for a while, and I will be happy to sell you prints or electronic copies.
With Elena now too old for swimming in NVSL meets, I will not be as tied to Lee Graham pool on my summer mornings. Please contact me if you are interested in discussing having me do your team photos.
