SHARING MY WORLD
Share Your World 23rd January It’s a rare day that I only get to this prompt so late in the week, but we’ve been running around and we aren’t done quite yet. Do you find it relatively easy to fall asleep… Read More ›
DEEP IN THE HEART OF MEDICAL MADNESS
I’m not sure why we find ourselves in these periods where we do nothing but go from one doctor appointment to the next. Everything clumps together. On a positive note, we get everything done and then things usually calm down… Read More ›
THE GREAT WHITE HURRICANE OF MARCH 11, 1888
It has snowed every night for the past week but only a few inches at a time. We often get more snow (or rain) later in the day, but every morning when I get up, the ground and the deck… Read More ›
BIRDS IN THE BUSH WITH SNOW
When it snows, you can see how many dozens of birds live in the forsythia hedge in the backyard. I couldn’t get sharp pictures. This was one of the times when the autofocus couldn’t figure out where to focus. Between… Read More ›
WINTER BIRDS IN RAIN & SNOW
When I got up and went out to feed the birds, it was pouring — and warm. Less than an hour later, the temperature dropped and a pretty heavy snow was falling. Tomorrow it’s supposed to snow and rain in… Read More ›
WINTER ARRIVES (SORT OF)
It rained like mad in the morning. An hour later it was snowing like mad. It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world. I processed two photos in black and white. It’s a monochrome world in winter. It’s not a lot… Read More ›
ON A GOLDEN AFTERNOON – IN JANUARY?
I looked out the window and the light was golden against the trees. It’s not the color you usually see in the middle of winter. I associate that color with autumn and sometimes summer. Maybe it was because of all… Read More ›
MORE YELLOW-GREEN ORCHIDS
FOTD – January 22 – Yellow-Green Orchids I should have been taking pictures of our little snow, but I was, instead, pulling veins from the middle of supposed cleaned and deveined shrimp. But I did get some pretty pictures of the… Read More ›
“THAT’S NOT WHO WE ARE”
Lest we forget, this is a flashback to January 20, 2021. Every person who gets interviewed on television says the same thing. It’s the current mantra about “the U.S.A.” The hooligans who rioted in our Capitol are not really who… Read More ›
A NEW CAMERA, A MACRO LENS, AND A YELLOW-GREEN ORCHID
FOTD – January 20 – A new camera and a yellow-green Orchid Somewhere in the middle of the madly medical week, the camera I’ve been waiting for showed up. I’m sometimes astonished at Amazon’s packing. They send me a bag… Read More ›
FETISH
FOWC with Fandango — Fetish I collect Native American fetishes. These are small carved items — sort of like charms or amulets — but more than that. Some of these carving are remarkably artistic. Tiny, yet perfect. Each fetish represents a… Read More ›
CIRCLES & CURVES | BLACK & WHITE
CBWC: Circles and Curves Curves — including arches. Circles — including a camera and a pocket watch. The nearly round buds of an opening orchid and the big, round wheels on a bicycle.
SMALL MIRACLES
I got the right nurse! She wrapped my arm in heated blankets and was able to find a working vein on the second try — which is probably a record especially considering how many have been unable to find a… Read More ›
A FEW MORE BIRDS
We got a new 40-pound bag of birdseed, so I was able to fill the feeders this morning. They watch me and know when the feeders are full. If I take too long, they get restless and fly past me,… Read More ›
THE CROWD BY THE FEEDER
After all my gratitude at the lack of snow this winter, of course it snowed this morning. We only got a few inches — maybe three? But not far away, they got half a foot and the week’s not over… Read More ›
