Waiting for rain
SUDDENLY
And just when I think I’ve gotten ALL the bad news I can handle, along comes more. Cardiac catheterization because maybe I need more bypasses. My kidneys are looking not so good. Probably more testing because says the kindly doctor… Read More ›
SNOW BIRDS

THE BIG ONE-TWO PUNCH
Be careful what you wish for, for you will surely get it. I’ve been worrying about our absent winter. It has been in much too warm for what should be the coldest time of year. Not even a real freeze… 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 ›
THE CROWD BY THE FEEDER
