Our past has passed I can’t believe October is over and we are heading into winter. Well, really, my body knows it. Every joint hurts and I’m cold all the time. I won’t be cold forever. The chill feels much… Read More ›

THE CRYSTALLINE PAST
Our Past is Crystal The bright memories of our past is getting a little fuzzy, so I’m very glad I have photographs. It may be the best of the best things we get from our pictures, that very local history of… Read More ›
OH NO! OCTOBER CAN’T BE OVER, CAN IT?
Jiminy Cricket, we’re into the last week! Too soon, too soon. I’m not ready for November. Not ready for holidays and all the fuss and feathers. Doesn’t it seem that the world is spinning too fast? I’m getting dizzy! I took… Read More ›
TIME IS A RIVER
Where has the past week gone? Time is our river. We flow with it, are part of it. Sometimes, it seems to rush along faster and certainly as we age, the time goes by so quickly we barely register what has… Read More ›
AND SUDDENLY, IT’S THE BEGINNING OF THE END
Now come the lingering Autumn days leading to winter… It’s official. Autumn has peaked and will now disappear. First, slowly, but then, probably by the end of the month, the leaves will fall. That will be the first fall. The… Read More ›
COUNTRY ROADS, TAKE ME HOME
New England’s Autumn – At Peak It’s getting the end of the foliage getting better and now into the slow slide until all the leaves are on the ground. I think we are as peak as we are getting this… Read More ›
MORE SQUARES FROM THE PAST
A Flowery Past I have a lot of flowers and a lot of the pictures are square. On the other hand, some of my square flowers are also pink. Call that a double whammy!
PORTRAITS SQUARED UP
Portraits of Us by Us We take each other’s pictures, but Garry is the really dogged, determined portraitist. I sometimes feel like every time I turn around, he’s there with the camera. I frequently feel as if I ruined his… Read More ›
BRIGHT LEAVES ON THE SQUARE
TODAY’S BRIGHT LEAVES We were out most of the day with cameras taking far more pictures that I will probably ever have time to process — even minimally. I haven’t done almost any processing on any of these autumn shots… Read More ›
FLOWERS BY THE SQUARE
A Flowery Past All of these were used in the past, though which was used when? That I don’t know. In the gallery, the second shot is from a flowering vine that was killed by a falling tree. It also… Read More ›
NEARING PEAK FOLIAGE
FALL’S HERE! NOW WE HURRY BEFORE IT ENDS We waited. Would it be a good one? Would this year glow and would the weather cooperate? You really never know. Weather is always the key element in our seasons and ours… Read More ›
PAST AND PRESENT: A GLOWING WORLD
PAST TALES AND PRESENT COLORS I thought after we got through shopping at the Asian grocery, there would be time for some photography. But the shopping took a lot longer than I thought it would and we had frozen food… Read More ›
AUTUMN – A TRIUMPHANT ENTRY
AUTUMN WITH A BANG! I love how Autumn hides and then — out of nowhere — shows up with a wild flourish of colors that takes your breath away! .
AN ALMOST WORDLESS PAST – AUTUMN NEEDS NO WORDS
An Almost Wordless Past I could see bits of red in the now, almost entirely golden woods out back. While the birds are playing loop-the-loop in the new feeder, the trees decided it might be fall after all. We went out…. Read More ›
MUCH ADO ABOUT BIRDS – PART II
A Break With the Past I hung one of the two new feeders yesterday. It’s a new flat feeder to replace the older one the squirrels have chewed up. The one Owen put up today is called a “Fly-through feeder.”… Read More ›
MUCH ADO ABOUT BIRDS
A Break With the Past That’s good because I have some pretty pictures of our backyard birds. Goldfinch, still in their summer breeding feathers. Hairy woodpeckers hungry for suet. and a pudgy Tufted Titmouse. Square! After having no money last… Read More ›
ON TOP
ATOP THE HOUSE How’s your roof? Ours is okay, so far. No loose shingles. No leaks. No holes. It’s just that it’s 20 years old and every time I look at it, I start to worry. Who knew we’d live… Read More ›
ALWAYS THE LIGHT
LIGHT FROM THE PAST I know that all of these were previously posted. I don’t know if they were posted under light or for some other reason, but all of them are all about light. When I think about photography,… Read More ›
SQUARES: A BREAK WITH THE PAST
IT’S ALL ABOUT NOW Considering I took these pictures yesterday afternoon, that’s about as much breaking with the past as I can manage in one day. Colors are coming. If the temperatures would drop a bit — and they are… Read More ›
BIRDS OF MANY FEATHERS, A SQUIRREL, AND A SNAPPING TURTLE
Present and Past Connections Usually this would be my biggest month of picture taking, but it’s still raining. Okay, it stopped for a few hours this morning. That gave me a chance to get to the deck and clean up… Read More ›
