I’m in need of some cheering up. So I decided to go into my collection of my photographs and post some of my favorite shots from over the years. Dates from, oh gosh, 3 years ago for some. All have so many good memories attached. So many great stories, or just WOW moments, some beautiful things…all for their own reasons. Continue reading From flys to furry babies
Ok, so let’s try this again. Some of you received this post and what do your wondering eyes behold? Nothing. That is because I am composing these posts under less than ideal circumstances. First and foremost, getting my laser mouse to go where I want it to is a Jedi mind trick. My laser keyboard key’s stick, my OS for my Mac Mini is obsolete, … Continue reading Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: LINES
Into the lens of the camera I go when I have need of escape. Through my camera I can escape the realities of the day, week, month, year and just languish in the act of creativity. Gardening is a close second, but the winter months leave us gardeners edgy. However, with my camera I can appreciate the subtle beauty of winter. What leaves are left … Continue reading Daily Prompt: Oasis
Last couple days I have felt very uninspired. Why is it that as soon as we give ourselves license to dream all of a sudden we become paralyzed. Fear? Perhaps. I don’t know. So yesterday I went back out after I walked Irish and decided to look at the world around me in a new way. I took the “color swap” feature and switched out … Continue reading Adventures in burgundy
It is the time of year for reflection. The following photos are both new & from the last couple months. This post is for the Weekly Photo Challenge | Reflections Continue reading Photos of Reflection; a redux
Lots of walks this week, therefore lots of photos. Playing last few days with Flickr & GIMP and haven’t really posted anything but photos for the Daily Prompts. So, with no further adieu I little slideshow of photos “in the raw” from the week. As you’ll notice we went from late fall to winter within a matter of days. It was a lot of fun … Continue reading Sunday Photo Round-up
I was going to go into this whole eloquent piece on … I honestly have no idea what … but it was going to be BEAUTIFUL. I am blessed with so many good things & good people. I am healthy, I have a roof over my head … and then I saw this picture from February 2012 of Irish getting her toes massaged (last pic … Continue reading Thankful
The following were shots I took this summer. I was experimenting with the colour isolation feature on my Canon PS S5IS. {I’m dreaming of a Nikon D5100…just like the one I accidentally read about this morning….. ;-)} To join the challenge: A Word A Week Photography Challenge: Flower Continue reading Flower
I went out today with my Nokia N95 Camera Phone for my walk rather than the bulkier Canon. I prefer it sometimes as its lighter. Afterward as I looked through what I had taken, I wanted to subtly enhance the mood … so I very gently softened them with Picasa. I like the effect; it captures how I felt today. Lots on my mind. Lots … Continue reading Desiderata
This post is sort of an ‘homage’ in a way to things past. Yesterday was a day to open things up and see what is inside. I did go into our bedroom finally yesterday and began that difficult task. I started with the hardest of those things; the bags with his stuff that the hospital sent home. So I stood there in our bedroom and … Continue reading A Suitcase For Memories
I’ve been drinking too much coffee and indulging in too too many of those rotten cylinders of sin. Two hard-boiled eggs and 2 pieces of cheese for breakfast; then a two hour nap. Umph….I don’t blawdy think so. This kat I fear is soon going to have a posterior region that soon will take up more room on this chair then it should. I am … Continue reading Long Sunday Walks
Inside the light changes and it slides into my cottage world and calls to me. Outside it is fresh & clear. So camera dangling from my neck, furry, rambunctious canine on the end of the leash we embark on adventure. There are beautifully muted colours in fall; lovely linen coloured grass’, dark grapey seed heads against the blue sky. It’s at this time of year … Continue reading The Sunshine called my name…
