A Conversation With A View
Just too much lately. I went over the edge and fell so hard. My nerves are jangling. And the exhaustion is threatening to bring me to my knees. Too many of my babies are demanding extra attention which my stomach can attest. Deep breathing is deployed consciously as I tend to hold my breath … Continue reading A Conversation With A View
The Challenge
How tough it’s been to get here at WP. So I thank all of you for your patience with my “late” responses to your comments, when it happens. I’ve got a lot going on right now and no one but me can do what needs to be done. I have 2 one-on-ones babies. Both … Continue reading The Challenge
The Virgin Bike Ride
#1 …. The purpose. √ Got it covered. ⇓ #2 …. The place. √ Ready and waiting. ⇓ #3 …. The person. √ The MAN is out of the basement. ⇓ *Picture of MAN goes here. Use your imagination. √* Finally all three in order. It only took all … Continue reading The Virgin Bike Ride
10% Precipation
Checking the weather forecast and radar too, it looked to be a good day for a bike ride. I was psyched! So onward I went, my camera strapped to me with every intention of having both an exceptional bike ride, and along the way taking some great pictures. Except … Beginning the ride I noticed … Continue reading 10% Precipation
Manure Mountain
There I stood. In front of a massive mountain of horse poop and standing on that horse poop as well. I was in my sneaks planning on taking said sneaks off and putting my muck boots on. Well, my left sneak decided to have a knot when I went to untie it. My sneak’s … Continue reading Manure Mountain
A Day In Another World
In speaking with a birder couple (those whose heads are looking up while walking around with binoculars around their neck) I was told that they were both extremely surprised I actually captured a Wood Thrush with my camera. These birds are extremely shy and normally do not show themselves. This bird who I caught peeking … Continue reading A Day In Another World
Notice To Theives
It has come to my attention in a very shocking manner just how easy it is for anyone to steal any of my photographs and then print them. That will no longer happen. From this post on, if I even decide to keep on blogging, my photographs will be presented in such a manner … Continue reading Notice To Theives
What????
What I saw concerned me greatly. Never have I seen anything as to what I was looking at in that moment. I asked, “Excuse me, but could you tell me what you all are doing?” I had politeness in my voice, and a smile on my face, even though I was alarmed. My question sounded … Continue reading What????
Merlin
Sunday I had just put my feet up ready to relax when the phone rang. Inwardly I groaned but I couldn’t banish that ringing so up I went to answer that phone. Good thing I did, too. Picking up saying hello, I heard hubby saying, “Amy, come quick! Grab your camera and come outside where … Continue reading Merlin
Gardens
Oh my goodness!! Editing all these pictures … whew! And then while editing I realized I had forgotten to photograph one garden that has new flowers in it. At this point, I’m not about to run and catch a snap. As some would say. (smile) I do show within my images the new flowers in … Continue reading Gardens
Bye-Bye Birdies
Shockingly as it seems to be, signs of Fall have arrived. And with it, many birds have begun to migrate. This image was shot from out of my dining room window as my Heart plummeted sighing …. “no not already!” This picture was taken on July 29th, and today, the 10th of August, all Red … Continue reading Bye-Bye Birdies
Grateful For Who I Am
As long as you are happy with who you are never mind what the world says who you should be. Be as this turtle not caring a fig even if he is carrying more then his shell. ~~~~ It is in the moments like this one when I was looking at this young snapping turtle … Continue reading Grateful For Who I Am
Time Flies
[Wilson Warbler] Where has time gone? I’ve barely been here most of the Summer. If it has not been $600 worth of plants being put into the ground by me (no worries you shall see my gardens), it has been one cat crisis after the other. And then every chance I get I run over … Continue reading Time Flies
Silent Sunday
From left to right is Charlie, Whispers, Rusty, with Sassy closest to the camera. It’s been a very intense Summer for me and my special family. Again with this oncoming week, I try to step back into blogging. As I do so, I have every intention that this week heralds the Calm after many Storms. … Continue reading Silent Sunday
Bath Time
I have to admit I’ve begun to believe I have the Luck of the Irish with me these days. I am stunned by all the encounters I’ve had of late that have required being in the right place at the right time. Grateful? Beyond words! I could weep for joy that seemingly the time has … Continue reading Bath Time

Even though I could barely breathe (NO air!) and literally soaking wet with perspiration (Major shower … Continue reading I’m Doing This!
Wildlife Break
*Turn phones horizontal/visit blog to view FULL SCREEN* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I took a day off from all the heavy gardening I’ve been doing to go to Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve Park, taking with me my Canon camera and 100-400mm lens. Most of what I shot ended up in the trash bin. This wildlife photography is a … Continue reading Wildlife Break
Time (10 IMAGES)
(Two great songs connected to links ⇓ you don’t want to miss.) Time has been doing some strange I’m talking weird things of late. Last week I thought was at least 2 weeks long with most days finding me not knowing which day it was. Time looped round and round as I dug and dug, planting … Continue reading Time (10 IMAGES)
Time-Out
Seems the time has come for me to be with my gardens. Why? I am redesigning many of my gardens [HOLY MOLY!], which means, adding to [buying at a Nursery] new flowers, bringing them home and planting them, thinning out existing flowers and transplanting them to other gardens, getting rid of plants that are not … Continue reading Time-Out

Growing Pains
*Turn phones horizontal/visit blog to view FULL SCREEN* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Today I played in Ribbet with this image. It is so hot outside it is like an oven.
