Just a blink ago, desperately in need of a forest break I made room in my daily schedule for a walk taking along my camera with me. At this time of year the pickings get scanty meaning if I don’t crank up my creativity I’m sunk. That day my Eagle Eyes were on and to my … Continue reading Creating Fun
Yep those weather folk got it right this time. We got the white stuff and then some. It started on the night of the 17th …..

And so it is the day dawned sunny but very chilly. In my excitement of perhaps finding early Spring ducks, I neglected to put on my thinking brain. Sure the last park I went to the fast moving creek was flowing, yet a pond? Well, I did get the last laugh let me tell you. … Continue reading And So It Is
The day dawned bright and sunny. With superhuman effort I pulled myself from off the bed consumed with pain so deep there was no end.

Two days ago Winter Wonderland put on quite a show before my bedazzled eyes as I wandered in sugar spun delight. No matter where my eyes turned, I saw divine royalty that stopped my breath.

On the day this post’s pictures were taken I lost one of my photographer mitts. As you can see by my feature picture those mitts had a lot of mileage on them and they were cherished. Where or when I inadvertently lost one of them, I do not know. All I do know is when … Continue reading Missing Mitt
Having not been out with my cameras for far too long(!), I ran a marathon one morning in order to make time for myself. My goal was to go to a park I love with the sole intention of creating a Walk-About Prayer. The purpose of my prayer was to help addd to the disarming … Continue reading Walk-About
Kids. It’s like this. The “enthusiasm” that is coming forth for my Fall series is impressive and OH I thank you all! There is a but coming.

Today’s story involves a mouse, a man and a woman. There was a mouse who decided he would make his Winter haven inside a man’s grill. This mouse found insulation for his nest, made it, and then he ran back and forth hundreds of times from the bird feeder in the backyard to the garage … Continue reading Warm And Cozy Or Not?
As promised, I give you today part 2 of my miracle day while I was at a park a week ago this past Sunday. Friends, I came upon a species of birds I would have sworn were no longer here.

Oh. My. God. PAIN! Fire in my forearm ignited as I rapidly stepped back, dropping what I had been holding. I couldn’t believe what just happened for it had never before. And here I just got through saving a life when another of its kind stung me. Last Friday a yellowjacket …. think huge black … Continue reading YOW, Surprise!
Making up my mind to grab my camera equipment and go to the park I had in mind, an opportunity for Light and Love to appear happened. Did I know beforehand? No. But!

I just followed my feet. To my delight I found treasures and then some. First, mist … then sensational sky … Continue reading Where There Is Light …
It would seem as if Hubby formed a relationship with a groundhog beginning a few weeks ago. Relationship is an odd term for me to use, for these two vied for victory with one another. Hubby was adamant that this groundhog would not be digging a hole in his pole barn foundation, and the groundhog … Continue reading Another Sort of Love Story
While eating dinner last evening, my eyes repeatedly gazed at a particular sight I saw out my window and I thought, “I wonder if I could capture what I am seeing with my camera.” I looked and wondered all the time as I ate. When finished with dinner, I went to get my long lens … Continue reading Serendipity
Stepping off trail, I carefully walked as quietly as I could towards what I call the swampy pond. Approaching the edge of the pond I chose a tree to half hide behind so I could scan the entire pond.
