Beyond The Known
Watching the two of them, I laughed so hard. There in front of me was a young woman with her Husky’s leash wrapped around her legs. She on skis, it was evident she was teaching her dog how to pull her. It wasn’t going very well. I opted to take some shots while I stilled … Continue reading First Timer
Today’s tale involves my love affair with a horse. Yes, a horse. Our neighbors went on vacation and asked me to take care of their horse while they were away. Prior to this, I had been going over to the barn and pasture every day with apples and carrots, showing this horse how much she … Continue reading Love Affair
This week! My posts have been brief for a reason. We lost our electric for 5 hours on Sunday due to an extremely bad wind and lightning storm. Poor Rusty who was sleeping on my bed, careened sky high when thunder clapped directly overhead. In midair he pooped he was that terrified. Never have I … Continue reading Friday Wrap Up
It being Wednesday and all, this post will be brief. Mid-week. Almost Friday. Hump day. Let’s celebrate this day with pictures of ice which I played with in the editing rooms. I do believe you will come away from this post with a new respect for ice. (smile) Angels’ Wings Rods and Dollops … Continue reading Wednesday’s Ice
Let’s start this week on the lighter side of life, shall we? To do this we have to revisit last September to help us. So, let’s do this! Hmmmm ….. what the … ? Dance. Oh yeah! Sing. Join me! Spread those wings! Drooling with infatuation over you. May this … Continue reading Monday’s Smiles
Zippity-do-da! Snow! Perhaps just a little, but this was my chance to at least attempt to bring some snowscapes to you. But where to go, I asked? Hmmmm ….. I thought some and then I knew. It was cold the day I went out with my cameras. Very. So with care I dressed ensuring I … Continue reading YES!
Can you believe that 2019 is almost over? Where did the year go? I don’t know about you, but it seemed to have passed as if in a blur. Now here we are, about to go into a brand new decade. 2020! That to me sounds futuristic, as if suddenly I find myself catapulted into … Continue reading Happy New Year 2020
Santa was very very good to me this year. I have for the first time a professional Canon speedlite. I opened the manual to peruse the contents and my eyes crossed. Hubby laughed at me as I struggled to comprehend the basics and how to attach this light to my camera. He told me he … Continue reading Lite Memories
Wishing from this Miracle of a home, a Merry Christmas to you and your Loved Ones. May all of you experience the Wonder of Miracles and Love in a very special way. I will not be blogging. I am spending precious time with my family. Comments also will be closed. This Christmas is probably the … Continue reading Merry Christmas
What did the woodpecker say to the tree? “Thank you for giving me a wee bit of your life force cuz I’m free- zing as I hug you to me!” ~~~ Yes, it has been cold here. The day I took a picture of this Flicker Woodpecker though our dining room window, he actually looked … Continue reading Nature Speaks
BEFORE AFTER In the darkroom, I felt my stress melt away. Not sure how much longer I could sit with my knees so sore from working legs at the gym, I hung in there. Don’t ask me what I pushed or what I did cuz I couldn’t tell you. I played until I … Continue reading Before And After
Just how smart are cats? What our cats did on Hubby’s birthday blew not only me out of the water in complete awe, but Hubby as well. In fact, it took Hubby a few hours to believe me that I did not set up what you are about to see. Our cats must have held a “family … Continue reading How Smart Are They?
I normally do not show three pictures of the same bird, but there are always exceptions especially when it comes to a bird I’ve been trying to capture for years. A gorgeous male Pileated Woodpecker was spotted almost immediately when I entered the park. Could it really be this easy when I’ve been “hunting” for … Continue reading Gotcha!
For the longest time, a Cooper’s Hawk sat on our tree that is closest to our house. I took pictures of him though our window. I know he knew I was there, yet he patiently allowed me to capture him. What a gorgeous bird of prey! On that very same day, I managed a bit … Continue reading Hawk, Ice, And News
I saw something that shocked me to my soul that screamed how very very precious life is, and how at any moment, life can cease. Remember this when you are with family and friends this Holiday Season who may not necessarily be your best buds or who may rub you all wrong. Could you this … Continue reading The Most Precious Gift Of All
Looking into the mirror the next day, I was shocked by what I saw. Just one hour being outdoors without any foundation on had put age on my face! NO!!! Aging, at least this part of it, I do not like! My skin has become thin and the cold puts added age onto an already … Continue reading Cold’s Effects
Let me just say, supplements, superfoods, organic whole foods, and exercise pay off! And hugely! Not once but thrice + 1, someone has of late either commented on how I seem to be getting younger, or something was said that indicated I am not a “ma’am”. For those of you who are not familiar with … Continue reading Not Once But Thrice + 1
To know what love is what love isn’t has to be experienced first and then and only then real love becomes known to the heart. ~~~~ I get super nervous photographing people as I feel it is an invasion of privacy. If I do take human pictures it mostly is from the back or in … Continue reading To Know
Just the other day I decided to go to Chestnut Ridge Park, camera in tow, with hope I’d hit the peak Fall colors. I wasn’t in tiptop form that day, yet I insisted on going. Deciding to leave my fanny pack with my water bottle in the car, and only carrying one camera body, I … Continue reading Creating Possible
In leaning in close to encourage another it’s as though Heaven itself conjoins with Earth. ~~~~ Every other year since I have been blogging, I would literally run after the colors seen in Fall. Hundreds if not thousands of pictures have been taken in past years. There is something about Fall that is so … Continue reading Encouragement
With camera in hand, I went to Reintstein Park. To my astounded eyes, the colors that are showing now, are some of the brightest I think I’ve ever seen! I think from all the rain we had this year, this year’s Exhibition of Color is going to be phenomenal. As it is, what I found … Continue reading A Walk In The Park
If you don’t know French, the title says, “Gardens are finished!”. Finally! OH. MY. HEAVENS! Finally! The final tally is in! I used a total of 90 pounds (40.8 kg.) of fertilizer. I am so proud of myself for accomplishing what I did do combined with my everyday schedule that comprises my life. There were … Continue reading Les Jardins Sont Finis!
Friends, I am getting there. I’ve gone through 72 pounds (32.66 kg) of fertilizer so far. To give you an idea of what I’ve done, I followed the “per plant” directions which state for each established plant, work 1 cup of fertilizer into soil around drip line. To go one step further, I weighed that … Continue reading Getting There!
For a little while, I plan on being quiet as in not here. The time has come for me to close up my gardens and due to all else in my life, it is going slowly. I’ve had to temporarily say no to gym and to blogging. Presently I’m fighting to assist my back and … Continue reading Temporary Quiet
