7.16.14 Wordless Wednesday
Mid Week Musings – Reader Thank You
I normally don’t post on Wednesdays, because it’s the most hectic work day of my week. But in a conversation with another blogger, a thought hit me today about all of you, my readers. Many of you are new; in fact, more than half of you, within the last six weeks. You don’t really know…
Sunday Snippets 6.28.14
I’m here cooling off after running around snapping shots in the humid heat for this week’s photo challenge over at my most recent newborn activity, my photo-focus blog: My Digital Eye Queue I’ll still include shots that add value here in my writing, but some folks don’t want to slog through my verbosity, they just want…
The Birthday Hike – Finale
Can you tell I’m stringing this along just have another excuse to take these memories out and immerse in them again 🙂 I hope you don’t mind humoring me in it. It is difficult to tear myself away from the old homestead and all of its treasures and imaginings. But I hear the wild turkeys…
Deux Estrangers Familiers – a poem that fell out upon awakening
Poetry for me is not something that I can force. It rushes out, tethered by a phrase or imagery in the moment and must be grasped and quickly captured before its elusiveness causes a slip through the fingers. Deux Estrangers Familiers I want to redolently float through your inner landscape, Collecting an…
The Birthday Hike – Part 2
The pace and intensity of work lately has left me primed more than usual for pulling out the memories of this year’s earlier camping trip. It isn’t that I mind working (although independent wealth would be cool too, lol!). It is just that often it seems that there is nothing really productive about my days…
A little (hah!) more macro work
While I have always enjoyed photography, what I am liking about macro work is what it reveals to me that I normally overlook, or am too far away to notice (or…rushing past!) Lately, I am struck by the flowers within flowers 🙂 A few jewel tones for today. Two different colors of bougainvillea, white bracts…
The similarities between people and flowers…and dancing!
Last weekend I had some macro photo fun, and then more playtime with the photo editing software afterwards during the week. Flowers are so delightful to me, from the tiny blue flowers that appear in the weeds in the alleyway, to the velveteen simplicity of the magnolia, and everything in between. This flower is a…
Macro photo fun
One of my hobbies is photography, a bug that bit me back in High School when I worked for the Yearbook staff. Over the years I’ve played with the camera on and off, but did not know that in my late husband’s things there was a macro lens for the old Nikon. Here are…
The Birthday Hike Part 1
While I had planned to stay until the last minute possible on the property, I realized that a more pragmatic approach would be to return home a day before my return to work and have some quiet time for shifting gears back into my temporarily ‘normal’ world. The wild me tried to take over and calculate how…
Windy by the sea, dropping temps and clear skies = pure physical pleasure
Just a mini-break postlet of sorts. I just returned from a long walk with the dog. I love nights like this, where the sea winds are rather blustery due to the cold front, it is in the 60’s and heading downward, the skies are perfectly clear and out of the lights you can see the…
