‘The Cat and the Guy Without His Hat” Frankie is an indoor cat. She is OK with that except when we and the dogs are all outside and she is inside alone. She never tries to escape to the outside, but she is always happy when someone carries her out and provides a lap from which she can enjoy the sounds, scents and sights of the great outdoors. Today her daddy took her out and they both seemed to be…
“A Spoonful of…” Well, I could have, should have done a little better job of photographing a reflection, but yesterday got away from me and this is the best I could do at 10 pm.
“Between Notes” I am thankful that I have a job that I love and that allows me to make music every day, but I have to admit that by this time in the week, I am most appreciative of the pauses between the notes.
“Circles”
‘Eyes on the Internet”
“Huddle” There is not much around here that looks like the changing seasons. I wandered around looking for something, anything that gave even the smallest hint of fall. I stumbled upon this fallen crisp brown huddle of oak leaves. There was something so beautiful about the way the evening sun was shining through them. No matter how hard I tried, I could not get the camera to see the same thing that I saw. (I know, stupid statement coming from…
“A Mess of Shoes” *** No time was injured in the setting up of this shot. *** This is about as everyday as it gets. The shoes that we don’t wear very often are neatly stacked in clear boxes in another closet. The ones we wear daily, however, get kicked of into the closet haphazardly at the end of the day. When I am crawling around on the closet floor barely awake at 6:30am trying to get ready for school,…
“September Pole?” In my continuing effort to make sure that a get a photo of both of the girls each month, I had to take advantage of erin’s visit today for her September picture. She agreed to “grip” the pole so that we at least gave a nod to today’s prompt. She is always so easy and a lot of fun to photograph! I’m sure she is thinking about how much she love her mama!
“Beware” Anything having to do with a garden at our house this year requires a vivid imagination! I came up way short of creativity with today’s prompt. A trip to Target, ostensibly for throat lozenges to address the fall cold that I feel coming on, yielded this cute little Lego figure…and pumpkin spice M&Ms. This was the best I could do today. No garden, no creativity, no energy and a sore throat all make for blah a photo.
“Remember” It is hard for me to believe that this is the thirteenth anniversary of the horrific attacks on this country on September 11, 2001. The sounds, images, and emotions of that day are still as vivid as if they were yesterday. As I talked with my freshman college students yesterday, I realized that most of them were in kindergarten on this day in 2001; most of them were sheltered and protected from the intense grief and sorrow that blanketed…
