I have this game I used to play with the kids and their cameras in their phones. I’d be driving and I’d yell of a subject I’d see and they’d have to get a good picture of it. To do so, that’s turning the phone into camera mode, framing and shooting. The results of which … Continue reading »

Dust In The Wind
Every time I see a Cardinal it reminds me of a story I know, about a Cardinal like the one pictured above and a young boy. A brief encounter, an accident, and a boy changed forever, and afterwards this boy vowing to always be a champion for anything or anyone too small or incapable of … Continue reading »
Oh…Mexico
Found this pic from many years ago taken with my Nikon FE-2, scanned it into the computer and here it is. The water down there is truly this beautiful as are the ruins, and for me, Indiana Jone’s-like adventures seemed abundant. Ha. Oh, Mexico…isn’t that a James Taylor song? Yes, I believe it is! James … Continue reading »
Haliaeetus leucocephalus
Bald Eagles, whether in captivity or in the wild are an awe-inspiring site. This one seemed very content with its mate (not shown). For more information on the Bald Eagle, please click here! Continue reading »

The snow fell lightly as you can see the small pellets which landed on the surface of the … Continue reading »
Overburden
Weighed down with a problem, an hour later I returned to see the plant more upright then when I first encountered it, the sun assisting with the melting of the snow, the plants problem melting away. With time things often get better, be it clearer understanding of the situation, adapting to it, and then hopefully … Continue reading »

Sometimes life is too serious. Give yourself a break. Relax and enjoy yourself. Continue reading »
Make A Wish
Talk about a tough neighborhood, when we were kids we’d do anything to get to the flying ‘wish’ before anyone else, even it meant throwing a full body block or tackle to prevent another from getting to it first. I believe the MilkWeed plant may be where these flying dream-makers come from. Wishes, dreams, desires, … Continue reading »
An Irish Toast
I’ve had this mug for a long time. It gets used once a year. I take it down from the cupboard and clean it, then pour in ‘spirits for the spirits’, toasting the memories of people passed. I change the saying just a bit and make it past tense. It’s not a big ceremony. … Continue reading »
