I’ve been laying low from posting about our Boston trip so as not to be disrespectful to the events transpiring in Boston. Thankfully we were safe at home by Sunday night, the evening before the Marathon. Our entire long weekend was filled with events attended with marathon runners and observers, and our prayers continue to … Continue reading »
You know what scares me? My daughters (both of them) reactions to bees. Everything is calm, and suddenly a bee appears and you would swear a ten foot mass murderer just appeared and was chasing them down the street. All sense of rationalization goes right out the window; hands waving wildly, shouting, sheer panic. It … Continue reading »
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 »

It’s been a while since we’ve been out taking shots and I can’t wait for the weather to break a bit and let us get back out there. lately I’ve been occupied with observing the personalities at the bird feeder on this side of my house, in particular, this squirrel, we’ve nicknamed Fat Louie. There … Continue reading »
The other morning was very foggy. I came around the curb above, my iPhone suddenly slipped off the dash where I placed it. I grabbed the phone as it fell, had the camera ‘on’ because I took a photo just seconds before, but when I grabbed the phone it snapped this photo, apparently if you … Continue reading »
While walking through the woods I came across this frozen pond, the visible crack in its center possibly not from something falling through, but designating the very last place where the ice is freezing and coming together. The snow fell lightly as you can see the small pellets which landed on the surface of the … Continue reading »
