One of the fun things about blogging is making new friends and trying new things. Stacy Fischer, over at Visual Venturing, presents a picture each month for post-processing interpretations for whoever would like to participate. I did it last month (in this post here) and really enjoyed it. Manal Ali shared such an interesting photo…
The other day, MargeKatherine played around with some Photoshop Filters on her blog, Inside Out Cafe. I left her comment encouraging her to try Topaz Labs plug-in filters and she said – . . . get in there and play around and see what fun images you can create! And then show me!! So I…
For me, it’s way too easy to be oblivious to events around me. Work, fatigue, stress, and inattentiveness all contribute to days flying by without me noticing them. One of my goals for this year has been to reconsider my routines. One of the routines I’ve experimented with is celebrating other anniversaries. I’ve been with limited success on this…

Firm (from Wiktionary) – A business enterprise, however organized. When I lived in Omaha, the firm I worked for was ConAgra Foods. The campus was gorgeous – a jewel in downtown. Here is the front of the building that I worked in, taken when everything was lush and green. Word for tomorrow – DEAR. If you…
Thing (from Wiktionary) – A word, symbol, sign or other referent that can be used to refer to any entity. There are all kinds of signs and symbols for things in downtown that refer to streets, tourist attractions, places, and rules to follow – especially the one way street signs (there is not one in this…
Far (from Wiktionary) – Long. The top of the first hill during my lunchtime walk always seems to be so far away! Word for tomorrow – RANGE. If you prefer to work ahead, see the list for the week under “A Word A Day”. Next week’s list will be posted later. Join the challenge! Post daily…
