The Loneliness of An Empty Dog Bowl
This weekend, we said goodbye to the first of our three old dogs. The problem is all pets grow old, but I'm glad to have loved them.
Half and Half
So what happens when I go in the yard to take pictures? A miniature pinscher goes on full alert to guard me as I carelessly walk around the yard, oblivious to all the dangers that could be out in the street – like Mom’s pushing strollers and worst of all, old Grandma’s taking a walk…
Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day from one of my four-legged children, who gave me a card this morning with the most affectionate thing he could think of – “My Momma”. Yes, I’m his Momma and his reason for living. When I’m going in and out of the back door – say to use the grill – he…
2014 Word – Remember
As I worked on a post to discuss my “word” for 2015, I wanted to revisit and bring closure to last year’s word. The purpose of the “word” is to bring focus and clarity to my goals for the year. 2014 Word – Remember Last year’s word was remember – and what I…

Books Everyone Should Read – these are not necessarily my favorite…
Happy Thanksgiving!
It’s feeding time at the zoo, although the miniature pinscher is more intent on scratching himself than what’s happening at the sink with the food bowls! Have a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your food as much as my boys do. Do eat a little more slowly though and actually taste your food :)
Pears With Textures
For the final assignment in my close-up photography class, we were to take a photograph of something with four different textures. After a great deal of experimentation, I ended up four fairly boring pictures of a pear that we had. So, to make it more appealing to me, I ran it through Topaz Effects…
If I Had An Extra Hour. . .
Today’s question is – if I had an extra hour in the day, I would: Work on my photography skills Read Clean the house more frequently (it gets way too dirty for my tastes before we clean it again) I would not: Cook more – cooking once or twice a month works just fine for…
