She Smiled At Me
Monday…. Very rainy and cloudy…. No hope…. Too many clouds…. I knew she was up there…. Full and beautiful… “Wait” she said…. The clouds parted…. And she smiled at me……

Green Eyes
My neighbors cat doesn’t like cameras. The cat will come up to you, rub on your legs and even let you pet it. Pull out a camera ~ she is gone. I snuck around the corner one day and got this image with my zoom lens through the fence……she never knew. 🙂

Scenes From My Backyard
I sat in my little backyard yesterday for a bit. I had lots to do….but it was a nice morning, and I decided to sit for a little while and take some practice shots. I had filled the bird feeders and sat quietly in a corner of the yard….if you feed them, they will come. 🙂 This little guy was quite curious….almost to ask why I wasn’t leaving….you filled the bird feeders, time to leave human…. I don’t know the name of the tree this Blue Jay is sitting in, but I loved how the the little seed pods added a little decoration to the background. Those seed…

One Gray Day
What started off as a sunny day has turned gray….. thunderstorms tonight with rain and wind tomorrow. I like gray days sometimes.

Welcome To Denver
The Mile High City….Denver, Colorado….land of promise and dreams for myself and my then boyfriend. Thirty three years ago, the view of the city and the Rocky Mountains took our breath away as we drove in from the east. We had taken our time getting here…but the closer we got, the more anxious we were. The lure was a new adventure….the mountains, it was the reason we came. It was our dream to see them…..to hike in them…..to backpack in them. We were finally here. We contacted our friend from Virginia and found his house in Denver. He had generously offered his home to us until we could find our own…

It’s Spring!!
For all of us in the northern hemisphere, March 20th marks the Vernal Equinox, the beginning of Spring. This is one of the two days each year when the night and daylight hours are virtually equal. The other happens in September. This is a time of rebirth and celebration as the earth awakens from her winter slumber, flowers and trees bloom and the temperatures begin to warm the ground and our bodies. Of course, all of us who suffer from allergies will be sneezing a bit more and in between the spring rains everything will be covered with pollen….but Skippity Doo Dah ~ it’s getting warm again folks!! 🙂 It all happens at 1:32 p.m. EDT….let the celebrations begin!!

Photos & Little Letters
Dear People Who Text While You Drive, Are you kidding me? If you are that anxious to wreck your car, there are plenty of walls you could run in to and it wouldn’t damage any other cars in the process. Dear Spam Commenter, While I’m happy you think my post on a local park “sounded delicious”, or you must “disagree with my political views” when I post a recipe…I’m still not going to approve your comment and help you sell your wares. Dear Townhouse Landscapers, I really wish you wouldn’t blow all the debris from the parking lot into the flower beds I spent hours cleaning or all over our vehicles. It is…

Happy St Patrick’s Day + 200
Welcome St. Patrick’s Day 2010. I believe in a previous life I must have lived, loved and died in Ireland. I don’t believe there is a single place on this planet that I have wanted to set foot on more than the Emerald Isle, or Eire. The land calls to me…..and when I look at images, especially older ones like the one above, it feels so familiar. ~ Sigh ~ Perhaps one day I will wander the hills and shores…..and know this is home. There are so many things associated with St. Patrick’s Day….green being the number one thing that comes to mind. Always had to wear green to avoid being pinched. I…
