Something New and Different
Today at lunch, I decide to do a little maintenance on the blog….check things out, see what is what. I log in…..everything is lovely so I go to the site as I normally do to have a look see…to view it as you, my visitors, view it. Wait!! What the hell? What is going on? How come all the images are distorted? How come all the images look elongated and squished….how come they all look downright weird! What is going on here….what has happened? Oddly enough, no one answered me although my co-workers were looking at me with a little apprehension. 🙂 The only conclusion I could come to was when…

Back to School??
Today I received some very exciting news! A chance for my newly launched photography business to take off….a golden opportunity….the prospect of acquiring several new clients all at once….but at the same time, news that made me want to hurl my breakfast. Seriously….that bad. I have been thinking about this all morning and telling myself I would be crazy not to do this….crazy! And again….breakfast acts like it wants to make an appearance again ~ an appearance I would rather not experience. So I decide to send an email to my trusty assistant….aka my “seester”. (Some names or words have been changed to protect identities.) Guess what….”She” gave my cards to a school she does “business” for and they want…

I Did It!
Burning a bayberry candle from tip to socket puts luck in the home and gold in the pocket! Tradition holds that when one receives a bayberry candle as a gift from a friend, then burns the candle on New Year’s Eve (allowing the candle to burn itself out), then one will receive good luck, good health and much wealth. I did it….one year…..365 days! I completed my task ~ a post a day for an entire year. I started last year, Jan 1st, and for each day thereafter a post was up on this blog. Sometimes very early in the morning, sometimes just beating the clock that night. But there…

A Foot Or More
It began to snow around 3:30 Christmas day….snowed all that night and all the next day….hard. I haven’t seen it snow like this in quite some time. Today we woke up to almost blue skies and wind…..and this…. And this is what it looked like after a few hours of digging…..I needed a nap ~ and some defibrillators. 🙂

The One Where I Almost Choked To Death
This is me….celebrating my birthday and Christmas many years ago. I’m a Christmas baby. Earlier today, my older brother would say to me “wouldn’t it be weird if you died on the day you were born?” He had a reason for saying this to me. Let me go back a few hours….to around 1:30 when we sat down to Christmas dinner. I was sitting at the “adult” table with my sister, her husband, my younger brother, his wife and my step father. Dinner is served….everyone is digging in…and the conversation is flowing. I can’t tell you what we were discussing because a few bites into my meal I suddenly was having a…

Can It Be?
This was a quick shot of a section of my backyard… …taken through my sliding glass door after our last snow. Believe it or not ~ there is a good chance we will have a white Christmas this year! Not so typical around here….I’m quite excited. 🙂

Disappointing
This is not the Winter Solstice moon….this was taken six months ago during the Summer Solstice. Last night was a total lunar eclipse…total. The entire thing was visible and quite beautiful. But where are the images you ask….not there. None….notta. Why you ask….because our crystal clear night was not so much during the parts of the eclipse I saw. I went outside earlier and checked out the skies…so clear, so hopeful. From that time until the actual event, things changed. Our humidity has been high at night which can create hazy skies during the very early morning hours. While I could see the moon perfectly, the haze (or maybe it is that marine layer of…
