    Working

    I have spent most of the afternoon working on different things.  The morning was shot for the most part after I woke up about 3:00 a.m. with a migraine…at the time it felt like a world ending one too.  Medication was taken and to ensure total darkness my lavender/calendula eye pillow was placed over my eyes as I waited for it to pass…which it did….and the world didn’t end.  🙂 After one of these, my day is generally low key.  One of the things I have been working on today are pages for my often neglected Facebook page for Magikal Folk Photography.  If you click over for a visit, please…

    Time For A Change

    Once again, Outside My Window is being delayed by a day….something that seems to happen more frequently than I like lately.  There was a time when that post would be one of the first things I did on a Sunday…..now it has been pushed back to the last thing I do ~ and that isn’t working.  It never fails that I run out of time on Sunday evenings…time for a change. In the meantime….getting my feet wet with the new camera this week. The settings are different from my previous camera so there are a few things to learn….and it handles a little differently so there is that.  Here are…

    And another one…

    Happy Birthday William & Mary… 319 years old. “On February 8, 1693, King William III and Queen Mary II of England signed the charter for a “perpetual College of Divinity, Philosophy, Languages, and other good Arts and Sciences” to be founded in the Virginia Colony.
