This Morning
Some sights from my morning….. Sometimes there are no words.

Zero
I like this. I’m tired tonight. I like this too…. A little fun with Topaz. Goodnight.

Saying Goodbye…With Chocolate
Tomorrow we will say goodbye to the Associate Director of Finance in my department….he is my boss, the man above my supervisor. It was kind of sudden….we didn’t even know he was considering it until about a month ago. He told us yesterday during his farewell luncheon the stars aligned and things fell into place ~ the time was right. At 65, he is looking forward to watching many sunrises and sunsets with his wife at his beach house in Nags Head. This week his smile has grown bigger and brighter each afternoon when it is time to leave. To send him off just right ~ I made brownie bites with cream cheese frosting…..they made him smile…

From time to time you will hear them doing exercises….it could be a bit unsettling if you were not expecting the sound of weapons exercises. And on several occasions helicopters will fly down the river heading back to the base. This shot was taken with my Canon point and shoot last year about this time. I adjusted and processed the image in Lightroom and Topaz, finally resizing and watermarking in PSE7. This is one of the images I didn’t think I could use…

Outside My Window ~ 9.19.10
Outside My Window…is a beautiful morning…again. At 11:15, the temperature is 75ºF with blue skies and sunshine….again. Our forecast high today is 83ºF with sunshine all day long….zero chance of rain….again. I’m sure those of you have have experienced a wet summer, or even a different season, have a hard time understanding how very tired I am of the heat and lack of rain. I love sunshine….but I also love rain too. I love to sit and listen to the rain, I love to walk or run in the rain. I like to have a nice combination of the two…sunny days, rainy days. The surplus of rain we gained last fall has long…

Afternoon Visitor
I was sitting in the backyard one afternoon recently when I was joined by this little guy. He was quite brave….. ….or very hungry.

Growth
This plant was just sticks coming out of the soil when I put it outside this summer. It came back to life sitting outside…. I love it when that happens.
