Hello World ~ It’s Been Awhile
Good time as any to dust this old blog off. 🙂 I – like many others across the globe – am practicing self isolation. Strange times require familiarity, doing things that I find comfort in. For me it can be different things on different days. On Thursday it was creating a new composite that had been rolling around in my head for some time. 🙂 The star of this new piece is my Survivor – dressed in her well worn formal wear, gas mask and no shoes. She walks unfamiliar landscapes – perhaps looking for hope. She will be part of a series I will be creating. Something In The…

Outside My Window ~ 4.06.2014
Outside my window…is a cool late afternoon in southeast Virginia. Plenty of sunshine, blue skies but not quite as warm as it was for the past couple of days. We have been see-sawing this spring….it rains or snows one day and then it warms up only to cool down to an unseasonable cool temperature. The cycle has been running that course for several weeks now. I think it is safe to say we have experienced our last frost, but I’m still not putting the plants out nor planting any seedlings yet. It was 45°F when I woke up this morning and I don’t believe it has broken the low 50’s…

Outside My Window ~ 2.26.2012
Outside my window…is cold ~ C-O-L-D! Right now it is 34°F and it feels bone chilling to me. We went from summer on Friday with a high of 80° to brrrrr chilly this evening. In between, we had wind ~ lots of it Friday evening and Saturday. This week will be hanging in the mid sixties, a little above average….and cold evenings. I am thinking…I really am liking the new camera. I’m still getting use to the feel and the weight….it is a comfortable camera to handle, ergonomically comfortable….much more so than my previous camera. I’m anxious to get the battery grip but I wanted to handle the camera alone…

Outside My Window ~ 1.2.2012
Outside my window…is on the way to a chilly night. We are currently at 35°F at about 10:30 this evening with a forecast low of 28°F. Tomorrow the forecast calls for winds at 19 mph and a forecast high of 38°F ~ which I’m betting it won’t feel that warm if the winds are blowing that hard. It was quite chilly and windy today as I took down the outside Christmas lights. All decorations are down now and up in the attic with the exception of the tree. I still have to get that put away but decided enough was enough this evening. Our temperature this week will gradually build…

Outside My Window ~ 12.11.2011
Outside my window…is a pretty frosty evening as we are closing in on 9:00 p.m.. We are currently at 33°F, which is also our forecast low for the evening. Today was sunshine and blue skies but fairly cool with only a high of 45°F. We will gradually build our way up to a high of 60°F by Thursday. I noticed on the weather channel the past couple of days that a lot of places that normally have plenty of snow have barely seen any this year….you wonder if they are going to have a mild winter….or if the worst is yet to come. We generally don’t see snow this early….we…
