UNNATURALLY ODD

Not One of Nature’s Oddities In a brusque departure from my usual squirrels and birds, we got a new stove today. Our old one, after about 13 years -- maybe longer; I don't remember except my father was still alive, so it was more than 12 years ago -- lost its thermostat on top and … Continue reading UNNATURALLY ODD

RIVER REFLECTIONS

A Photo a Week Challenge: Reflection Sometimes, the reflections in the water is so sharp, it looks more "real" than the non-reflection above it.

CHECKING IN WITH MYSELF – BY ELLIN CURLEY

I haven’t written an introspective blog in a long time. I’ve written about things that have happened in my own life and stories about other members of my family.

A DEEP GREEN SUMMER – GARRY ARMSTRONG

It was the first day in a couple of weeks that wasn't too hot and humid to breathe, so we went with out our cameras. I have a not-quite-new, but not-much-used-yet camera, a bright yellow Pentax Q7 which Marilyn got for me before they disappeared from the market. We went down the road to where … Continue reading A DEEP GREEN SUMMER – GARRY ARMSTRONG

REFLECTIONS IN A FROZEN RIVER

PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE THURSDAY'S SPECIAL: REFLECTION Not surprisingly, I have many pictures where reflections are the primary focus of the picture. I wanted, as Paula suggests, to use something a little different, at least different for me. With that in mind, I selected pictures of the partly frozen Blackstone River, the reflections of the trees and … Continue reading REFLECTIONS IN A FROZEN RIVER

NOVEMBER ON WHITINS POND

Just when I thought the glorious fall was over for good and all, we had yet one perfect afternoon in mid November. The pond is full again. The rains came and filled it. While the swans have been absent, mallards seem to be everywhere. Maybe they are taking advantage of the absence of the swans to … Continue reading NOVEMBER ON WHITINS POND
