I Had to Look This One Up!


I'll admit that for the Weekly Photo Challenge I had to look up the word "ephemeral" and when I did found this:  "something short-lived, lasting but a moment".  The first pictures that came to mind were the ones taken of me rather than by me.  These two are among some of my recent favorites and … Continue reading I Had to Look This One Up!

Serenity


One of the times when I feel "serene" is just after a snowstorm, the deeper the snow, often the more serene.  Everything feels clean, quiet, and peaceful; if that's not serenity, I don't know what is!

Twinkle, Twinkle


When I was growing up we had the bigger, primary colored lights on our tree and on the bushes around the house.  My favorites now are white lights. I'd keep them up year-round if I could, I love how they twinkle!  This picture is Christmas tree 2014.  The smaller photos around the edge are highlighting the ornaments … Continue reading Twinkle, Twinkle

Last Days of Summer


I didn't have as much time to spend in the hammock this summer as maybe I would have liked, but the beauty of my last snooze-fest is undeniable!  Some might even call it Dreamy; this week's photo challenge topic! Check out these Dreamy photos from other bloggers: Dreamy: Landscape on the Horizon In Dreams... Weekly Photo … Continue reading Last Days of Summer

Humanity of Children


My picture for this week's photo challenge is of my grandchildren.  The first summer they were living with us they found a bird's nest on the ground in our yard.  There was one baby that seemed viable and the kids wanted to take care of it.  Since Grandpa had cared for other birds and small critters, we … Continue reading Humanity of Children

Zig Zag Climber


The weekly photo challenge this week made me think of my grandkids and when they lived with us.  On Saturday mornings we had a bit of a ritual: breakfast, SpongeBob, and then either to the library or to the local YMCA for some fun in the playroom.  While the kids were in the playroom I'd … Continue reading Zig Zag Climber

Round 2: Summer Lovin’ Photos


I so liked the weekly photo challenge from Friday that I thought I'd share some more of why I love summer.  Our garden has given us an amazing and bountiful harvest and will continue to well into the fall.  We've shared with neighbors, family, coworkers, friends, and I'm sure there is so much more to … Continue reading Round 2: Summer Lovin’ Photos

Eleanor, Daddy, Mommy


I know that today's photo prompt is "Relic" and while these pictures of my new great-niece and her momma and daddy, I had to post them.  The creator of Instagram gets my thanks today.  It's the best way for me to get a good look at this little angel who lives a plane ride away!  … Continue reading Eleanor, Daddy, Mommy

Photo Challenge: Betweens


I took this one a few weeks ago.  I thought I was taking a bit of a short cut home but it turned out to be not so short.  It's on of the first things that popped into my head when I read the prompt for the Weekly Photo Challenge: ...capture something between two things, … Continue reading Photo Challenge: Betweens

Beyond the Smile (Weekly Photo Challenge-2)


This is one of my favorite pictures of Kash, our grandson, when he lived with us.  He was out for the day with Aunt Sue and Uncle Paulie, at the Crescent Park Carousel.  He had such a blast!  The little extra detail in this photo is the unhappy face on his t-shirt character; it was so … Continue reading Beyond the Smile (Weekly Photo Challenge-2)
