I've been working on frames and borders for my pictures. The compression makes the picture seem blurry and it is not really. Not at full size at least. This is the one thing I have really wan...

There is a steady rain today. If we have a break later I will run out back with my camera and take some pictures of the delicate white blossoms on the three decorative pear trees up there. Th...

Whoa. How did it get to be Friday already? I like the shapes in this picture I took a few days ago. First my work phone (it still isn’t working) and now my beloved personal laptop is acting w...

---

We had a break in the rain for part of the day today and the light has been shifting throughout from drizzle and heavy cloud cover to glorious sunbreaks and blue sky. The tulips are just coming...

---

It still is a wonder to me that the leaves do come back each year just in time to shade us from the more intense light. Or here, where light is often a rare commodity, shade us from the gloomy ...

---

We are returning here to a more normal weather pattern, which includes regular rain for the foreseeable future. I took this shot three weeks ago at our first birding class. It looks just like t...

---

On our third and final Beginning Bird II class yesterday we staged here at this mighty oak. You can tell it was a beautiful spring day just by the quality and quantity of the light. :) That mad...

---

Happy Equinox! Happy light at just the right angle. May you have something resembling light no matter what hemisphere you are in. I admit that I am a little restless about the fact that it stil...

---

So this morning much to my surprise because I am tired and worried about my sister this song started going through my mind... I have only heard it twice before so obviously it made an impression ...

---

This may look like a boring old late winter wetland field but on Saturday we saw the most amazing things in and over it. :) A pair of Northern Harriers (they used to be called Marsh Hawks) re...

---

Every day out there spring is barreling through. My bird feeder has gone quiet and it seems very early to me. The song birds are nesting. It still gets cold at night. Just a few days ago I was ...

---

Although I took this Sunday, this is exactly what it looks like outside right now. There is a cold glare filled fog sitting on us as the trees start the process of leaf bud. Generally though it...

---

We have a flood warning locally again tonight. Access to the first place we went to go birding this morning was under about 6 to 8 inches of water and I appeared to be the only person in the gr...

“If you hold onto the beauty and the inspiration and the clarity that is music you will have an anchor. In this life you will not be too far swayed by what the world is.” The pianist Van Clibur...

---

The interview at the Children’s Hospital went well. I need to get a background check, a TB test and have an additional interview with the main volunteer coordinator but I have been offered and ...

---

Yesterday evening Kes called to ask me a question about how my audio book download process works and the first thing I asked her was, “What is the evolutionary reason for insecurities?” She lau...

---

I think this is beautiful. This is the view looking back at our river this last Saturday morning with the new non-car bridge going up in the background. We haven’t seen anything but cloud cover...

---

Took this about 9am this morning. The temperature was just at freezing. But what I like is the lack of the rain and the remarkable light. Any light is remarkable and within a half hour the clou...

---

There is a rumor circulating around these parts that it may in fact stop raining for a few days. I am not complaining mind you, we need it, the droplets make the deep purple of the crocus shine...

---

Checking to see how this washed out photo taken with my phone earlier today translates here. Just after I snapped it the rain started again. It was just lovely to spend time with Kes and Most...

---

This picture is a mood piece that indicates how I am feeling right now. Pared down to the bare structure of things. Cold and bone weary of winter, old and, honestly, a bit worn out. So it is gr...

---

I just got back from my first fast walk around the track in over a week! So nice to be out and about and breathe fresh air. Sammy is a little disconcerted. He liked having me around to pester ...

---

This was ice in the trees out front yesterday evening. We are above freezing now and starting to thaw. There are huge piles of dirty snow and slush everywhere and the buses can’t get near the ...

---

Yesterday afternoon the beautiful easy to be out and about in (on foot, sled, snowboard, and skies) snow started to get pelted with freezing rain and now we are living in Ice World. I just rec...

---

I’ve worked at the same place in three different jobs on and off since 2001 and they have never actually closed the nonessential care departments for a weather related event until today. We are...
