I'd swear that maybe two seconds ago, it was about to be the new year and now all of a sudden, we're over three weeks into 2022. I'll admit I've been in a bit of a funk over the past few decades years months weeks, but now I'm trying to shake it off and finally... Continue Reading →

When I first saw the Photography Lovers End of Year Contest Announcement post over on Hive, I knew two things - I'd have to enter my favorite shots from 2021, and given how many photos I've taken over the past twelve months, it would be tough to pick my favorites. I decided to do like... Continue Reading →

In a lot of ways, it doesn't feel like Christmas will be here in less than a week. However, Mother Nature decided it was high time she decorated for the holidays, so yesterday afternoon she started in with the fluffy white stuff & didn't stop until this morning.

This past Tuesday, we got hit with an unexpected (at least, I didn't hear anything about it) Nor'easter. After a handful of power flickers & cable outages, we quickly realized the intense rain storm was a bit out of the ordinary. We were very lucky that even though the one of the biggest power outages... Continue Reading →

For my last Sublime Sunday post at the beginning of the month, I shared some rainbow photos. This time around I thought I'd share some of the bazillion photos I took of the recent full moon on October 20th, 2021 and run a couple of them through the Deep Dream Generator again - hence the...

Four weeks ago, I did a Thursday Tree Love post showing some little bits of autumn color peeking out in the woods behind our house.
