When looking for a blog link to share for last week's Monday Blogs tag on Twitter, I bumped into my Zazzle greeting cards featuring my feathered friends for my mother post, from last January and thought it might be fun to run those dozen photos through the Deep Dream Generator for a Sublime Sunday post...

Usually when I take pictures of amazing nature, I make a point of keeping non naturey things like houses, cars, lawn furniture and such out of the frame. However, to show how much snow Mother Nature dumped on us during yesterday's Nor'easter/bomb cyclone/blizzard event (geez, the weather people are getting dramatic with their verbiage...lol), I...

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 →

Just like last year, I'm posting a ghost story to participate in the @hivebuzz Halloween Trick or Treat badge. And again just like last year, I'm telling a tale from my days in the mid 1980s that I was a tour guide for the Hammond Castle. Yes, I grew up in a small town in... Continue Reading →

This past Tuesday, we got hit with an unexpected (at least, I didn't hear anything about it) Nor'easter.
