Happy Halloween and Samhain blessings to everyone! As I've done for the past couple of years, I posted a ghost story on Hive to participate in HiveBuzz's Halloween Trick or Treat badge, and thought I'd share it here as well. And in keeping with a sort of theme, I'm again sharing a spooky tale from... Continue Reading →

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 →

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. After our boy headed out to drive... Continue Reading →

Yes, it's Friday. I actually had this post about ninety percent done yesterday morning - I'd gone out first thing to get some photos of the trees at dawn, then had a rare couple of hours of quiet to edit the pictures and get things ready to post. But then distractions popped up (in the... Continue Reading →

Back on November 11th, I was all set to get this reminder of a childhood tree post done on both my WordPress and Hive blogs, since this is a bloghop hosted by my WP blogging friend and it was supposed to be the next edition. However, not too long before I was ready to publish... 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. 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. Two weeks ago there wasn't enough of a color difference to warrant revisiting the woods, so I did a throwback post instead. For this edition, not only did I get... Continue Reading →
