Happy Second Day of Spring! Yesterday was the Spring Equinox, so naturally Mother Nature decided to celebrate with a Nor'easter. The predictions ranged from 1-3 inches, to 3-5 inches - at the moment, it's still snowing and there's easily 6-7 inches out there right now. Also, Melissa Ford over at Stirrup Queens pointed out that... Continue Reading →
FF – I heart Foto Friday 2
I like the idea of Foto Friday so much, I'm back with Foto Friday 2! While I don't plan to turn Fandom Fridays into Foto Fridays exclusively, for the time being, this is a great excuse way to share some of the gazillion pictures I've been taking with my new camera. These were all taken... Continue Reading →
WW – Ostara 2016
Spring is springing! Of course, this coming weekend has a different "S" word in the weather predictions, thanks to an approaching Nor'easter, so much like my ritual last year, my Ostara 2016 celebration will be a simplified (and probably indoor) affair. In brief - I'll spend some time (hopefully before the weekend, but knowing me,... Continue Reading →

MM – Cute critter captures
Last Tuesday (March 1st), I was out in the woods behind our place, playing with my new camera. On my way back inside, I spotted a critter. It was on a rock, next to the wood pile in the yard that sits about 50-60 feet away from the house. After it posed for a picture,... Continue Reading →
FF – I heart my Dad’s old cameras
Since I've been so vocal over the past week or so about my love for my new camera, I thought I'd take a moment to profess my adoration for my late father's old cameras. This past Sunday (February 28th) I decided to tackle the ever growing pile of stuff next to my computer desk. Naturally,... Continue Reading →
WW – Dark Pisces Moon and Solar Eclipse
Next week, not only do we have a Dark Pisces Moon (also known as the New Pisces Moon), but we also get a Solar Eclipse. Oh, and since this new /dark moon is at the closest point to Earth during its monthly trip around the block (called the perigee) it also qualifies as a Supermoon,... Continue Reading →

It got here in plenty of time for me to have fun shooting the full moon, and even... Continue Reading →
WW – Happy birthday Sybil Leek
I've bought so many books in my lifetime that it's near impossible to remember each individual purchase. A few stand out in my memory - the acquisition of Scott Cunningham's Guide for one. My first Harry Dresden for another. Then there's the one by "Britain's most famous witch", the one and only Dame Sybil Leek,... Continue Reading →
