The Lamp Cord
We traveled to Ohio during the Christmas holiday to visit family and friends and stayed in three different hotels on our trip.
The very first night in a hotel I took my camera and captured different objects around the room. I almost always do that when traveling and have used quite a few of those photographs on my site. Oddly, that first night is the only time I took any photographs of the...read more ❯
Reflecting On A Heat Wave
One of my recent weekly challenge images was a photograph of my vehicles tachometer. At the bottom of that gauge there is an outside temperature reading.
The reading for that day was 109 degrees F.
As I was cropping and processing that photograph there was an “Arctic Blast” covering a large portion of the northern and eastern United States, The United Kingdom and several other European...read more ❯

Twas The Day Of The New Year
Twas the day of the new year and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even my spouse.
The New Year’s Resolutions were already made
The bills from this past Christmas already paid.
My spouse was all comfy snuggled up in the bed
While snoring so loudly it really hurt my poor head.
When there in the kitchen while making my tea
I dropped the pot and it hit my...read more ❯
Twas The Day After Christmas
Twas the day after Christmas and all through the town
People were working to take Christmas trees down.
The lights and the garland that hung all around
By noon they were all laid out on the ground.
The women were standing in lines at the store
Returning the gifts from the people next door.
While Mama returned gifts, as I took a nap
I dreamed she went mad and returned my...read more ❯
A Great Site For Art Supplies
Blick Art Materials has always been a trusted name in the art world, and many artists, have relied on their products for years. I remember one time, my friend told me, while working on a detailed landscape piece, she decided to try out a set of watercolours that she had heard so much about. The first stroke of the brush felt different—the pigments blended beautifully, creating the depth and...read more ❯
Software Revelation
Two weeks ago I wrote about purchasing and using new photographic software. At that time I used a few commands in the new software that I had used in the older version so I didn’t use any new commands or learn anything new.
Earlier this week I worked on this week’s challenge image and thought that I would try something I had never done before. The image showed the cards of a Royal Flush in...read more ❯
