Day Sixty Seven 2013

T G I F ~ some randomness

Here comes the sun! If you click on this picture to enlarge it, you can see all the tiny sunbursts in the birdbath water, along with the sun’s glorious reflection. Pretty cool and totally accidental on my part.

Our birdbath hasn’t been cleaned out in a long time and contains a little eco system all its own. There are tiny bubbles in the water around that little feather (I think it’s a feather).

Our porches haven’t been cleaned off all winter, either. This is one of the rotting pumpkins from last Fall still sitting on the deck that will need to be scooped off with a shovel because it has turned to liquid. That should be fun.

The sun is new each day.

Watering can can’t water with a hole in the bottom.

All of our buttercups look like this ~ bowed down even in the bright sunlight. They bloomed way too early this year and have been beaten down by the recent snow.

You’re never too old to blow bubbles, which I did this afternoon, [even though the grand peeps weren’t around], just because they were still sitting out on the table where we left them earlier this week. Could not resist.

Little buttercup bud just can’t hold its head up ~ too weak from the cold and snow.

This little stone in our walkway commemorates the year we moved into this house ~ 30 years ago this month. Hard to believe I’ve spent half my life here.

We all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.

Good advice.
Happy TGIF, y’all! Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Day Three Hundred Thirty Three 2012

"Yea, I have looked, and seen November there;
The changeless seal of change it seemed to be,
Fair death of things that, living once, were fair;
Bright sign of loneliness too great for me,
Strange image of the dread eternity,
In whose void patience how can these have part,
These outstretched feverish hands, this restless heart?"
~William Morris,  November

Day Forty Seven 2012

 I love those who can smile in trouble,
who can gather strength from
distress, and grow brave by
reflection. 'Tis the business of little
minds to shrink, but they whose heart
is firm, and whose conscience
approves their conduct, will pursue
their principles unto death.
~Leonardo da Vinci

Cell Phone Camera Pix With Solaris Color Setting



The solaris color setting on my cell phone camera can give a photograph a painted or posterized look. These pictures are so small; it's hard to see the effect. Click on the pic to check out a larger size. Does your cell phone camera have a solaris color setting? Try it. It's neat.

Day Two Hundred Thirty One

Harbinger?


This little Maple leaf was floating in a birdbath in my yard yesterday afternoon. Looks like it has designs on Autumn already. I think it sailed in from a Maple tree that lives across the street. Her top most leaves can't seem to wait for Fall--my fave time of year, but hey, let's not rush it.
