That’s what cats do, they are always watching everything, except when they’re sleeping. But even then, sometimes you can catch them with one eye open. I took these photos with my phone recently during my morning meditation. They keep me company, sort of. Well, at least they’re quiet. Anyway, I enjoy watching them as they…
The world is full of problems and sometimes it seems like there’s nothing we can do. It can be overwhelming so sometimes we just look the other way – until it happens to us or someone we love. I know from personal experience the pain and suffering a family goes through when someone is suffering…
It was only the interior that was ornate, the rest of the mission property was beautiful but in a more simple and serene way. I prefered the grounds, which I will show in a future post. But what makes this mission truly special is it’s history which dates back to 1692 and the fact that…
Someone’s knocking at my door. What? On Halloween? This can’t be. Another knock? Sure enough, there are little children dressed in cute costumes. How can this be? It may be an annual tradition for others all around the country, but in this town where I live the tradition has been different. For as long as…
When my daughter and I made plans to drive out west from New Hampshire the first thing we both decided was that we had to see Niagara Falls. Neither of us had ever been, and even though we have seen many photos we wanted to check it out for ourselves. We thought it would be something…
Did you ever play this game, “Grandma’s Bag” when you were a kid? It goes something like this, “My Grandma’s going on a trip and I helped her pack her bag. I put a _________ in her bag.” The next person says the same thing but adds another object. It goes around the circle with…
Boundaries are good when they protect things from harm. There were many boundaries on our trip west that helped us feel safe or kept others safe. To see more photos on Boundaries go to: The Daily Post/photochallenge/boundaries
I just got back from a whirlwind cross-country drive with my daughter. I wanted to blog along the way but didn’t really have the time or means to do that. I barely managed to post on Facebook most days as our trip had a deadline – my flight home. We were also staying in the…
Sometimes creepy is fun, especially when creating creepy images. Not usually while dreaming, or waking up to a mad cat staring in my face. I’ve been prone to nightmares since childhood so I usually stay away from creepy stuff, but these were fun images to create back in the day when I was first playing…
It’s in your community; maybe down the street or a block away someone’s child goes missing. A young teen runs away and soon discovers that it’s not so easy to survive. Children lured by the glamor of money and the illusion that anything is okay are tricked into a demoralizing, painful and hopeless lifestyle. IF…
I’ve been a bit behind in terms of posting here lately, so today is catch up day. Sharing photos for last weeks WordPress Photo Challenge – Wall, and this weeks challenge – Fresh. Yes, two posts with one click. Somehow they fit well together, because I have to keep my Wall Fresh. I use the…
I used to live in Orange county, FL. My husband was born in Orange, NSW, AU, and his favorite color is orange. My favorite colors lean toward the other side of the color wheel. However, after living in New England for 20 years I’ve come to appreciate the color orange for its liveliness and warmth.…
