Nature inspires me! It is my sanctuary and my refuge, the place where I meet God.
I find water, rocks and cactus to be very natural abstract forms. Water is always intriguing, changing form and affecting everything it touches. Rocks are just amazing in the diversity of shape, size, color and texture that they come in. And cactus are just mystifying. What a strange world we live in; it’s all abstract…
This week I am combining themes. Landscape from the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge and Refreshing from Where’s My Backpack’s Weekly Travel Theme. These two ideas fit perfectly with my current mood and thoughts. The recent trip to Arizona still fresh in my mind, while here in New Hampshire the weather is drizzly, and has moved…
On my trip west last Fall, one of my favorite parts was viewing the sunsets. Especially in southern New Mexico and Arizona where these photos were taken. It seemed like there was never a place to stop, so these photos were taken with my phone while my daughter (or her now husband) were driving. My…
I await the vibrant colors of spring. Not only colors, but everything is energized when winter fades and new life blooms. The air becomes vibrant and sweet. For more posts on VIBRANT go to: https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/vibrant/
You never know what Autumn will be like here in always unpredictable New Hampshire. Will we have an Indian summer? When will the first frost come? Will it be a rainy or dry season? will the colors be vivid and how long will they last? How long can we hold out before turning on the…
Most of the desert bush seems like fray, especially from a distance. These flower clusters in the rocks caught my eye because of the contrast of the striking colors among the fray of vegetation and rock. For more Fray click here.
Every spring a little patch of red and yellow tulips pop up in my backyard. I didn’t plant them, perhaps it was the previous owner. Regardless of the years, the weeds, the fall leaves that never get raked in that part of the yard, they manage to find their way through. This year I found…
It snowed a bit last night, or was it the night before? One snowfall runs into the next and it’s hard to remember as the days and weeks go by. I get tired of the snow, but I never tire of it’s beauty. How can something that causes so much trouble and pain be so…
I took so many photos at the zoo that I couldn’t post them all at once, so I decided to break it into 3 parts. It was a nice day, warm but not hot. The zoo was busy but not overcrowded. Perfect really. So here’s part 2: There were a lot of exhibits under renovation,…
Here they are blooming away! All that heat and rain last week worked it’s magic and the little beauties started popping on Monday. I decided to wait a couple days to catch some full blooms. This is one bush with crazy long branches so they are all over the place. I hope you enjoy them…
It was so hot, sweat trickled down as our bodies moved slowly and our breath became labored… No, not that kind of hot! I mean it was 95 degrees in the shade with 100% humidity on Saturday as we visited our daughter at Union College this past weekend. The weather was one of those drastic…
Some of you might remember my rose photos from last year as I documented the two or three buds as they bloomed until they reached their prime in a vase. I was so pleased with their beauty and perfect shape. My mother had given me that rose bush a few years ago and it didn’t…
