One of my favorite days of the year simply because our Earth deserves public recognition and celebration. The first time I celebrated Earth Day was in 1970 with my friends, on the side of a garbage strewn road, picking up trash. I learned from my parents about conservation, preservation and appreciating our earth; and that left…
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.…
This one is hard for me, I’m not the competitive type. A minor achievement in the scheme of things, I won 2nd and 3rd place (or was it 1st and 3rd, I can’t remember) in the NH State Flower photo contest a few years ago. I never enter contests, but I had just been out…
I would like to start taking more photos in a minimal style, they lend themselves to emotional expression. I have not really focused on this style before so I wasn’t sure if I had any photos to fit this theme, but glancing through my media files I see that there are some I have posted…
Sometimes I forget what a rural state I live in, being only 45 minutes north of Boston and living in New Hampshire’s Queen City. However, Autumn is my favorite time of year here and it’s the best time of year to get out of town and enjoy the states scenery. The leaves are only beginning…
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.
Contrasts – Weekly Photo Challenge So much to see and so little time. I was so interested in the history of this religious movement and their innovative lifestyle that I forgot to take a lot of photos. The Shaker’s believed in creating an ideal world where God’s love could be experienced through their lifestyle and…
Spring has been lovely but summer has arrived with bright sunny hot days and bees, lots of bees and bugs of every kind. Bees are cute, and most of the time harmless little creatures. Busy doing what they do to keep the world turning with everything in order. Just don’t get in their way. Their…
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…
