I try not to be like everyone else, but it’s April and this week’s Photo Challenge is Color. What’s a girl to do? I intended to hit the tulip fields today and take close-ups of individual tulips in different colors, then run them in a circle gallery like the above. But it’s so cold andContinue reading “Last year’s tulips”

Who hates the snow? Honestly!
Every year, when snow is in the forecast, I hear murmurings (and read them on The Facebook and The Twitter) of “Oh, no, it’s going to snow. Oh, I hope it doesn’t snow!” I always think, “Seriously? I loooove the snow. How can you not love snow?” Saying you hate snow is like saying youContinue reading “Who hates the snow? Honestly!”
Trapped at my house with my two best friends
Seems like lots of people already are having cabin fever thanks to Snowpocalypse 2012: Pacific Northwest. Not me. Remember, I spent two straight weeks in a chair without going farther than 20 steps out the back door. We had Christmas lights on the front of the house for more than a week before I evenContinue reading “Trapped at my house with my two best friends”
Felt + Snow = Bad
The chronicles of inappropriate footwear continue. A few years ago, when I was shopping for the waders and boots I need for my job taking pictures while waist deep in rivers, I was under the impression I wanted felt-soled boots, to keep my feet from slipping on wet rocks. I have since recognized that rubberContinue reading “Felt + Snow = Bad”
My flagging cedar
We have a long driveway. One of my favorite features about my house (literally, one of my favorite things, I’ve said it out loud more than a few times) is that the branches of two cedar trees on either side of the driveway converge to create a canopy over the driveway. This creates shade, coolingContinue reading “My flagging cedar”
Still winter
We had a little snowfall last night And now for your moment of Zen:
Ch-ch-chains, chains of fools
As it turns out, my cute little car is crap in the snow. I miss my Honda CR-V for the first time since gas prices skyrocketed to $4-plus (oh, how smart I felt back then). It’s not a huge deal, as there aren’t many days when snow is on the ground around here. But I’veContinue reading “Ch-ch-chains, chains of fools”
Let it snow!
Closer to home
I’m sorry, little blog, how I’ve been neglecting you. That Facebook thing sure takes a lot of time. (Scrabulous, especially). Then there’s the processing of my India photos, which got sidelined last week as I actually tried to do my job. Here I am, working hard at my job. We haven’t had many of theseContinue reading “Closer to home”
Recurring theme
Yesterday, I took a look at my second novel(la), which I have retitled “Unbridaled.” Have decided all my works will be titled with homonymic plays on words. My first novel(la), “Czech Mate,” has a scene in which the heroine goes on a hike in the woods with her dude and is freezing cold, wet andContinue reading “Recurring theme”
