• Thomas F. Burke birdhouse display
  on May 29, 2013
  A couple of Sundays ago, I caught a news piece on one of my favorite shows, CBS Sunday Morning. In it, they were reporting on a display of birdhouses created by former architect, Tom Burke. The display of 21 homes for the birds can be found along the...
• Randomness
  on May 23, 2013
  Here I am, comfortably ensconced in my seat on the couch. I have my legs up on a pillow that’s on top of the coffee table and my laptop on top of a pillow on my lap. I let the cat out about five minutes ago and had just uploaded three photos into t...
• I can’t keep it to myself any longer: on the use of it’s and its
  on May 20, 2013
  Every time I see it, I cringe inwardly. And then I quickly get over it because there are bigger things in life, and besides – the misuse of it’s and its is such a common error. But there are people out there who don’t get over it so quickly, an...
• Tears and fears and feeling proud
  on May 18, 2013
  It’s Saturday afternoon and the clouds have taken over but I don’t mind. They suit my mood and frankly, I think some rain would be lovely. I spent the day doing some badly-needed spring cleaning and have the sore muscles to prove it.  But at...

  on May 14, 2013
  Late Sunday afternoon, I poured a cocktail, grabbed my camera and the long lens, and took a camp chair own to the fence line to sit by one of the bluebird boxes where I’d seen some action going on. I wasn’t out there very long, so I didn’t cap...

• Ode to Saturday
  on May 11, 2013
  It’s Saturday – glorious Saturday. And I couldn’t resist one more picture of the lilacs from this season. They’ve been finished for about two weeks now, but I can remember them just by visiting the folder where I keep their images. I was busy...
• The legend that is Vivian Maier
  on May 9, 2013
  I first heard of Vivian Maier a couple of years ago while watching the evening news, but it wasn’t until today when I came across a link on Facebook about a documentary coming out this year on her life and the discovery of her work that I really be...
• From my experience, it just doesn’t seem to make sense
  on May 6, 2013
  I had a weekend that was full of ups and downs. I went to Baltimore with my son on Saturday morning in a rented U-Haul to pick up a sofa that I purchased from my niece. It’s a nice piece and only a couple of years old and I had hoped to replace our...
