Serenity Sunday: Iris intimacy
More of our white iris blossoms appeared last week and, after a light rain lasting several hours, I went out for a closer look at one of them. The still-overcast sky and the lack of any breeze combined to provide … Continue reading
Webnesday (27)
While in northern Minnesota last week, looking at the new growth on one of our maple trees, I found this tiny crab spider lurking near the stem and apparently waiting hopefully for some very small insect to think it worth … Continue reading
Tweaking Tuesday: Iris and stonecrop
For my second installment in this new series, I’m offering a new image that’s a small step farther beyond the “normal” than most others that I’ve posted recently. I’ve not added anything that was not there when I made the … Continue reading
Dear Dottie
I’m pleased to introduce Dottie…or maybe Nellie, the new dog we’ve taken under our wings for foster care. She was transferred to the Nebraska Humane Society from a sister organization in Oklahoma. No one seems to be really sure about … Continue reading
Bejeweled beauty

Tweaking Tuesday debut
In response to a comment by one of my earliest blogging buddies, Adrian, that he made in response to my last post, this is the inaugural publication of a new category. I am fond of experimenting with digital tools and, … Continue reading
Tiger Eyes abstract
Something a little different this morning: Here are some fresh leaves sprouting on our Tiger Eyes sumac (Rhus typhina ‘Bailtiger’). As you see, I’ve been having some abstract fun with it with some Nik software and a couple of Photoshop … Continue reading
Webnesday (25) [Warning: NOT a cutie!]
As I mentioned at the end of yesterday’s post, I’m afraid that the second of my new images here may not appeal very much to those of you who are not among the smaller group of avid spider fans, so … Continue reading
