My goals for today were to make my "about page" more irresistible by trying some of the ideas from Blogging 101, create a custom header, and get to bed before 10 pm so I could read my new mystery book. Unfortunately, none of those items got checked off my to-do list. Nope, none of them. Nada! So …
Recycling a robin
This morning the big blue recycling truck lumbered down our street, stopping at each house to collect the items placed at the curb for recycling. As a result, my post today involves recycling, but not that kind of recycling. Recently I read a suggestion that struck my fancy. The writer was encouraging photographers to search out and recycle old …
If you had joined me for my walk in the park today…
... You would have met Jessie and Joe. Even though their health, especially Jessie's, has declined since I first met them two years ago, they still take regular walks in the park. When I asked them for this photo opp, Jessie stepped away from the walker she now uses and they moved closer together. One of my joys …

Nikki’s celebration
On Sunday, May 31, 2015, Bob and I drove to Kent to celebrate Nikki's graduation from medical school (a much anticipated detour off my usual photo walking trail). The celebration, a fantastic brunch hosted by Nikki's parents, was held at the Pufferbelly, once an old RR station and now a superb place for lunch, brunch, and special celebrations! …

Sometimes they have the most comical expressions, and honestly, their behavior can be outrageous and sometimes downright risque. …
Sun’s up!
I took an early morning walk today. The sun was up but not for long, and I've become a convert! Why in the world have I been lazing in bed until 8 am when I could be up and out by 6:30? I don't have much time for blogging today (I've already used up hours …
Detour!
Today we took a detour. After my morning walk in the park, I left my usual trail behind and, at the invitation of friends, we drove to Kathy and Dean's house for the first cookout of the season. And what a magnificent cookout it was! Everybody contributed something to the meal, and we feasted, told stories, laughed, feasted …
