Have you ever thought about how inaccurate that phrase is? The rainy day grays would be a better description in my opinion. Sitting at my computer this afternoon, I glance out the window above me, and what I see is gray, not blue. Gray is the color of rainy days, and a very accurate description …
Feeling helpless
Helplessness is... ...Seeing an injured doe struggling to walk across the meadow... ...and knowing there's nothing I can do to help her. For the record Weather: The air was cool, but the evening light was soft and lovely. Exercise: I walked 1.7 miles, but forgot to record my steps. Whoops! Thanks for stopping by. Carolyn …
Evening walk
It was a great time for a walk in the park. The air was cool, but the late evening light was warm. Thanks for stopping by. I enjoyed sharing my evening walk with you. Skip aka Carolyn On its own, a blog is a monologue. If you leave a comment, it becomes a conversation. I would …
Birds in the bog
A Banner Day for Birds
It’s spring migration time!

For the record Great weather today with sunny blue skies and a high temperature …
My Nikon is my mentor
It was in December 2013 that I initiated my Friday Faces project. I don't post one every Friday, and I took quite a few weeks off this past winter, but since this first Friday Face and the two I posted today, April 17, 2015, I have posted the faces of 38 different people. Each time I gather the …
A glorious day!
I can't think of a better title for today's blog post. A sunny, blue sky with a high temperature that hovered around 80 degrees. I couldn't dream of a more beautiful day. As you've probably noticed, I have a penchant for walking and taking pictures, and as this was the perfect day for doing both, …
