When I set off this morning, my destination was the dentist's office for my semi-annual checkup; however, as my dentist's office is over halfway to the arboretum, I thought to myself, "Why not?" As in why not go to the arboretum after the teeth-cleaning routine is over and done? So that is what I did, …
Searching for my photo mojo
Much has happened to interfere with my photoblogging over recent months. The illness of my sister (and friend) Marjorie for one thing. I just returned earlier this week from her memorial service in Florida. It has been an unusual summer with much to distract me from my photo walks. I did capture a few pictures …
