“Disco Leaf” Nothing says unpredictable like the combination of me and a Lensbaby. And, thank you Jim for sending the photo of the Virgin America plane that reminded us all of those disco days. Just the mention of “You Should Be Dancing” sent me right back to the seventies:-) I’m not sure that’s a good thing:-)
“Purrfect Pals” There is no shortage of furry companions around our house. There was, however, a shortage of those furry companions willing to be photographed today. I managed this candid shot of Brooke and Frankie. The cat loves it in the evening when everyone settles down and she can find a cozy spot next to someone where there is the real possibility of a little attention…but not too much. Frankie did not want to sit on Brooke’s lap, or even…
“Just Four Fun”
“Endings and Beginnings” I struggled with today’s photo. I have admitted recently that I am in a creative rut, but it was more than that. I sat for awhile trying to think about something that I could photograph. Coming up with nothing, I thought a little more about final stages, about the end. I realized that the source of my difficulties is that I don’t really believe in absolute endings, but rather changes that spark new beginnings. Endings and beginnings,…
“Comfort Food” The suggestion with today’s prompt was to photograph a can of soup. Nothing says comfort like chicken noodle or tomato soup, right? But, after photographing oatmeal yesterday as my lame response to home cooking, there was no way that I was going to photograph a can of soup today. Chicken and sausage jambalaya was on the menu tonight…from scratch! It was warm and hearty and comforting. Since the intention of today’s prompt was to challenge ourselves to…
“Oatmeal for Dinner” I am truly chuckling as I post today’s photo…of cooking from scratch??? I do enjoy cooking …from scratch. I do cook most of our meals…from scratch. Today just didn’t happen to be one of those days. After church this morning we had a fantastic lunch with a group of our most treasured friends. Lunch was delightful and filling. When dinnertime rolled around, neither of us was particularly hungry. Finally I decided that I should eat something…and oatmeal…
“Sleepy Boy” Our boy likes to talk – mostly about food. He also likes to tell us how happy he is when we get home, which usually takes at least an hour. He likes to talk to the critters outside. He also likes to tell us how much he loves us. When he finally finds his quiet place, the rest of us can also enjoy a quiet place.
“Making Memories of Pumpkin Bread” At this time of year my mom always used to make pumpkin bread, a favorite treat of mine. When I got married (the first time) she copied by hand many of my favorite recipes from my childhood (and of few of her favorites that have never made it on to my favorites list). For many years, I pulled the card for the pumpkin bread straight out of the box and used it as it was,…
