“Colorful Cold Sunset” I am making up here for Wednesday’s photo that eluded me. The weather on Thanksgiving eve was just plain nasty. Here is Lewes it was wet and cold and gray. Fortunately we did not have any freezing precipitation, like was the case just a little bit north of us. Nonetheless, the day was not pretty; there were definitely no colorful scenes to be photographed. In my current lack of creativity I couldn’t think outside the box so…
“Amaryllis” There were no dramatic skies in Texas on Saturday. It was gray, rainy, and just plain yucky. The only dramatic anything in our world this day was the blooming amaryllis.
“Perseverance” After a morning rehearsal, I “took the day off.” I didn’t do anything today that resembles work in any way…no work for school and no household chores. Right now this feels really good. Tomorrow when I have to do laundry and prepare for school next week, I may be sorry for my day of irresponsibility, but right now I am feeling pretty darn good! It was cold and wet here today. I didn’t have much inspiration or much incentive…
“Time To Zip Up” Our 80 degree temperatures of today are going to become freezing temperatures over the next couple of days.

He always had a vegetable garden and he always had houseplants. When he retired from the Navy and moved back to Delaware, he went to work for…
“Chaos and Calm” My life right now is an equal dose of chaos and calm. There is nothing in between.
“Looking Up” I did’t see much sun on my path today, but I was struck by the sun coming through the tree in our neighbor’s from yard.
“Great Grate” My brain was quite tired tonight. I had no idea what to shoot today and not much energy with which to think about it. As Weber and I were driving through town on our way to dinner, I was looking for anything that had even the least bit of interest in its lines. We passed the library and I decided that would do. Since this is where Brooke works, it also has a bit of personal significance. The…
“A Bridge Over Calming Waters”
“Falling Sun” Even now, before the time change, there is not much good natural light left when I get home from school. I love everything about fall, except the shorter days. I got this one right before the setting sun dipped below the horizon.
