It's June!


And the passage of time hits me in the face again!  However, I am delighted to be able to post a photo or two that have no snow anywhere in the images!

I am officially on my summer break.  My desk is cleaned off, files are in their place (for the most part), photo frames have come home so I can update them over the summer, and I have spent a couple of days doing pretty much whatever I wanted!  The weather is beautiful.   And my weeds are doing VERY well!

So now it is time to catch up with all those who have followed me in the past, and those who would like to share my world moving forward.  This year has been very introspective, and I am trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up.  There have been exciting excursions, excitement and heart ache - all the natural growing pains a person who works full time and has a busy and active family might experience.  I used to think that once the "children" were out of the house and on their own that life would get calmer.  Well...sometimes it is. :)

Here is hoping everyone is well and happy and fully engrossed in their lives.  I am looking forward to catching up on photos and stories, and sharing a few of my own.

Happy Summer!

June indeed -- and almost half gone. It seemed to take so long getting here and now poof!

Enjoy your break, Sandy. It's such a gift to be in charge of your time, isn't it? Perhaps we'll end up connecting!

Happy Week- being home and loving photography

Roamin Meets the GPS- Stories from the Road Lisa, my favorite Curious Girl , created a wonderful idea for a week of "happy" posts. Share those things which make you happy, bring joy to your life, and generally fill you with happy thoughts (I do love the movie Hook , with Robin Williams). We are just returned from our fabulous 23-day, 5600 mile, 10 state, 4 time-zone adventure, and I am filled with happy thoughts today. I am also aware of the piles of laundry, the dirty car, the grocery shopping, and the weary body. Those are not the things I'll share today! Today it's about the joy of road-tripping. The miracle that we live in such a country that everywhere you go you see something to celebrate. I love driving down the road and seeing something new, or different, or unexpected. We drove for a very long time across the upper mid-west, while following signs for "Wall Drugs." Apparently this is a historic stop, originally a place for those who crossed the coun...

A Blast from the Past

Very hard to photograph at night, with a poor little cell phone.  But you get the idea. (Look for the family photo hidden within this picture). Las Vegas - Old School A week ago I joined the "kids" for a walk down memory lane.  I helped them clean out their father's house in Las Vegas, following his recent death, and we found so much history and memorabilia from the life and times of their father, grandfather and great-grandfather, as well as other grandparents and relatives.  One of the bonuses to cleaning out houses of people who don't throw anything away, is finding treasures and riches beyond measure.  A true inheritance. Discovering their history - while wearing Grandma's pearls. Snapshot Grandpa took, we assume, during a WWII USO tour. Ah...Bing. It turned out to be a souvenir edition, but still fascinating. We don't know which family member this is...but what a great photo! In a prior life I did live, and teach, in L...

Celebrating 100 Posts - A Challenge

Yes, we are closing in on our 100th post . Truly amazing. Thank you for reading and participating, helping keep the ideas, words and photos flowing. In honor of this momentous occasion, let's have a party. A party where "100" is featured. Do not become concerned if an idea doesn't pop into your head right away. You have one week to come up with something which includes 100 . Think party, celebration and fun. Think creatively. Think challenge. Photography is about expressing yourself, and challenging yourself. Here's a real stretcher! Celebrate with us by posting a photo (or series) which depicts the number 100 in some way. Let me know if you're going to participate and I'll create a way for everyone to link to each other's pages - chuckling, laughing, crying and surprising. You'll be amazed what you see when you start looking. Still at a loss? Here is a non-exhaustive look at the number 100: 100 years ago (something nostalgic- there's wigg...
