Nutty Chitter from a Caffeinated Critter
The grapes this season are delicious. Crisp and sweet, they give that satisfying crunch and burst of flavor when you bite into them. So when my husband and I settled down for a glass of wine, I thought I’d get creative. So let’s raise a glass for today’s featured photo—Grapewine! I had a vision of…
This last Monday, I participated in a photo shoot for a local writing collaboration. We faced the heat and made our way to the Old Penitentiary. I decided to play with HDR for this featured photo, which seems to add a funky glow. But then, my photography skills don’t quite measure up to the professionals….
There’s a new park in my neighborhood. I took my children last night. As the sun sank lower, my shadow grew longer. Since my camera was locked in my car trunk, I snapped this featured photo with my phone. My son sat contentedly in the crook of my arm, while my daughter ran through the…
Much like M.J.’s pewter pegasus, sunflowers are a source of story inspiration for me. My husband manages to keep our plants alive, even though I’m green-thumb impaired. This year, he planted sunflowers. These bright yellow beauties instill a sense of nostalgia every time I see them. Not that they have a significant place in my…
Town’s End has a new family member! We named her Little Bunny Foo Foo, but my husband has dubbed her Little Bunny Poo Poo. I had no idea these little furballs could hold so much! But she happily consumes the plentiful lettuce that’s grown too bitter for my tastes. Everyone loves Foo Foo. Including the…
Blog wise, I’ve been fairly absent for a week now. I’ve managed to visit some people, but between a birthday party, book-cover photo-shoot, work BBQ, figuring out Lambda expressions and functional programming in Java 8 (aka my job), revising This World Bites, and trying to finish my piece for Elizabeth’s blog challenge…*blink* What was I…
While on vacation, I learned that my husband actually looks forward to Featured Photo Friday, and was disappointed when I missed a couple weeks. So after lunch that day, I hopped on the Connector and hit downtown to try my hand at urban photography. I suck at urban photography. But I got a couple of…
I don’t take many pictures of people, except for my husband and children. If you follow me on Instagram, you’d know they’re my most favorite subject. So today’s featured photo was a bit different for me. As a habitual DIYer, I try everything (within reason) myself and then consult the experts if I fail. I…
You might be able to tell, but I’m in love with my pond… When I first mentioned it, Lexa commented about mosquitoes as a concern. My husband’s solution to that is keeping the water moving/agitated. The result is a lovely waterfall. This featured photo is taken with my camera, not my phone. I played with…
Last week, I featured my pond. Today’s feature photo shows the hands that built it. On the 24th, we will celebrate our 8 year wedding anniversary. Even after that time, he still makes sparks fly. 😀 I used my camera for this one. The shutter speed was fast enough to catch the sparks without making…
