SHARING MY WORLD

Share Your World 31st January It's a rare day that I only get to this prompt so late in the week. Do you find it relatively easy to fall asleep at night? I take medication. I take it, and half an hour later, I'm gone for at least a solid four hours. I don't know where … Continue reading SHARING MY WORLD

BIRDS IN THE BUSH WITH SNOW

When it snows, you can see how many dozens of birds live in the forsythia hedge in the backyard. I couldn't get sharp pictures. This was one of the times when the autofocus couldn't figure out where to focus. Between the falling snow and the bushes and the birds who were in constant motion, it … Continue reading BIRDS IN THE BUSH WITH SNOW

THE INDOOR GARDEN

FOTD – January 30 – The Indoor Garden Only the Anthurium and the Green Orchid are in bloom right now, but there are buds on two other orchids. They are not close to blooming yet.

WINTER BIRDS IN RAIN & SNOW

When I got up and went out to feed the birds, it was pouring -- and warm. Less than an hour later, the temperature dropped, and a pretty heavy snow was falling. Tomorrow it's supposed to snow and rain in no discernible order. At some point during tomorrow night, it's supposed to do something involving … Continue reading WINTER BIRDS IN RAIN & SNOW

ON A GOLDEN AFTERNOON – IN JANUARY?

I looked out the window, and the light was golden against the trees. It's not the color you usually see in the middle of winter. I associate that color with autumn and sometimes summer. Maybe it was because of all the rain and what seems to be our nightly inch or two of snow, but … Continue reading ON A GOLDEN AFTERNOON – IN JANUARY?

MORE YELLOW-GREEN ORCHIDS

FOTD – January 29 – Yellow-Green Orchids I should have been taking pictures of our little snow, but I was, instead, pulling veins from the middle of supposedly cleaned and deveined shrimp. But I did get some pretty pictures of the orchids. And I got to use my new camera, too. We had snow overnight and … Continue reading MORE YELLOW-GREEN ORCHIDS

       DEATH HITS HOME

By Ellin Curley             A strange thing happened to me on the day Marilyn died. Tom, Sarah, my daughter visiting from LA, and I were watching TV. Probably Yellowstone since we had just binged through 1883, 1923, and were now mid-Yellowstone.  (I liked the two prequels way better than Yellowstone.) The phone rang, it was … Continue reading        DEATH HITS HOME

A NEW CAMERA, A MACRO LENS, AND A YELLOW-GREEN ORCHID

FOTD – January 28 – A new camera and a yellow-green Orchid Somewhere in the middle of the madly medical week, the camera I've been waiting for showed up. I'm sometimes astonished at Amazon's packing. They send me a bag of spices packed so well you could shoot it into space. Then, they send me … Continue reading A NEW CAMERA, A MACRO LENS, AND A YELLOW-GREEN ORCHID
