Oh, the humiliation! Poor Murray. The vet has determined he has a sty on his eyelid that is trying to rupture. That means antibiotics, pain meds and the dreaded cone of shame. . . so he won’t scratch it and damage his cornea. One week – if all goes well – until freedom. Until then:Continue reading “Picking Up Moscow – Snapshot of the Day, No. 153”

Do Not Touch – Snapshot of the Day, No. 152
This is what I saw when I was leaving work today. This is an area at the bottom of the back stairwell. Must be a promotional thing: “Subscribe to our paper and receive a flag.” Pretty cool. It’s better than a mug, at least. I like the symbolism even better.
SALE! – Snapshot of the Day, No. 151
I honestly don’t remember what store this window is from. I think it’s Coldwater Creek. I am fascinated by mannequins in windows. I had a few minutes this evening to shop for some clothes. I need so many things, but rarely have time to look. I cherish those times – for the first 5 minutes.Continue reading “SALE! – Snapshot of the Day, No. 151”
Beetle Mania – Snapshot of the Day, No. 150
This was not my original photo of the day. I had taken that early this morning before I left for work. But after seeing this guy, I could not resist switching out my subjects. I think this is a Palo Verde beetle. But I am just guessing from the photos I found on the internet.Continue reading “Beetle Mania – Snapshot of the Day, No. 150”
Sunday Afternoon – Snapshot of the Day, No. 149
Joe and I usually eat lunch with his parents after church every Sunday. But in the summer, we sometimes go back to their house for dinner and a dip in the pool. One of my very favorite things to do is read by the pool. I’m reading Frank McCourt’s third and final book, “Teacher Man,”Continue reading “Sunday Afternoon – Snapshot of the Day, No. 149”
Master Gardener – Snapshot of the Day, No. 148
Ok. I must say, getting a sharp photo of this guy was NOT easy. Bumble bees never stop moving. And, as usual, I gave myself only one shot to get it. After this shot, the other bumble bees came after me. Apparently they thought I wanted their pollen.
Emily’s Jar – Snapshot of the Day, No. 147
I had to get an early start on my image today because I know I will not have time later. Fortunately for me the light was hitting this mason jar just right. It was given to us a couple of Christmases ago by one of my favorite neighbors. . . full of beautiful cuttings, ofContinue reading “Emily’s Jar – Snapshot of the Day, No. 147”
Delays – Snapshot of the Day, No. 146
What was only going to take a few minutes to do, turned into a big mess. The belt on the riding lawn mower at the house we are renovating slipped off of the pulleys every few minutes. Joe kept having to stop and put it back on. I finally cranked up the push mower toContinue reading “Delays – Snapshot of the Day, No. 146”
Fresh2Hop – Snapshot of the Day, No. 145
So, it’s not such a great shot, but I was shooting through a window – and Mr. Rabbit moved right when I took the photo. Joe and I went to Fresh2Order tonight for dinner and encountered this little guy outside on the patio. I said, “Well, THERE’S something you don’t see every day! A rabbitContinue reading “Fresh2Hop – Snapshot of the Day, No. 145”
Corner Market – Snapshot of the Day, No. 144
We have a new market/deli downtown called Enzo’s Market. It’s pretty much a combination of a vintage grocery store and a big city deli. It’s on the Southside, so it has an arty feel. I had lunch a few weeks ago with my sister-in-law and niece here. The food was pretty good if you ever getContinue reading “Corner Market – Snapshot of the Day, No. 144”
