Geranium Jewels – Snapshot of the Day, No. 155

As usual, time was limited today to get my shot, but I kind of liked seeing these geranium buds closeup. I don’t see as well up close anymore – so it’s pretty cool to use the macro lens to see nature a little better. I thought I was buying all red geraniums. Looks like theContinue reading “Geranium Jewels – Snapshot of the Day, No. 155”

Picking Up Moscow – Snapshot of the Day, No. 153

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.

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”

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”
