Today is the 4th of July – and it rained all day long here. Hard rain, too. It was semi-cold outside, as well. Not like last year’s 4th where it was 106 degrees. No pool. No lake. No boat ride. NO sunshine. We did have some fireworks. They DO go off in the rain. That’sContinue reading “Rainy 4th – Snapshot of the Day, No. 160”

Sew Much Fun – Snapshot of the Day, No. 159
This is a jar full of spools of thread in the window of a shop I’ve visited with my camera before: O.C. Buckles & Co. (I’ll try to find a link in the morning) Anyway, it’s a pretty cool shop that appears to teach sewing. I’ll try to go inside when they are actually openContinue reading “Sew Much Fun – Snapshot of the Day, No. 159”
Letters – Snapshot of the Day, No. 158
On our walk today, we came across this cool mailbox. I thought it had a lot of character, so I decided I’d shoot it. Plus I was running out of time and had to be at work.
Bumper Crop – Snapshot of the Day, No. 157
We have several berry bushes in our yard; these, of course, being from our blackberry bush. We pick blackberries around our neighborhood (in the woods) throughout the summer and freeze them for future cobblers. (Recipe to come later) We have to compete with deer, chipmunks and pesky squirrels for our berries. If we’re not careful,Continue reading “Bumper Crop – Snapshot of the Day, No. 157”
Dockside Fishing – Snapshot of the Day, No. 156
We went to the Dockside Café tonight for dinner. People like to feed the fish, turtles and ducks from this overlook. I thought it looked like a nice family moment, so I decided to make it my snapshot of the day. The food is really good, too. When we got back to Joe’s parents’ house,Continue reading “Dockside Fishing – Snapshot of the Day, No. 156”
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”
Evening Concert – Snapshot of the Day, No. 154
We were invited to an evening concert tonight by my sister and brother-in-law. It was great music mixed with frogs croaking and lightning bugs. Ah, Southern summer nights! I love it.
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”
