this place smells exactly like you might imagine

are you a pepper?
i'm not.
but i love these chairs.

I know -- I thought I was surely over the beach photos by now.
Then I found this one ... and how could I resist?

Sigh.

Texas rocks. trust me. it really does.

quack! quack!

this is not a flower.
it is a flower-shaped-brightly-colored-spinner-in-the-wind-thing.

this one is for the mud-bug queens
(you know who you are)

just a wee bit of navel gazing...
(reverse macro)

wondering just how much mileage i can get from a few hours spent at the beach...

sorry, Linda.
it's not a kid with something on his head.
but he does have grass hanging out of his mouth...

good morning, sunshine

if i only posted pictures of joshua with things on his head...
i could post a different picture everyday.
for eight years.

making tracks this weekend

Because sometimes you need to wear the Happy Meal box on your head in order to filter out the alien voices.

away at the moment ... so without a camera connection I guess I have to resort to yet another flower photo.
:-)

Aw, come on. I HAD to take the picture.
After all, it's a BOWL FULL OF CHERRIES.

my bathtub is a happy place.

So. Let's sit here for a while and just think about things.

(Note -- no flowers so far this week, but this one comes terribly close ... move along, folks, and ignore that spot of purple beside the bench. It's merely an accidental flower sighting.)

my dad used to work on these.
he could tell you all about it.

but then he'd have to kill you.

(so please don't ask...)

one of THOSE days

my itty bitty baby dog.

...the answer is blowing in the wind...

High Flight

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth

of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung

High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,

I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung

My eager craft through footless halls of air....

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue

I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace

Where never lark nor even eagle flew—

And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod

The high untrespassed sanctity of space,

Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

-John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

Is blowing in the wind...

Air Force Heritage Flight.

yes. there were tears involved.

it was a fun photo day for me today
and now I'm faced with the choice of showing you
cute
or
creepy



I'm opting for cute.

If you want to see creepy, you can go HERE.
(But if you strongly empathize with Little Miss Muffet, I wouldn't advise it...)

one day I'm going to grow weary of the Hipstamatic app.
today is not that day.

I've been busy as a bee, I mean, an ant today.

Well, yesterday I got so excited about reverse macro photography that I completely forgot to finish what I was doing, which was, of course, posting my photo for the day.

So. Here it is. A piece of hazelnut cappuccino cheesecake for Doug's birthday. Yesterday he turned ... well, let's just say that he has his very own Roman numeral this year, and leave it at that.

Speaking of yummy deserts reminds me of chocolate, which prompts me to show you this bit of yummy chocolate brown photo post-processing.



I keep telling myself no more flowers. Then something else blooms out there, and I'm just lost...

yeah. so.
i pretty much want to move into this krispy kreme restaurant.
for the decor, you understand.

tight.
reverse macro of a peony.

just because

not just for civic revenue...
now it's social commentary.

because mother's day wouldn't be quite the same without them.

Something pink for Mother's Day.
Happy Day to All!



This is one of my favorite photos of my mom and sisters and me... I'm the very cute, intelligent looking one.
No, not that one ... no, not that one either.
Okay, then. Of the four very cute, intelligent looking females in this photo, I'm the one on the far left.
:-)

it's always more fun
to hike with a friend.
