With Bells On

Merry Christmas and lots of LOVE

Snowman's Plea

Sun, sun, go away. Please don't shine on me today. Why are you in such a rush to turn me into sloppy slush. Sun, sun, can't you see, that your heat is melting me..

The Lights of Christmas

getting into the spirit..

Hey, Get to Work!

The Mighty Redwoods

Yes, it's impossible to convey the immensity in a photograph...

The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark that stays with you always. No one has ever successfully photographed a redwood tree. ~John Steinbeck

Hanging Up the Cows

I quickly turned and made a 180 heading for safety as he was just a little too close for comfort.

Yellowstone National Park

Autumn Leaves

Gratitude is when what you have is enough

Macro Monday

Topic - Vintage. My Southwest silver pendant has been oxidized for a 'vintage' look. The pendant is one of my very favorites, uh huh! Looks great with denim. I've had it in my jewelry collection for about 20ish years, you've probably seen me wearing it, maybe. 

Checking the Cell Structure

The cell structure has been checked.. you lichen it? =)

Top of the Morning

In nature, everything has a job. The job of the fog is to beautify further the existing beauties.

American Dream

Maybe in our world there lives a happy little tree over there.  ~artist Bob Ross 

Out on Bail

dangerous bad ass, keep your distance! 

No worries, it's a former prison now a tourist destination, Yuma Territorial Prison (shut down in 1909). Just wanted to scare you for a minute lol. =)

Break Room Gossip

This seat is taken. 

My Edible Prop

Macro Monday challenge.

Theme this week is 'Biscuit', so here goes..

My Fall

Don't worry, I didn't fall in lol, YIKES!

Note to self: Used my CANON EOS R for this which I'm not entirely used to yet even though I've owned it for over a year, shame on. I think I would have gotten significantly better leaf color with my much more familiar CANON EOS60D. Guess I probably should work on that dilemma lol.

Spicin' it Up a Bit

Five-Minute Blizzard

I'm so freaking COLD (as my new-to-me $3.99 GOODWILL sweatshirt says).

Embracing a spot of warmth on a chilly fall day 

Lighting is Everything

God creates the beauty. My camera and I are a witness. ~Mark Denman

Phobia

There are many different phobias that people suffer from.. fear of spiders, snakes, heights, and many more. Did you know there's a specific phobia called aichmophobia, the fear of sharp objects such as pencils, needles, knives, broken glass, a pointing finger, the sharp end of an umbrella, prickly plants... 

WARNING: If this describes you, look away and scroll by quickly.

No Sweat Garden

Totally natural.. I've never had a garden that was so easy. Skip the effort part, just take a picture.

Forever Friends

"We'll be friends forever, won't we, Pooh?" asked Piglet. 

"Even longer," Pooh answered. ~AA Milne

Mountains are Calling

it's for you, Vida 

Fading

Freezing nights have arrived.. 

Free Range

We've learned to drive super carefully, especially at night, since they often hang out on or near the road. Notice how they're the same color as 2am.

Octobers

One October day on the old highway headed toward St Regis (2017)

I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. ~LM Montgomery

Somewhere in the back of my head there's a bugaboo saying, EAT IT NOW. Simply add a small bit of Strawberry Syrup and a shot of Half & Half..
