  • Cozy up in the garden: thistle love

    August 16, 2013

    I am not sure exactly what type of beetle these are, but they appear to be enjoying the morning sun and thistle bloom…

  • Weekly Photo Challenge: One-Shot-Two-Ways

    August 9, 2013

    Disclaimer: It isn’t exactly according to direction; but I learned a valuable lesson about perspective and making a photograph more appealing. Thank you!!

    In my garden- lots of Black-Eyed-Susan’s…the shot from above is boring. Actually laying in the garden and shooting toward the sky (thank goodness NO garter snakes) is more interesting!

    A fantastic blog: http://nylondaze.com/, introduced to those of us who follow Frizztext, and authored by Patti K., inspired me to post- yet again…sorry!!! Patti lives in, and photographs NYC. After a quick e-chat, she asked me what parts of the city I liked. Many!! Wish we could visit more often…

  • Just sayin’

    August 7, 2013

    I am feeling like a boring photog– neither ‘edgy’ or ‘innovative’… So, while trapped by a train crossing the tracks in downtown St. Paul, I took a few shots and decided to experiment. Just sayin’…

  • The Lure of Premium WordPress Themes…

    August 6, 2013

    How many themes have I mucked about in? A few dollars spent, and I am back to the simplicity of “Twenty Eleven”. *sigh* I don’t know what I expected would happen with a super-charged theme…there were no fireworks and my technical side fell down on the job- despite the ease with which the templates are loaded…

    And so, say hi to Max the dog, showcased in theme Twenty Eleven:

  • Bark at Art…and purr!

    July 27, 2013

    Last evening was the opening of an art show benefiting The Pet Project, an organization dedicated to keeping pets and their caregivers together by providing pet food and pet supplies to food shelves. They offer quarterly low-cost vaccination clinics and provide information about other programs that provide reduced-cost veterinary care.

    Dylan was one of the subjects, as was “Johnny Cash”, a French Bulldog whose portrait I had the pleasure of taking. Johnny was a bit taken aback by the Sphynx cat, the other featured portrait, when she took a swipe at him with her glitter claws…
