No Place Like Home

There’s no place like a home with a Fairy. #fairy #home

Been There, Doing That Again and Again…

The 24″ X 36″ canvas print finally came, and now it is where it can be seen first thing in the morning and last thing at night. It just begins to capture the magic that keeps us going back. The saying “Been there, done that,” does not apply there, for we will never be doneContinue reading “Been There, Doing That Again and Again…”

For the Birds

Please tell me we were NOT up past midnight last night. That would be for the birds! #puzzle #birds

Here’s Your Sign!

We set our on our walk this morning, confident that the rain was over. Winds whipped the fallen leaves about, and a stray twig came twirling down by our feet as we rounded a bend about half a mile from home. Perhaps we should have payed more attention to the weather sprites. About a mileContinue reading “Here’s Your Sign!”

Pollen Nation

Yup, I just had to get a sample and look at it under the microscope. This is from pine trees that are blooming, and I can hardly wait until they stop! But there are plenty other plants, including the oak trees, that are also contributing to the pollen load, not to mention all the bloomin’Continue reading “Pollen Nation”

The Front in the Back

The morning light fairies were at it again. My wife, who was facing the back window, said: Look at the reflection of the front doorway window. I looked and saw nothing. She told me to stand where she was at her eye-level, and there it was like a bright, sun-burnished sprite. Minutes later it wasContinue reading “The Front in the Back”

Spring Light Sunrise

Fingers of sunrise seem to poke and prod from curious directions as the Sun moves northward towards spring, making the days longer. Here it sparkles in window decorations above the door and casts tinted light on the adjacent wall. Another free, morning delight. #sunrise #spring #windows #sunlight

Glib Gibbous Moon

It hovered in the morning sky, the Man on the Moon seeming to grin down towards Earth just as it was about to set. The Moon was full just two days before but still looks nearly round in its gibbous phase, the phase between full and quarter. Maybe it has a secret that it wouldContinue reading “Glib Gibbous Moon”

8,000

It’s really not much to look at, just a little round ball with a few scattered spots. But looks can be deceiving, this “little” round ball is actually 835,000 miles in diameter and the larger spots are nearly as large as the Earth. However, this image means a lot to me since, if I haveContinue reading “8,000”

Another Bloomin’ Tree

Just another good reason to get out of bed and get going in the morning. The air is fresh and cool, and colorful ornamental plants like this tulip magnolia tree are guaranteed to raise even the droopiest eyelids. #tulipmagnolia #morning #tree
