Bright Idea

While working on blog posts in the glaring light of the rising sun, I suddenly came up with a really bright idea: Close the window shade! #shadow #morningsun #glare #brightidea

Tranquility descended upon the scene as the sun set, the sky darkened, and the colors deepened. Soft sounds of the neighborhood did little to disturb the scene; the clucking of neighbor’s chickens, chirping of birds, and the soft crunch of dry leaves as I shuffled about the backyard and found a stump for a seat.Continue reading “Evening Apparition”

Shadows of the Past

Years ago, a young man looked to the skies at a rare sight, a flying machine. He was inspired to become a pilot and soloed in 1929. He continued to fly as a private pilot for the most of his life, raised a family of pilots, and built several airplanes including an EAA Biplane similarContinue reading “Shadows of the Past”

Bunny Love

Bunnies in love snuggle on a swing in the prismatic light of the rising sun while little brother peeks at the goings-on. Being the youngest in our family, I could relate to the little bunny dressed in blue sneaking a view. #bunnies #inlove #prismaticlight #morning

Yellow Fellow

They have been shy this year, with just a few showing up in their drab winter colors. That has changed as seen by the yellow feathers replacing the gray. Soon, in full golden glory, they will head north for the summer leaving behind happy memories and a hope for their return next winter. #goldfinch #birdfeederContinue reading “Yellow Fellow”

This bumblebee seemed to be delighted by our azaleas in the front yard as it busily buzzed about the blooms. PS–Happy St. Patrick’s Day! #bumblebee #azalea #blooms

Yak Attack

The throaty rumbling of round engines drew my attention to the sky. I was expecting to see WW II trainers such as Stearmans or T-6’s, but the silhouettes were wrong. Then, I remembered seeing Yak 33’s in the area with a similar round engine roar. The sight and sound of six of them flying overContinue reading “Yak Attack”

True Blue

The vibrant colors of the bluebird warmed the cool, late-afternoon scene and lightened the heart as the day faded into the sunset. #bluebird #colors #lateafternoon

Best First

Some prefer to save the best for last but at our age we prefer to enjoy the best first, just in case… #best #first #last #justincase

Hunter in the Clouds

Passing clouds framed Orion in the early evening sky as I patiently waited for them to part for a glimpse of Jupiter, the giant planet, in another part of the sky. I could hardly begrudge the fluffy clouds since they rewarded my patience with spectacular views of both the constellation and later, the planet. #orionContinue reading “Hunter in the Clouds”
