A Few Photos and Thoughts About Photography
There was concern at the onset of winter about what direction the photography would take, but surprisingly nature never disappointed through the cold days. The lakes offered a continuing transformation of ice and light and throughout the seasons of the year, the ever-changing qualities and appearance of water has remained my main area of fascination.…

Nature’s Musings During A Winter Picnic
Can I see your invitation? Go rockin’ robin ’cause we’re really gonna rock tonight (tweet-tweedilly-tweet)! Anybody have any ideas about how to remove the berry stains from my fur? I better hurry and have a few berries before the berry eating contest begins. Hurry, someone help Sammy, he’s choking on a berry! I reserved this spot on…

A Snow Moon, A Sunset, A Duck and A Bad Attitude
The evening started with a beautiful sunset and accidentally finding a great spot for capturing the moon when we parked the car down the street from the restaurant we chose for dinner. Unfortunately, the spot provided a limited view of the sunset in the distance and while we were eating dinner someone stole the moon.…

Just Hanging Out And Watching The Sky
Now that the football season is officially over and rain is forecast for our weather, it sounds like a weekend for hanging out with Inspector Rebus in Rather Be The Devil, the latest book in the great Ian Rankin series, and with Keanu Reeves in John Wick: Chapter 2. Other than hanging out with the birds,…

Super Bowl Hangover
Too many snacks! Some are recovering after a few too many drinks, while others are still talking about Tom Brady, the commercials and Lady Gaga.

A Few Surprises From The Week
Went to the park hoping to see an eagle and was surprised this little fella was the only one hanging out. I almost forgot what sunshine looked like and was surprised when it reappeared after a month. It happens every time, but I’m always surprised it feels twenty degrees colder walking along the lake. It’s…

Winter Photos and Ramblings On Super Bowl Weekend
Some days winter and not having a favorite quarterback in the Super Bowl just weighs you down. Other days winter can magically transform how you look at everything and almost let you forget how much you miss Brett Favre and Peyton Manning. He’s not a fan of winter or the Super Bowl and doesn’t want to be…

Reasons To Smile
A dusting of snow and watching Benedict Cumberbatch on Sherlock A dusting of snow and watching Jay Leno and Craig Ferguson on Lip Sync Battle. A dusting of snow and changing the calendar to a new month closer to spring and hopefully with fewer gray days. A dusting of snow and making your dog wear a silly…

A Few Photos and Thoughts
The chances that I will enjoy a movie based on a book I loved reading is similar to the odds of having winter and spring in the same week. Amazingly both occurred this week with an ice storm and temperatures in the 50s and enjoying the movie A Man Called Ove as much as the…

Holiday Movies
It took a bout with the flu to finally catch-up on a few of my favorite holiday movies. The holiday movie tradition began with a sentimental favorite from childhood, Miracle on 34th Street starring Maureen O’Hara and Edmund Gwenn, and over the course of a lifetime the holiday movie list continues to expand. Many of these…
