Looks Like Winter, Feels Like Winter, But It Sounds Like Autumn
The following piece was the first music playing on Apple Music HAUSER Radio when I began shoveling snow yesterday morning. While HAUSER Radio was a complete success for a morning walk, the selection of music after this one did not suit the occasion. Next time I’ll try more Vivaldi or a few waltzes and try…

It’s Puppuccino Time!
According to everything I’m seeing on tv and in the store, I should be saying it’s time for the holidays, but somehow I mentally made a decision to not leave October. I’m shocked the holidays are here and that I actually heard someone already talking about New Year’s resolutions. I’m also shocked that I haven’t…

Where Are My Snacks?!
The little birds generally accept that it will be my niece providing snacks on the trails, except for the very rude downy woodpeckers. Not only do they fly straight at my head, but also make sure they give me a dirty look when they realize I have no snacks. After a few days spent listening…

iPhone Journey – Day 64
I’ve lost track of the number of important topics I would like to rant about, but there has been some serious muttering I can share this week. In the midst of not being able to accept aging some days, I read an article about The Golden Bachelor tv show in The New York Times that…

iPhone Journey – Day 57
Last year I added an early November reminder on my calendar to not start the holiday celebrations too early so I wasn’t worn out by the actual holiday, but who can argue with all the coffee shops that have released their new cups and flavors for the season. The worst of the fall clean up…

iPhone Journey – Day 44
As we move through these fall days and dark cooler mornings, I’m reminded how much I miss my early morning sunrises. One more important item about life and fall mornings is that I don’t appreciate anyone thinking for me, including cars, and whoever designs these new automobiles with the automatic heated steering wheel and seats…

iPhone Journey – Day 32
Harper thought I was taking too long in the coffee shop and was making sure nothing had happened to me. It’s been interesting visiting a variety of coffeehouses during our walks and discovering the unique vibes. There have been those that felt like stepping into an office meeting, another had a library vibe that made…

iPhone Journey – Day 31
A surprising result after the first month of this iPhone Journey is that the journey has transitioned from being about the camera to the absolute enjoyment of coffee and walking. “Walking, ideally, is a state in which the mind, the body, and the world are aligned, as though they were three characters finally in conversation…

iPhone Journey – Day 30
It felt like summer the last few days with temperatures in the 80s, but things are about to quickly change. This weekend we will have highs in the fifties and lows in the thirties and our year-round swan residents will soon have the lake to themselves as the boats and docks begin disappearing from the…

iPhone Journey – Day 23
One of the things I’ve been noticing during these twenty-three days is an increased awareness of everything around me compared to the days with the Nikon. Even with carrying both cameras back then, there was often a feeling of outings looking for shots compared to things catching me by surprise hourly during this iPhone journey.…
