    It’s been a long week, and yesterday was tiring. Since David Pascoe was good enough to take today’s Mad Genius Club post with the continuation of his story (go read it, it’s good) then I am free to take a deep breath, smell the flowers, and come back tomorrow renewed and refreshed. Sorry for the…

    I got two new books in this last week, and I managed to read them both. One fiction, and one non-fiction. Being sick helped with the reading, for a little silver lining in a cloud. I read book #6 in the Ongoing April series by Mackey Chandler. I have enjoyed this series from the first…

    I’ve been challenging myself with food photography this winter, while the weather is too miserable to get out and find my favorite subjects: bugs and flowers. Taking pictures of food presents a couple of challenges. The first is lighting. Natural light, as I’ve captured in the top photo of berries in sunlight from my kitchen…

    Flying out of the airport on a sunny Sunday morning, I had a rare chance (for me) to take some photographs from a different angle.

    I have been attempting to photograph snowflakes this winter, with the result that it has only snowed a couple of times since I began my efforts. However, in this endeavour, I have learned something very interesting. I knew that a digital camera made life much easier than the film 35mm I once owned. I knew…

    But not on a rolling stone, as they say. I’m running a sort of hands-on workshop for creating an author blog or website over at the Mad Genius Club today, if you’d rather talk about writerly things than art. Because this is an art blog, today. I have gotten away from my schedule, but it’s…

    While I was at LibertyCon, and on the trip down, I took more pictures than just of people. I have chemistry lab today, and ought to be working on my pre-lab write up, since I spent my homework time last night out performing at a Ramadan party… With no further ado, works of art from…

    I was sitting here for a long time this morning, staring at the blank text box and blinking cursor, trying to think about what to write. Tuesdays, in general, I try to devote to my art. I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently, my art, whether it is the hobby end of it –…

    There are flowers blooming, and the birds are singing their hearts out as I type this. I think spring has finally made an arrival. I have plants in the front hall waiting for me to have a moment to put them in the ground (later today, I hope). We went to Kentucky last week, where…

    The world seems darkest, as winter lingers on, throwing her shawl of white over the shoots that dare peep out. The gray seems to have overtaken the sun, and the world is bereft of joy. We go on each day, in faith that another follows, that there will be light, that summer returns, and there…

    Because I can. Was talking about goldfinches on another blog, and was reminded of this photo I took a while back, one of the last rolls of film I shot before retiring my 35mm. I do miss the telephoto lens.
