Rainy Days and Mondays, of Cats and Falling Leaves
It’s a blustery, rainy day in the Great Northwest and this is the scene from my office window. Most of the leaves are hanging on, though some have let go, landing on my car, where I enjoy them on my windshield. Inside, Benji is… Continue Reading “Rainy Days and Mondays, of Cats and Falling Leaves”

New York City’s Backyard – Central Park!
Who’d have thought there’d be an oasis of nature to enjoy in America’s largest city? Certainly not me and yet, there it was, Central Park, a highlight of our trip to New York, in all shades of living color. Honestly, I should have known.… Continue Reading “New York City’s Backyard – Central Park!”

For this week’s #Sunday Stills color challenge – ORANGE – I looked no further than my own back yard. And I squared all seven pictures for #SevenforSeptember. ~ Susanne
Seven Colors of the Rainbow
Did you know there are seven colors in the rainbow? I guess I did, though I forgot the specifics until I began to look for sevens, for #SevenforSeptember. We don’t get many rainbows here in the Great Northwest though we do get lots of… Continue Reading “Seven Colors of the Rainbow”
Seven Squared Bugs?
What’s that you say? Squared pictures. Seven of them. Bugs. (I use the term loosely. All bugs are insects, not all insects are bugs!) So I can ‘double dip’ into two photo challenges, #Sunday Stills and #SevenforSeptember. I’ll start with an ordinary ‘bug’ resting… Continue Reading “Seven Squared Bugs?”
