Tis the Season for Change
No I’m not talking politics though that works too. I’m talking seasons which always arrive just in time, none with more fanfare than fall. Still it’s a process as trees take their time to change color and shed their leaves. The Gingko Biloba wore… Continue Reading “Tis the Season for Change”

I Saw the Blue Moon Rising
Okay so it wasn’t blue but that’s what they call it; the second full moon in a calendar month and all the more rare on Halloween. We had clear skies and no trick or treaters so I pulled out my camera to practice my… Continue Reading “I Saw the Blue Moon Rising”

Seagulls – Just Because
I looked for a photo challenge to share my seagull pictures but came up short – I decided to share them anyway. Seagulls, like crows, get no respect. I like them, but then I like crows too. According to Wikipedia, “Gulls are resourceful, inquisitive,… Continue Reading “Seagulls – Just Because”
