8.5 – Interstate Find

Yesterday, I almost made myself sick by staying out in the heat and working on the garden stream. The stream is now operational although there’s some cosmetic work to be done. Even though I was exhausted, I went out at dusk and shot several exposures of the stream. This morning I woke up just as [...]

8.1 – Biking It Out

My muscles are absolutely screaming from the lifting rocks for the garden stream yesterday.  To top it off, we went to Shiloh early this morning to bike (approximately 9 miles), and that just helped the rest of my leg muscles to start screaming. The humidity and heat was awful yesterday and today, and being out [...]

7.29 – Shiloh Biking

Today was filled with thunderstorms and lightning and brownouts, but at the end of the day, we went biking with some friends at Shiloh.  The humidity was awful, but as soon as we started biking, it and the heat was unnoticeable as the ride was filled with fresh, cool air.  I had almost forgotten how [...]

7.11 – Super Sunday Ride Around: Ella Isabella, Natchez Trace

I just love, love, love today’s image. When you follow the maxim “Follow what you know” in the arts (writing, photography, etc.), then you’re sure to get some desired results. I love trains, trees, stars, and just about anything that starts with ‘e’ (heh!) to just give a quick list. And, I also gravitate more [...]

7.4 – Happy Fourth of July

Earlier in the week I wanted to shoot something today that would be a thematic shot for the 4th of July.  I decided to drive over to Shiloh National Military Park, the site of one of the bloodiest Civil War battles.  I woke up “early” this morning (early for me since I’m not a morning [...]

5.6 – Atlanta

I’m a passenger on this mini road trip and am thrilled with the 3G coverage between Birmingham and Atlanta. These few hours of riding are my first chance to extensively use my iPad. I arrange all the apps on the different screens, open each app and determine if I want to cull any, search for [...]

3.7 – Afternoon Garden Stroll

When I hear the flocks of birds fussing and chirping in the trees outside, the seasons are changing.  The birds are beginning to migrate again, and the flocks blacken the tree tops and are loud enough to be heard inside.  The weather was so pleasant, and since I didn’t take advantage of the niceness yesterday, [...]

Subjective Snow

Is today’s picture “bad” or just a matter of subjective taste?

The Days

One of my favorite new authors of The Happiness Project wrote, “The days are long, but the years are short.”

Morning Surprise

This morning was a perfect example of Murphy’s Law.  I was ready to go to work and get started on clearing some of the tax returns off my desk when I realized that snow was coming down heavily and had already covered the yard and road.   The last two times that I have followed [...]
