In low light….
A photographic experiment, using the knickknacks on my desk.

Something for Thursday
Sometimes it’s worth looking a bit more closely at the stuff that social media randomly serves up via its algorithms, because you DO find the occasional gem that way…like, for me recently, a band called The Empty Pockets. From their … Continue reading
A metamorphosis, completed
You may remember me writing a few weeks ago about the Monarch butterfly caterpillar we found in the milkweed outside our front door, and its turning up again a few days later as a chrysalis clinging to the siding of … Continue reading
Tone Poem Tuesday
Oops! I had a piece selected and had started writing the post to go with it, when I realized…that piece is better presented next Tuesday, and not today. It’ll all be clear then. Meanwhile, here is an old favorite of mine, … Continue reading

Tone Poem Tuesday
I’ve mentioned this many times, but for several days after 9-11, I was unable to listen to music at all. I am constantly surrounded by music, but for those three or four days, I just couldn’t. Finally I found my way back … Continue reading




Stealing on a Sunday? Seems suspicious.
I haven’t done one of these in a while, but I’m going to do one now, just because. So there! 1. What is your favorite book? Fiction, author no longer alive: The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien. Fiction, author … Continue reading →
