It never fails. I make a grocery store run, I end up with a green bean massacre on my hands. (My cats will eat all sorts of plants – including lilies – and green beans are one of their favorite things to snack on. When I bring my groceries in, they immediately go on a [...]

even more maps
I had fun on the weekend (in between bouts of severe endo pain) taking and editing some more map photos. I used Instagram and Camera+ on each of these images. (Did I mention how much fun this was?) One of the things I really love about maps – apart from their usefulness – is their [...]

walk in the woods
Whenever I can, I like to go walking in the woods. These are some photos that I took a few weekends ago, that I hadn’t gotten around to posting before now. The spring path was very muddy. Good thing I had a new pair of rubber boots (below). This area near Walkers Pond is very [...]

renewal – lilies of the valley
I took this photograph on a recent walk in downtown London, during my lunch hour. I hadn’t realized that the lilies of the valley were out. I appreciate lilies of the valley. Photo theme for April: Renewal

renewal – spring green
This month’s photo theme is renewal. I’m starting with one of my favorite signs of spring: New green leaves budding on bare tree branches. These are the trees in front of my apartment building. They’re what I see every day when I look out my front window. I appreciate spring green. ~ Photo theme for [...]
comfort – worn furniture
This is another one of my favorite chairs. It lived in my family’s home throughout my childhood. It’s in my back room right now. It desperately needs re-upholstering or slipcovering, but right now I love its shabby chic appeal. Plus it’s one of my most comfortable chairs – I don’t want it to be out [...]

comfort – kale chips
I try to eat lots of greens every day, and I really try hard to mix them up, but truth be told, I’m not a fan of kale. Except in kale chips. I appreciate kale chips. ~ Photo theme for March: Comfort

how to wash a floor
I love washing floors. The old-fashioned way – on my hands and knees. Today was a quiet day, and a good day to clean my kitchen. There’s a method to my madness – a ritual for every task. When I’m washing the kitchen floor I like to remove all the movable things: table, chair, wicker [...]
