So, our vice president had made a few snarky comments about “childless cat ladies.” It seems that I am one of them. Practically a witch with a familiar (aka cat). Pretty much everyone knows I am one when I pull out my phone to show yet another photograph featuring the lovely Trinity. What a sweetheart
This week, I went out early to take pictures of the sunrise and the moonset. It’s been a great experience because every day brings us closer to the vernal equinox.

Well, I think that winter now feels virtually endless. I look outside and I see partially melted snow, bare trees and decaying plants from the last growing season. The decaying plants can stay until it gets consistently above 50 degrees F (10 degrees C). Decaying plants and snow serve as insulation for the ground and
It seems as if we are having a nonstop snowfall here in Western New York, although, apparently, the amount of snow has been pretty normal. Maybe it seems like a lot because it’s been a while since we’ve had much snow. Here are a few images to celebrate #WordlessWednesday.
For week six of Inktober 52, the prompt is “swamp.” And here is a picture of a lovely swamp in Reinstein Woods. It’s full of gorgeous lily pads and makes me think of Claude Monet and his peaceful impressionistic paintings of lily pads. So… is my picture this week of a swamp filled with lily
