Cat Tails and Dog Wood



A Western Union Telegraph.

Haven't forgotten you, stop.

Cat tails and flowers, stop.

Not going so well, stop.

Your idea 5ucks, stop.

I think I need to do a study of that red wall. From the minute I saw it, as I was waiting for my first interview for the new job, I've been fascinated with it. I guess I've got to skip lunch one of these days and just do it.

Fair Trade Apples

I put in two apple trees several years ago and not once have I had a single bud, a single flower, never mind a single apple. The locals make sure they stay pruned and neat. I call it fair trade. I get my apples at Atkin's Fruit Farm like everyone else and occasionally I get a wonderful glimpse of my neighbors.

So I got a personal request for a particular type of photograph today. That's right, now apparently, I shoot to order! :) Luckily I think it is quite do-able so I'll see if I can't work on that tomorrow. In the meantime, here's a lovely photograph that I think you all will enjoy. In fact it almost fits the request I got... animal.. in the shrubbery... and the tail is up.. well.. kinda... LOL... let's see you design a bouquet around this sister dear!

My kitchen table is quickly becoming my favorite spot in the house and the really cool thing is I planned it that way. Out the front window I've hung my hummingbird feeder so I can see the little guys coming and going. To the right is another window that years ago I planted a french lilac bush directly beneath. The lilac is finally large enough to be seen from that window now. The one thing I didn't openly plan was all the butterfly's it was going to attract. What an awesome way to while away a little bit of time, with a nice cup of coffee, hummingbirds, lilacs and butterflies... It's like something straight out of a freakin' Disney movie!

Springfield style. I was in the office yesterday when this State Police helicopter kept circling the building, it then proceeded to hover outside my bosses window overlooking the Hippodrome parking lot. Reading the story today it seems one of the "visitors" to the Springfield District Court decided he didn't want to wear the shiney bracelets anymore and managed to kick out door latch and then make his way out of the secure parking garage.

Yeah, I know.. not much going on on the blog of late. Sorry about that. Busy.. Busy.. Busy as a bee. I've finally switched over to my weekend schedule at the new job and my 'virtual weekend" of Tuesdays and Wednesdays seem to be full of the necessities... banking.. oil changes... getting the snow tires taken off... bill paying... all the crap that just sucks the life and shooting time right out of the day...

Anyway... I'll try and do better... really I will...
