my two favorite photos were taken with my phone
my dog, Blue…thought he was a person. when i belted him in my *SAAB station wagon, he thought, “finally, she gets me” i was blessed with Blue for almost 10 years. he followed me from room to room. he was my shadow. my son called Blue, “my brother” because they were born a month apart….
how to freeze wishes for future use…
the childhood impulse to blow these dandelion seeds to the four winds still lives within me. I’m grateful for that. I like the feeling of hope showings it’s shining face. I picked these at their peek & sprayed them with high gloss varnish. i let their stems dry in the sun, on my windowsill. I…

Austin Healey 3000 MkIII

best way to photograph a spiders web?
a water spritzer for plants. I sprayed this web with wee dots of water & you know what happened? When the morning sun hit it, i saw rainbows. There was no spider on the web at the time & the water dried in minutes. Now that it is fall & Alabama spiders start building HUGE…
