After two days of heavy rain, gravity takes water from the subdivision toward the lake. We needed rain, and it looks like the garden will survive damage incurred from the heavy storms. A lot of leeks are now angled from their roots. Here is a gallery of photographs from the last two days. Read more

There is so much life at the end of May! Here are some photos taken in the garden and during yesterday’s trail walk. Living near the state park has been quite the perquisite! Read more

Signs of spring are everywhere: First sets of goslings on the lake with their parents, songbirds throughout the forested area, and earlier morning sunrises.

Most of my cameras have been inexpensive. A half-dozen shoe boxes full of photographs sit in storage around the house. Until I began a photo-archiving project, they were seldom opened. There is a Minolta SRT-101 single lens reflex camera tucked away in the suitcase I inherited from Grandmother along with other old photographic technology. When… Read more
