The character of the two ravens looking at the camera is so great.  When my neice was little and in daycare she and the other little kids called ravens "buddha", "buddha birds".  I think it had to do with their impressive size and watchful presence, but who knows for sure? 02-13-2012

Love for Ravens Too

Well, we are still under a thick blanket of no color here in Wisconsin.  White skies, and a bit of snow lying around. There are ravens that have been living in my neighborhood for the past 2 or 3 years.

Whooshy, foofy clouds on a mild winter day. 01/31/12

Cloud Song

It is the last day of January 2012.  And what a beautiful sky it was this afternoon.  And such a mild day.  I look at these photos from what I saw in person, and I think there is still so

Samara and Wesley, Jan 2011.  He is holding her arm so dearly.  His eyes are so loving and proud, aren't they?

A Prince of a Cat

He was a big surprise to us.  We had told our daughter, in no uncertain terms, that we would not *ever* be getting a kitten.  She was 8 years old then.  We had two cats and a dog.  That was

AWAKE by CS Sherin a bazaar of ravens flew above me this morning, heading southeast, to a stash of shiny pie tins, golf balls and tinsel – probably. their excitement led me to run inside and crash beside you playfully,

Letting the Light In

The final part of the light series this week, my daughter’s hand also glows in the sunlight.  And then we let the morning light all the way in.

First morning light glows through my hand - Jan. 2012

Morning Glow

When the bright first morning light shone in, I raised my hand to shade my eyes from the piercing power of it.  I then noticed the glow of my hand.  So I started to play with the light.

Morning’s Light

This is the beginning of a series this week.  Light breaking into the bedroom in the morning.  How glorious.

wispy clouds, jan. 2012

Faint Wisps

If I didn’t know better I might think the images below are of a feathery type of yarn.  But, no, they are wisps of clouds set faintly in the sky….small glimpses of tree branches confirm it.  I’m sure they did

Our 12 1/2 year old unity candle lit and reflected on the yew tree outside, from the picture window.  Jan 12, 2012

Inside Out

There are so many possibilities in naming these two shots that I took last night (below).  The inside is literally reflected outside.  I also thought of:  when worlds collide, secret doorway, parallel lives, fourth dimension, freaky friday…..whatever it is, I

Wesley taking a sun bath.  He is wearing his winter coat, btw.  And at 2 1/2 years old, he already weighs 13 pounds!  January 11, 2012.

Sun Bath

We finally have some snow.  No one wanted to complain that we didn’t have any.  Quite a few mentioned how strange it was though.  Now we have snow.  It is cold, windy and white – just as it should be.

Chrysanthemum Tea, Jan. 2012

Chrysanthemum Tea

Have been having quite a bout with dry eyes this winter.  Chrysanthemum Tea was suggested.  It seems to help a bit, but more than anything, the steam and the look of the flowers in water were so enjoyable to me.
