  • Our Crazy, Noisy Dogs

    I was awakened this afternoon (staying at home with the flu) to these crazy noises of our dog Buxley playing with Andy. I got up and shot this to capture the hard-to-believe noise he makes.

  • Mama said there would be days like these.

    This is what three consecutive nights of sub-freezing temperatures did to this plant. I shot this on a cold, cloudy morning just before it began to rain again. I know this is not a pretty picture, but it does document the morbidity of the scene as I saw it, with those dull colors.

    In the meantime, Andy and I are sick with the flu, so we don’t feel much better than this.

    Oh, and in case you’re wondering, I had to bundle up this morning and take the dogs for a walk, so I just snapped this quickly after the walk while I was still bundled up. And what am I still doing out of bed? All right, Mama, I’m going back to bed now…

    It’s below freezing here in Phoenix this morning, and the most that will come out of our kitchen sink is an occasional drip.

    I thought I’d experiment with a blue-toned monochrome for this image, since blue is the color of water (sort of), and the image was fairly monochromatic to begin with. The blue tone also seems to evoke the emotion of wanting… waiting… missing something.

    I find it challenging to do anything "religiously" (i.e. "consistently," pun intended), and remembering to take a photo of the chanukiah each night of Chanukah this year was no exception. It’s enough just to remember to light the candles (or, in this case, turn the light bulbs) each night at sundown, much less remember to take a photo of it after dark. So, forgive me for only offering the first and second nights, and the seventh (and if I remember tonight) the eighth nights.

    I decided to take this one with my better camera, and I went for a different angle this time because I liked the way the lights were reflected not once but twice in the dual-pane window.

    On another note, (more…)
