VISITING THE OLD YARN SHOP IN OLD WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA

All natural yarns, dyed with natural colors. For a knitter, probably the place to be! For a visitor, interesting, but just for looking.

DESERT PATHS

Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge – April 28, 2017 In the course of events, I dove back into my Arizona folders and realized there are maybe a thousand more pictures ready for processing. So today, we are back in the desert ... the gritty paths in the great Southwest.

ARIZONA DESERT IN BLACK & WHITE AND A PORTRAIT

A Photo a Week Challenge: Black & White From Nancy Merrill:  Looking back through past challenges, I found that I have never done a dedicated black and white challenge. It really surprised me. I love editing in black and white. When I was still shooting with film, I loved using black and white dedicated film, … Continue reading ARIZONA DESERT IN BLACK & WHITE AND A PORTRAIT

SOPHISTICATED SKEWERING

One of my pieces was posted on a highly political board elsewhere. You can look it up at INTELLIGENCE FOR THE UNINTELLIGENT – AND BANNON. I gave permission and up it went. Before its time in the sun was complete, it had gotten dozens of responses. Being me, I tried to keep up with all the … Continue reading SOPHISTICATED SKEWERING

VAMPIRE COP IN TORONTO – FOREVER KNIGHT

I discovered Forever Knight when it was in reruns on the Sci Fi channel. It was showing around 2 in the morning. Garry was working the dawn patrol and had already left for work by the time the show came on.

KNACKERED OR IN AMERICAN, “POOPED”

Knackered. Over-tired. Exhausted. Pooped. Too tired to even think about "it." I got an almost entire night's sleep last night and rather than being wide awake and ready to run, I feel like going back to bed and doing it for another 10 or 12-hours. Sleep deficit builds. I've been working on this sleep deficit … Continue reading KNACKERED OR IN AMERICAN, “POOPED”

KEEP THE THOUGHT

A good idea is like a dream.  Perhaps it is a dream, in waking form.  It comes misty and bright. Beautiful, floating in your mind. Catch it  before it flies away because it will fade to a mostly forgotten memory in minutes. No matter how certain you are that you won't forget it, I bet … Continue reading KEEP THE THOUGHT

BARBERSHOP AROUND THE CORNER – GARRY ARMSTRONG (WITH NEW PICTURES)

Haircuts can be a complex problem for a guy. Nay, you say? Yay, I say -- if you're a man of color. Not all barbers can cut "our kind" of hair. It's one of America's darker secrets. If one has curly, sometimes called "kinky" hair, barbers are befuddled and sometimes nervous. White barbers. Fellas used to … Continue reading BARBERSHOP AROUND THE CORNER – GARRY ARMSTRONG (WITH NEW PICTURES)
