SUNSET ON THE ROAD HOME

I took these pictures a couple of years ago, and I was never quite happy with them. I went back to the originals and redid them with minimal processing, and while they are less colorful, I like them better. My favorite The filters had changed the colors. I lost the pink in the clouds, but … Continue reading SUNSET ON THE ROAD HOME

CHANGING SEASONS

The Changing Seasons, March 2022 Well, this has certainly been another highly changeable weather month for New England. Warm, cold, even colder, summertime, hail, rain, and finally, flowers budding and waiting for just a few days of warm, sunny weather and then, spring will arrive for real. I was busily plugging away at drawing until … Continue reading CHANGING SEASONS

SKETCHBOOK 42 – WINTER SUNSET

I did a lot of drawing last night, so this sketchbook will come up a few more times. Meanwhile, I really liked how this one came out. It's very moody. I should have used a bigger piece of paper! This is the view you get at sunset in the winter on our road, which faces … Continue reading SKETCHBOOK 42 – WINTER SUNSET

THE TREES BY THE RIVER

FOTD – March 18 – Winter trees by the Blackstone I finally processed most of the pictures I liked well enough to post. And just to make life even more perfect, my computer went bonkers yesterday. I had to do some major cleaning up of both hard drives, and also backed up everything that wasn't … Continue reading THE TREES BY THE RIVER

STOP THE CLOCK

Fandango’s Provocative Question #161 I've hated daylight savings time as long as I've been aware it existed, so this change can't come soon enough for me! Assuming you agree we should have the same clock time year-round rather than moving up an hour in spring and back an hour in the fall, do you favor going … Continue reading STOP THE CLOCK

THE GREAT WHITE HURRICANE OF MARCH 11, 1888

It has snowed every night for the past week, but only a few inches at a time. We often get more snow (or rain) later in the day, but every morning when I get up, the ground and the deck are white. Since I'm still hurting from my last fall, I'm forbidden to go out … Continue reading THE GREAT WHITE HURRICANE OF MARCH 11, 1888

GREEN, GREEN, IT’S GREEN THEY SAY

SKETCHBOOK 23: 2-21-2022 I wanted to do a couple of drawings all in green. No flowers, just leaves. Maybe it's the yearning for spring to come. It usually hits me this time of year. We get warm spells in February that feel very spring-like, but usually the thermometer pops back down to very cold for … Continue reading GREEN, GREEN, IT’S GREEN THEY SAY

ODD SQUARE ON A SURPRISING SNOWY MORNING

FEBRUARY'S ODD SQUARES We didn't expect snow. Well, maybe we knew there was a possibility (small possibility) of snow, but no one predicted it. The first I heard was an alert -- at 7 this morning -- from Alexa that we were in the middle of a snow alert with snow expected to continue throughout … Continue reading ODD SQUARE ON A SURPRISING SNOWY MORNING

SQUARE ODDS – AN ODDLY ADORABLE RED GIRL SQUIRREL

The Square Odds - February Oddly enough, this is the cutest squirrel I've ever seen, much less photographed. She (look carefully -- definitely a she) was so tiny she was closer in size to one of the flying squirrels than a gray squirrel -- about half the size of a normal red squirrel. But perfect … Continue reading SQUARE ODDS – AN ODDLY ADORABLE RED GIRL SQUIRREL
