The Motel From a Dream
Staying in normal chain hotels is pretty boring. Although it can be a bit of a risk to stay in some random motel, it always makes for a more interesting story and a more fun experience. It was summer 2018, and I was looking for a place to stay on a last minute weekend trip […]
Just Off the Desert Road
Just a few turns off the interstate, in the vast open desert, abandoned towns and buildings sit. Free to explore, there are no fences or barriers. No one else is even in sight. The sun was setting over this forgotten little campground. A place where people probably spent many fun summer vacations, now overgrown on […]
Film Around the Home
One early spring evening, some time ago, I loaded up my little vintage Argus film camera and snapped some photos around the house and yard, and dinner cooked away on the stove. It had just rained and the weather was starting to warm up. Later that day we went on a walk. Spring was finally […]
Night of the Witch
The summer heat is finally gone. The days have gotten colder, and the night comes a little sooner now. Leaves have started changing colors and falling to the ground. Everything feels a little spookier. I love this time of year. Two years ago I spent most of September and October sewing this Halloween dress. I […]
Cat Photos Friday: Ghoul Kittens
My sister adopted two kittens that look like little skeleton ghouls! This guy above is Kevin with the pants, and his sister pictured below is Maisie the party goblin. They’re so cute and playful and friendly. It’s so much fun to go and visit them! They are living at my Mom’s house with her three […]
You Never Know Who May Be Watching
Coming home from work, after a long and crazy Monday. Finally home. I came home to a completely destroyed back door. I saw it from the outside. I didn’t dare go in. Whoever did this at least closed the door to the back porch. Cloud was prancing around the scene of the crime, and I […]
Tulips
I’ve grown to really like Tulips. They never were one of my top favorite flowers, but I like that they seem to stay in bloom longer than any of my other bulbs, which bloom for a couple days and then turn into what looks like an old brown tissue. This fall I am going to plant […]
Flower Explosion
I am always amazed at how quickly winter turns into spring. How one day you see some green poking up through the dirt, and then barely a week later. Flowers everywhere. This Hummingbird Moth loved the flowers! And just as quickly as they bloomed, the flowers faded away. Not to be seen again for another […]
Cherry Blossoms
Many Streets downtown are lined with cheery trees and for a few weeks each spring, there is a glorious display of light pink cherry blossoms. These particular trees are right outside my office window at work. I’ve never had a desk near a window before so I was quite overjoyed to be looking at these […]
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter from the cats! Don’t pig out on too much chocolate 🙂
