In brief, these posts serve to introduce new readers — and reintroduce regular readers — to photos from the early days of this blog and, occasionally, to photos from days before this blog came into existence. Today's gallery takes us back nine years to a gallery of just stuff. These photos are from this SmugMug... Continue Reading →

I wave at you three
For them wondering about the title, "I wave at you"<<link and "I wave at you two"<<link are previous posts exploring/offering wave photos (and, if interested, one of those explores my legs). This short post continues the titles (with fewer photos, and no legs ... maybe). So, that's right out of the camera, except I turned... Continue Reading →
Goodbye Twitter and Facebook
If there's a social platform with any traction, I usually have an account on it (whether I use it or not) . . . which means I have both a Facebook and a Twitter account . . . which I will cease using. Mind you, I won't erase the accounts for the same reasons I... Continue Reading →

So, for them who want to leave comments
Unlike some blogs, I don't restrict comments, although I reserve the right to blow them away if they fail to meet common-sense standards or fail to follow the rules one can read in the FAQ page<<link. That means that all you need to comment is a valid email. You don't even have to use your... Continue Reading →

This and that and the other thing
It's been a tough few weeks. Those who read the previous post know of the other thing, but this and that were also a bother. But, yes, the other thing overshadowed all else. We're still in the disbelief mode mixed with the "I'm just gonna cry for a bit" mode. My brother died of an... Continue Reading →
General observations about stuff while waiting at the airport . . .
I started this blog post as we sat at the LaGuardia Delta terminal waiting for our flight . . . which had been delayed; twice. That was this past Saturday. I hate wasting written words, so I thought I would finish the post and intermix a few of the cartoons and jokes I've saved over the last nine... Continue Reading →
Guess the herb
A quick post as I prepare for sleep. I know all the names but can only associate one to the corresponding photos with any kind of accuracy. Mind you, I asked a few times but the information refuses to imprint into long-tern memory. I'm currently in a very noisy Comfort Suites hotel. I'll give them... Continue Reading →
American Robin taking a bath
People might wonder why I haven't posted much of late. Yeah, me too. I mean, it's not for lack of material. At last count, I have 1.67 gazillion photos to pick from and at least ten times that many words to go with them. Just lazy, I tell you. Lazy and preoccupied with many things that...

The Robin’s Nest
On May 1st the shrubs and a couple of trees got a much-needed trimming. This Magnolia tree — planted too close to the house — got a pretty good trim . . . I noticed something after the landscapers left . . . For them not interested in reading, you can go directly to the... Continue Reading →
