Changes

Things are changing in my back yard, the cypress is quickly going bald; and the leaves of the sycamore are crinkling now like scraps of paper no longer wanted, and its scaling bark looks.....haunted. The seasons come and the seasons go; the sun shines and the winds do blow. The rains fall and the... Sign in to see full entry.

Amelioration

According to the calendar, it is two days away, but in reality, it is here already--autumn. The weather is perfectly cool, but sunny. The progression of color of the leaves will definitely keep my attention until there is nothing left but bare trunks and limbs, and winter is on its way again. Sign in to see full entry.

Tapsy's Pond

Morning mist at summer's end burns off, as the sun rises high in the sky, and Tapsy's Pond begins a new day as nocturnal critters skittle off into the deeper brush to hide, or sleep or just abide their time 'til eve rolls round again. Blogit trivia: Does anyone remember what long-gone Blogit writer... Sign in to see full entry.

Nature Ignored

Just a few steps outside my door the children play on a pretty day... or stay away if there's something more enticing. Sign in to see full entry.

By The Side Of The Road

The out of the way places, by the side of the road, call to me. "Beauty is here, right here, not at your planned destination." I saw one of those yesterday-- an amazing expanse of wild sunflowers heads lazily reaching toward the afternoon sun. I wanted so badly to stop but it was not a proper... Sign in to see full entry.

The Vines Of Forest Park

Just across the road, and down my favorite city trail, beneath the giant trees of long ago's beginnings, I often pass... and dream of days gone bye. Morning brings the flitting and the happy chirping of cardinals of the brightest red and prettiest songs. That's when the fat opossum with the pointed... Sign in to see full entry.

My Jungle Canopy

The bright, warm morning sunshine disappeared into the gathering gloom, and the jungle suddenly became dark and menacing as moisture drizzled on everything green. As evening comes on, one begins to see the glowing eyes of creatures on every side inching closer. Actually, the photo is taken from my... Sign in to see full entry.

Come Back Little Hummingbirds

Trumpet vine calling to the humming birds, "Come back my little ones. Don't fly away and leave me yet. If you are not here to enjoy my nectar, the humans will mow me down and carry away my dead branches so that I don't keep reaching out. "Come back my little ones. I know the nights are getting...

Photo #2 - Where Is He Now?

He had been following us ever since he heard us first laughing together. He must have thought that we were laughing at him--not true. We always laugh and have fun when we are together, the three of us. Life is too short not to laugh. We didn't notice him at first. When we did notice him by the pool,... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

Well, Well, Well! Since it appears that every Blogit member, who is going to share his/her photo with us, has already done so, and since this blog is just sitting here going to waste for lack of new entries, I hereby, have decided that I am going to post some of my favorite photos, some that I have personally taken, some taken of me and mine, some that friends have taken and given permission for me to share with you.
