The latest squirrels and spring greenery, and goldfish

https://www.flickr.com/photos/therovingeye/ There were several squirrels out today, feeding on sunflower seeds, though not usually at the same time. One little black one had its full attention on the seed cup, while the other, who maybe got into some coffee beans somewhere, was all over the porch... Sign in to see full entry.

Spring skies over Colorado

Spring brings on the green leaves and flowering of trees like the maple out front, and now the white lilacs in the back are showing what sort of show they intend in the next week or so. Sunsets get ever more dramatic as the season of storms rolls in, too. https://www.flickr.com/photos/therovingeye/ Sign in to see full entry.

Speaking of Australia...

I mentioned in the writing blog that I have been reading a book by Colleen McCullough called THE TOUCH. I didn't actually much enjoy the story so much as the history of Victorian Australia. (Really, she has written better!) I have just found an Australian tv show offered through Hulu, called WHO'S... Sign in to see full entry.

Morgentor

https://www.flickr.com/photos/morning_gate/ Here is a link to someone who "favorited" one of my images. I went visiting, and I know some of you here will enjoy a stroll through Morning Gate's images of plants and landscapes of Europe. The names look, to me, to be German. Enjoy!

making book

I love making my photos into books, it is so much neater than loose photos, or glued into just one album. Looking through the ones I've had lying around here and there, I decided to catalog them, to keep track of them, and display them for anyone interested in them. It took a while longer than I...

Fort Denison

It has a fascinating and colorful history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Denison One element that I can't help but roll my eyes over is how the small outcropping of sandstone far out in the harbor was quarried for stone to build part of Sydney, then a few years later, they carried stone back...

My Sydney Weekend

It began about 4AM with a drive to the airport. They--my daughter and her husband--had asked if I'd like to know where we were going ahead of time, and I said, no, make it a surprise. Around 3:30 was the first I knew we were flying wherever it was we were going. The flight took off into the barely... Sign in to see full entry.

For Kabu and Wiley, and particularly Nautikos

Since Wiley can't be with Kabu on her Australia visit, I have been going through the photos of the wonderful suprise weekend that my daughter and son-in-law treated me to a few years ago, when I visited in New Zealand. This lot is a treat for Naut, too. http://www.flickr.com/photos/therovingeye/ Sign in to see full entry.

Yellowstone: The North Road

The mud pots and bison herds are left behind, and the road climbs out of the great caldera and cuts through evidences of vulcanism of ages past. Lifted from the meadows and plains, and the lake shore, from the high ground, one has long views of the landscape of Yellowstone country.... Sign in to see full entry.
