Life with cats, and other things…
0626/16th September 2025 In the past few days I've taken rather a lot of pictures, some of them not too awful, but today I thought I would share these... Pink has been a predominant colour of late. . Mornings are often rosy. . And sometimes a fairly ordinary looking evening sky begins to glow. . … Continue reading Window watch
1500/10th January 2024 For the second time in as many days, a container of yogurt threw itself from the fridge and onto my foot, this time splashing nicely across my shoe and the kitchen floor. It seems I have splashes on my mind. . Hardly of yogurt, though. Splashes of light. Especially late in the … Continue reading Magic moments
1045/22nd August 2023 If I was less inept, I could have captured the sound of this morning's cool breeze that rustled the trees behind me. As yet so far as I am aware, there is no way to spontaneously capture the delightful scent of freshly mown grass. This morning was perfection! . The object of … Continue reading Go in safety
14th April 2023 An 8-minute trip to the vet wasn't likely to offer new photographic opportunities, given that we have driven up and down this route numerous times recently, so for once I didn't grab the camera. But taking pictures has become a compulsion. The iPhone went to work. Which produced a curious result... . … Continue reading Squirrely?
Battenkill River, 24th March 2023 A few more photographs from our latest drive. Often when we go off on one of these outings, we take random turns without worrying where the road may take us. It's one of the luxuries of modern technology. With a GPS you will always find your way home. Though we … Continue reading Simple
0706/16th April 2021 Snow had seemed a possibility, but I was mildly surprised to see that it had materialized. Fortunately, this time it was barely more than a dusting so not a problem for the early buds, I think. Little Red was rather taken aback but he found something to nibble beneath the white stuff: … Continue reading Ides of April
1733/8th March 2021 Last night's interesting sky... ...turned into this morning's equally great tableau. Time is a bit short today, so I am just going to post some more sky pictures. The above were taken between 0630 and 0700. Then I switched the mode on my camera to see what would happen: The first group … Continue reading Dawn patrol
A break in the clouds. I hope it means clear skies ahead....for everyone Ever since I came back east, I've been "shooting" the sky. Except on a plain grey day, such as we have now, there is always something different to view. Some new form of art. Things that fly have always caught my attention, … Continue reading A healthy addiction
August 29th, everything normal in Cambridge. Just a week ago, we'd had the 12 minute weather phenomenon! Things were going along as they do in a Cambridge afternoon, when suddenly things began to beep. Not the "Hal" beep (our temperamental washing machine), or the microwave, but a rather shrill, urgent "All Hands on Deck" beep. … Continue reading Not a tornado
Our bright morning, yesterday, turned into a rainy afternoon, then as it was growing dusk, I was drawn outside by the light, and by the wild and wonderful sky. I never grow tired of it. Nor the sound of night creatures singing their tunes. Frogs and cicadas, I suppose. The night before, we brought in … Continue reading Wild things
