#SundayStills: Monthly Color Challenge – Aquamarine Waters


The color aquamarine reminds me of the color of water but at the same time, aquamarine isn’t the color of water, it’s a blue with a bit of green mixed into it.

#SundayStills: Views from a #Window


Having been stuck at home for the long Martin Luther King Jr’s Day weekend because of the week-long snowstorm, I found myself with little to do. Actually, there’s lots to do – read a book, write a story, refresh blog, clean the house, etc. – but I just couldn’t bring myself to do any of it. Instead, I spent the weekend in Lightroom, looking for pictures to edit.

I have been trying to reflect on the year 2023 since 2024 has begun but I’m coming up blank. I feel like so much has happened in last year yet so little. So I think I will try to reflect on some of the big things that happened in my world in 2023.

Christmas Road Trip Day 2


Day 2 was another early start as the emotional nightmares caused by the scammers continued to terrorize me, resulting in another sleepless night. My Fitbit told me I only had 4-and-a-half hours of sleep the night before and again that night. That would mean I only had about 9 hours of sleep in two days.
