Happy Sunday! Sophia of Photographias is hosting this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. In her post, she showed photos that illustrated the cycle of day and night. I’m not an avid night photographer because of my astigmatism, which renders me partially blind in the night hours, but I do hope to show a similar progression of the photos I took on my road trip.

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.

Happy Sunday! Ann-Christine from Leya is the lovely hostess for this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge and she has, indeed, chosen an easy yet difficult topic (for me, at least) and that is to illustrate in photos a favorite quote or a poem.

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.

I took this photo on the walk on that foggy Sunday morning a few weeks ago.

With my Christmas road trip only being 4 days away (Friday), I am as festive as I can be. I wrote I wasn’t going to put any sort of holiday decorations but in the last minute, after seeing how haunted my house looked with a flickering garage light, I decided to put up some battery-operated lights on the windows, held up by none-other-than tape. They go on and off automatically, so I won’t have to worry about a thing.

It’s funny for me to think about these colors – red and green – because when it comes time for the year-end holidays, I would often contemplate on how these colors would look on my braces.

It’s Thanksgiving this week in the U.S. and for as long as I’ve had this blog, I’ve always done a “Things I’m thankful for…” post but to be completely frank, if it wasn’t for this week’s #SundayStills, I just about completely forgot. Of course, I know I have a shortened work week but that’s about it. It was a chaotic week last week with road trip planning and a more chaotic weekend. I won’t go into detail in this post. It would ruin the tone.

It has been a very mild start to winter so far. Looking back at my posts from last November, the first snow storm had already fallen and I wrote about having layers of frost and ice in the garden, yikes. And emergency alert about snow squalls? Double Yikes!
