This is another Thursday’s Special photo challenge from Paula at Lost In Translation. Today the theme is cloudscape. She asks: Are clouds interesting enough to make a picture by themselves? I hope they are! Show me the clouds that you’ve seen – Happy Thursday!

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Purple
I bought this beautiful head of Cauliflower this morning and then realized it would be perfect for Cee’s challenge! Purple cauliflower gets its beautiful hue from the presence of the antioxidant anthocyanin, which is also found in red cabbage and red wine. Its color is naturally occurring and is not due to scientific manipulation. It’s […]
Serendipity Photo Prompt: A Face In The Crowd
Every Wednesday Marilyn at Serendipity gives us a photo prompt to use to write about one of our own photos. This week the topic is A Face In The Crowd. I took this prompt very literally. A few months ago I was in New York City walking along Broadway when I saw a large crowd […]
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Take A New Photo
There was a torrential downpour this past Sunday, just as we were on the way home from an outing. Flash Flood warnings were sent out, my emergency alert blaring on my cell phone. Driving was no picnic and I was glad my husband was behind the wheel and we had only a 10 minute drive to […]
Be Your Best Self
Someone I know from town, not a friend, just an aquaintance, stopped me the other morning as I was taking my walk, to issue a litany of complaints about some people that he had seen that in his eyes were acting inappropriately and to express his unhappiness about them. This is not out of the ordinary […]
A Photo a Week: The Circle of Life
Nancy Merrill-A Photo A Week
Looking and Listening Sunday
A local flower nursery advertised they were having an “Art Imitating Life Imitating Art Show” with artists displaying their floral and nature artwork amid the flowers and plants in the nursery. My husband and I decided to make it part of our Sunday outing. We arrived to find the art seemed to be in short supply, […]
Sunday Stills, the next challenge: Circles
The Wedding Ring Quilt I made This quilt was a challenge as piecing and sewing together those curved pieces was not so easy. The actual border of the quilt is round, the photo was taken while it was hanging on a wall, giving it the illusion of being sewn onto a square, but it isn’t. When […]
Not A Wild Goose Chase
The family of geese I have been seeing at my favorite pond allowed me to stand very close today while the five goslings ate breakfast. They are the sweetest things to watch. They dined on grass and leaves, and when sated took leave back into the water. On the Way To the Dining Area Looks […]
Daily Prompt: Don’t Look Back
Today’s Daily Prompt says: Sure, you turned out pretty good, but is there anything you wish had been different about your childhood? Oh let me count the ways…. but to what end? Seeing as this prompt is a re run of a re run, I will share with you the links to some of my previous […]
One Word Photo Challenge: Cold
It was so cold this winter the nearby river stayed frozen over for months
Serendipity Photo Prompt: Hands
Every Wednesday Marilyn at Serendipity gives us a photo prompt for us to use to write about one of our own photos. This week the subject is hands. I have small hands. They are small but strong- they are good at baking and rolling out dough, they know how to embroider, crochet and knit. They […]
Cee’s Share Your World
Cee has changed up her Share Your World this week- this week we’re making lists! Here’s what she says: Begin making four lists and have at least four items on each list. You can chose your lists out of the ones I have listed below. Have fun. Here are the four I chose from Cee’s list: […]
Turtle Travels
I went down to my favorite pond this morning, and as I started out on the pathway, always on the lookout for interesting things, I saw what looked like a rock, but I went to check it out anyway. Lo and behold, it was a turtle! I have seen many painted turtles laying out sunning […]
Thursday’s Special: Opposites
Morning Lingerer
Daily Prompt: Linger-Tell us about times in which you linger — when you don’t want an event, or a day to end. What is it you love about these times? Why do you wish you could linger forever? First cup of morning coffee, quiet all but for the birds singing, the sun slowly lighting the […]

Wordless Wednesday
Written in Stone
This Friday marks the 17th anniversary of my mother in laws death. In Hebrew this is called the “Yahrzeit”. The custom in our family is to visit the grave of the deceased in the week leading up to the Yahrzeit, which is what my husband and I did on Sunday. Nine months before my mother in […]
Counting Clothes
The Daily Prompt: To Sleep, Perchance to Dream Sleep is one-third of our lives: write a post about it. Do you love naps? Have trouble falling alseep? Wish you could remember your dreams? Remember something especially vivid? Snuggle under a blanket, or throw the windows wide open? Meditate on sleep. I remember years ago when […]
Sunday Stills, the next challenge: Babies
Last week as I looked out on the pond I like to visit, I spied a mother duck and her ducklings. They swam in a group, right up against her and each other as you can see from the ripples in the water. It was so sweet to see them move as group, holding on […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Enveloped
Crossing the Throgs Neck Bridge in New York this morning, we were enveloped in the fog
Travel Theme: Hats
I love to wear hats! This photo of me was taken in 1991, wearing a hat my mother in law bought for me. I loved it, and especially loved that it went so perfectly with the dress that I was wearing that was navy with white on the sleeve cuffs. Back in 1983, my friend […]
Clothes Horse

How important are clothes to me asks The Daily Prompt? Well honestly, pretty important. I’ll admit it, I love clothes. I have loved clothes since I was a kid. […]
