For the month of July, Jude is looking for a bench with‘Unusual Details’ This bench sits in a butterfly garden within a nature preserve. The plants there attract butterflies and many birds too and it makes for a nice spot to sit and watch. I liked the flowers on the back which fit in with the garden, […]
The best known symbol of America, a symbol of freedom, a symbol of our nation’s strength and unity. It consists of thirteen horizontal stripes, seven red alternating with 6 white. The stripes represent the original 13 colonies, the stars represent the 50 states of the Union. The colors of the flag are symbolic as well: Red symbolizes […]
The cobwebs I speak of are the ones inundating my mind. The definition I found online was: Cobwebs:confusion, indistinctness, or lack of order: “I’m so tired my head is full of cobwebs.” The week was filled with things I had no control over: the impending death of a friend now on home hospice, no communication […]
The Colossus of Constantine in Rome – what remains of it. The fragments are arranged from left to right: the right arm (with elbow), the head, the right kneecap, a right hand One of many fountains in Rome-once again we are dwarfed by its size
Commuting from New York City to the suburbs can be an arduous task The traffic was crawling so slowly I was able to to take photos of the bus next to the one I was in, and its wearied commuters
It’s always fun walking through a crafts fair to see what people are selling.
Another recycled prompt from The Daily Prompt. This is what I wrote back in February 2014 The Daily Prompt asks: At the end of your life,what sort of legacy will you leave? Describe the lasting effect you want to have on the world, after you’re gone. This is something I think about a lot. I […]
Doors spotted in New York City WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge
I spotted these “heads/busts” at a flea market. I have no idea what the one with the hands was supposed to be used for, she was just sitting there among the plates in the grass. The head with the hat startled me, with its fur boa wrapped around her neck. Odd Balls for sure.
My husband and I spent the morning on a bird watching walk with a local chapter of the Audubon Society. We visited a beautiful area of restored wetlands. We walked along stopping to listen and watch the birds, spotting many Cormorans in the water and an Osprey through one of the telescopes that was set up. We […]

For the month of July Jude at Travel Words is looking for a bench with ‘Unusual Details’ This month she wants to see photos of a bench which is different to the norm. It may be the shape, style, length, height, color, material or even location. I spotted this bench on the grounds of a Revolutionary War […]
I am always amazed to see flowers blooming amidst the bushes and reeds around the pond I visit everyday. Queen Anne’s Lace, Tiger Lilies, wild Petunias. Standing out in contrast to all the green that surrounds them. A marvel of nature.
I started looking through my photos for statues, knowing I had many in my collection as I find them a subject I like to photograph. As I scrolled through I kept coming upon photos of my husband posing with many of them. I decided to use the photos with him in them, even though from […]
I’ve got a bird’s eye view of Mrs. Cardinal, and she’s got a bird’s eye view of me
I saw that cartoon this morning and had to laugh. The times have changed, selfie is now a recognized word in the dictionary, and we are all able to document every place and moment of our lives using our phone cameras. Before this we had photo booths, first invented and patented in 1925, called the “Photomaton”. The original […]
I am an early riser. I am off from school all summer and people have asked if I am sleeping late which makes me laugh. 6:30 would be late for me, as my usual time to rise is between 5 and 6. I love the quiet of the early morning, the sound of the birds, […]
Yesterday I spent the day with my friend who is dying. On my way home I stopped at a Starbucks, and for the first time in my life I ordered (as per the suggestion of the girl behind the counter when I asked what I could get with whipped cream) a large, decaf iced toffee […]
For the month of June, Jude is looking for a bench with ‘Art Effects’ She wants to see photos with some post-processing – it can be subtle or bold as long as it includes a bench or even part of a bench This bench was along the path at a crafts fair, sitting in front of where […]
The mirrors on this escalator create a split image as you descend- you can see the 2nd floor above and below the first floor I am heading to. The mirror creates the line in the photo dividing it. As the escalator descended I got closer to the mirror and then actually went under it as […]

Here are Cee’s questions this week: What did you or did you not like about the first apartment you ever rented? I loved that it was mine! Every time I would lock the door behind me I remember the feeling of disbelief that I was actually living in my own apartment. It was a 1 […]
