Tuesday's View

 I started Tuesday's View last fall to see what the world outside my window looked like over a year. Taking a picture each week has helped me pay more attention to the world around me.

 I like looking back to see how the landscape changes through the seasons. Winter sky has a different quality than spring ...

 ... and the photos bring back warm - and chilly - memories.

 As much as I love my "Tuesday View", I am ready to try something new. I want to take a closer look at the things, living and non-living, that share the world I live in.

So look for "Wordless Wednesdays" starting in October - where I'll share photos or journal entries of neat things I find in my backyard, along the roadside or even on an old bridge.

Care to join me? Just head out with your notebook and a pencil, or grab a camera and look closely at the world around you. Come on! It will be an adventure.

late afternoon sun

breezy blue sky

crickets sing.

Tuesday's View

crows volley calls

between hills hidden in cloud

Tuesday's View

gray sky, dry grass

even the crickets pray

for rain

looking for Pufflings? Good Luck! They're somewhere... I just saw them...

chicory and queen anne's lace bloom

where mower has yet to venture -

bees thrive on my lack of mowing motivation.

They say it will rain - 

we pray, toss m&m's

to no avail.

don't let that green fool you;

we need rain!

Surrounded by Green

 First light hits the hickory and washes out the sky - 

another blue and hot day.

Phoebe calls the morning

singing the same two notes again

and again until at last

the sun awakes

after forsythia

the oak and hickory - 

buds still small mouse ears.

They call it "April Fool's" for a reason...

Tuesday's View

Early morning clouds rise
from the valleys
and then disappear into the blue.
