The Silence of Winter at Sunset

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Yes, I know it is not officially winter. But the mid-Michigan weather suggests otherwise. We have been experiencing frigid temperatures. Anyone who follows this blog knows I love sunsets (and sunrises). So I still think the caption is fitting.

Have a wonderful day.

How’s the weather in your area?

Until next…peace

Happy International Raccoon Appreciation Day

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I did not know there was an entire day dedicated to raccoons. Don’t let those cute little faces fool you, raccoons are pesky little creatures.

To keep them from destroying my bird feeders, I actually have to grease the poles. I must look like a right fool out there greasing the poles to my bird feeders. But the silly process works.

Remembering 9/11

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Do you remember 9/11/01? What were you doing? I was working at a grocery store at the time. One of the customers mentioned the first attack. Then, we heard the news of a second….and the devastating events that continued. I had a small television brought over to the store. All of the employees would take turns going back to the little room to watch the news.

My college class was canceled that night. Our professor emailed us to stay home. Even in rural Michigan, we all felt the attacks that day.

May those who died that fateful day rest in peace.

Until next time…peace

 

Happy World Photography Day

Posted on by Rebecca C.

How long have you been taking pictures? When I was 12, my grandfather gave me an old 126 film camera.

I thought I had the world. Compared to today’s cameras, the 126 is a dinosaur. But I still remember the feeling of setting up displays or photographing nature. Over the years, my photo skills have drastically improved. Bu my love for nature is still as strong as ever.

I wish he could see how my photography has changed over the years.

And, how a simple camera was the start of a lifetime adventure in photography.

Until next time…peace
