Looking at this photo makes my heart hurt. I took it the day before I left on vacation and it was the first time the Mama duck left the nest with her babies. They were so adorable and she looked so proud! When we returned a couple of days ago, I discovered that none ofContinue reading “June 11, 2021 – Photo”

June 10, 2021 – Marital Discord
Sigh. I think jumping onto this ‘moving’ train may not have been a good idea. It seems like we’ve been at each other’s throats ever since we both got on board. Whenever I get revved up about anything, he seems to put on the brakes, and vice versa. The only thing we’ve been in agreementContinue reading “June 10, 2021 – Marital Discord”

While strolling through the Botanic Gardens during our recent trip, I noticed between 5-6 ducklings swimming in a shallow pool/water feature. In this particular shot, I was able to capture two of them at once. The ‘feel’ of this image is very serene to me. I love so much about it, especially the reflection ofContinue reading “June 9, 2021 – Photo”
June 8, 2021 – Devil’s Advocate
I’m beginning to get the impression that people think I’m ‘all talk, no action’. As many times as my husband has ‘checked in’ to see whether I’m still on board to move, it’s hard to feel otherwise. And it’s not just my husband, it’s our kids. They want to know why suddenly I’ve had aContinue reading “June 8, 2021 – Devil’s Advocate”

I really love this photo, especially the way the light illuminates the white edges of the butterfly’s wings. By the way, this is the last butterfly image I’m going to post (this week). I was going to say ‘ever’ (because I sense you must be getting tired of them by now) but I know thatContinue reading “June 7, 2021 – Photo”
June 6, 2021 – A Dose of Reality
I am 99% sure that I want to move and my husband is 79% sure. And the reality is that we’ve got our work cut out for us if we want to make it happen. It’s going to take everything we’ve got and then some (energy, resources, money). Today was a real eye-opener because weContinue reading “June 6, 2021 – A Dose of Reality”

When I went to visit my girlfriend a couple of weeks ago, while walking along a trail nearby, we came across this lovely patch of purple irises. The color is so vibrant, it’s difficult not to stop and take notice. Named after the Greek goddess of the rainbow, irises bring color to the garden in spring andContinue reading “June 5, 2021 – Photo”
June 4, 2021 – A Complete 180
I think I’ve blown my husband’s mind. Scratch that. I know I’ve blown my husband’s mind. While out on a walk yesterday, we went past a house with a ‘for sale’ sign out in the front yard and I made a point to stop and collect one of the flyers that lists all of theContinue reading “June 4, 2021 – A Complete 180”

This is a photo of a white lilac flower (Syringa). I don’t believe there is anything more divine than the smell of a lilac in bloom. It is so intense and intoxicating. It is rare for me to ever pass by a blooming lilac bush without pressing my nose into one of the fragrant flowers.Continue reading “June 3, 2021 – Photo”
June 2, 2021 – Somewhere in the middle.
Have you ever noticed that there are certain people who (when you spend time around them) make you feel better about yourself? Whereas, alternatively, there are other people who make you feel far worse (when you hang out together)? In high school, I had two different, close friends, both with the name ‘Julie’. They wereContinue reading “June 2, 2021 – Somewhere in the middle.”
