I was just finishing up my post to 750 Words for the day and was thinking about how I was writing about the most mundane things like cleaning the litter box (I am using a litter made out of recy...

Don’t tell anyone, but the sun is out and we can see! Oh hello sun. I know many of you have had about enough of it so it is wonderful you are sending some our way. Thank you. There are robins an...

---

Much as I grumble I do know that we need winter so that we can have spring. The storms this season have scoured and prepared the earth and the trees for what comes next. We even had a hard frost...

---

I was walking through downtown last Saturday thinking about this picture I took at just this time of year a few years back. It is a working of time on things photo but I also very much like the ...

---

I sure enjoyed the no ads while it lasted… It is always an interesting challenge to pick a picture I have taken that reflects my current mood and the world outside. Right at this moment it is ab...

---

Taking advantage of Audible’s 2 for 1 credit sale I downloaded a couple of audiobooks to keep me busy and out of trouble. I am about halfway through the series on Western Philosophy and still re...

---

I know, I know, 2015 is not a leap year in the traditional sense but Carlo wanted me to say that 2015 is the year of the leap. He is going for his personal best. So, the bridge above, this is o...

---

I love love love the no ads thing! Thank you. This is the boathouse on the river about a mile down the Springwater Corridor multi-use path almost directly across the river from where I live. It ...

---

So yep. They eliminated my Take No Prisoner’s boss’s position and now I report to Mr. Narcissistic Personality Disorder. (Mr. NPD) Other than keeping my job, which is a very very good thing for ...

---

The most difficult thing about my odd relationship with Mr. Fine China (note the past tense here, he has finally stopped “liking” the intermittent Facebook posts I put up) is that he was a maste...

---

This is kind of festive in a returning of the light and fertile earth sort of way. I am so looking forward to spring. Not that winter doesn’t have its beauty… it does, but when it is cold and we...

---

By Carlo T.H. Cat Salute! Lets just get this out of the way…Auntie Kes says that the T.H. stands for “the handsome” and I can’t help but agree. I know I look a little sad in this shot Mom took o...

---

Yesterday evening we were having record breaking rains in a weirdly warm environment and I was homebound. My oldest sister called. This is indeed a very rare occurrence. The way things work in t...

---

By Diego T.B. Cat Mom and Auntie Kes have brought me all sorts of toys. I have eight different kinds of rattily balls and colored pipe cleaners and tissue paper. I have mice in various sizes and...

---

It was bound to happen eventually if one is long enough in a particular body. I got on a relatively crowded bus with a cloth bag full of groceries on Saturday afternoon and moved towards the ba...

---

This is what it looks like outside right now. I took this on my birding class this time last year. Somehow it seems appropriate with the news about sequencing the genome for various classes of b...

---

Diego likes shiny things; nail clippers, tweezers, the gold mouse laser pointer on a keychain (they clearly have never encountered a laser pointer before coming to live here) my hair… He is a ha...

---

Diego apparently has the ability to teleport from room to room, or else he can be in two places at once without being anywhere at all. Kes tells me that my brother calls this site-to-site transp...

---

If you look carefully at this tree shot you can see a squirrel jumping from one branch to the other. I personally just like the light. We had abundant unexpected dreamy light yesterday but it wa...

---

So one of the things I have been a little concerned about during the adoption process with the boys is that now I have even more of an excuse to stay home and not interact with others. I took th...

---

I keep trying; really I do, to get decent shots of the cat boys. It is hard in such low light. You’ll just have to make do with an atmospheric picture taken about an hour ago with my phone of th...

---

Because we have such a wide variety of trees here, our leaf litter often makes beautiful patterns. There is a kind of beauty in decay. I wish I could feel that way about my aging face. This mor...

---

Mount St. Helens from the top of a public stairway a few blocks from my place last Sunday morning. We maybe see her one out of 15 days with the weather pattern here even though she is only 50 mi...

---

For those of you not enamored of felines, this picture from Sunday is for you. We all survived our big day yesterday but it was quite the day. Because over the years getting Stella in the carri...

---

Well, the picture is a little dark but remarkably they are not moving. They are now grooming and bapping and biting each other. Sometimes I look up and they are quietly rolling across the floor ...
