ONE PHOTO AT A TIME – Stairway to Heaven

We spotted this little oddity on our way to the Paint Mines Interpretive Park near Colorado Springs. There was also a strange arrangement right next to it that looked like a landing site. Does anyone know what this all means? I know it's more than one photo, but it was necessary 🙂 Stay tuned for … Continue reading ONE PHOTO AT A TIME – Stairway to Heaven

Lake Huron Ice caves

[One Photo At A Time] – A Glimpse of The Ice Caves

We drove to Saugeen Shores to look at a few houses for sale.  It was nice to be able to get away from the hostages again and for the hostages to have some time away from us.  The Lake Huron shoreline transformed to a magical series of ice caves that will soon be gone.  We … Continue reading [One Photo At A Time] – A Glimpse of The Ice Caves

[One Photo At A Time] Grandpuppy is growing (teeth)

Our little grandpuppy, Penny, is not so much of a puppy anymore.  She is no longer a little fluff ball that is cuddly and round.  She is angley, tall, and ornery.  Grown all over, but mostly, she is made of many teeth! She talks back, she is defiant.  You guessed it.  She is a teen-puppy … Continue reading [One Photo At A Time] Grandpuppy is growing (teeth)

[One Photo At A Time] – Puppy Time

We are dogsitting Gracie, our niece's puppy.  She was going to stay with us for a month to keep the hostages company, but of course Covid swept in and changed everyone's plans and we'll have her only for a week.

[One Photo At A Time] When Life Gives You Lemons

You can read … Continue reading [One Photo At A Time] When Life Gives You Lemons

[One Photo At A Time) One Last Christmas Present

Or is it a Christmas miracle? No, we are not referring to the the snow.  Look closer and you will see a small red flag.  It indicates the buried fiber optics line that will be installed on Tuesday.  Since we moved to the countryside more than twenty years ago, we suffered through unreliable, slow, intermittent … Continue reading [One Photo At A Time) One Last Christmas Present

One Photo At A Time – Suspended

Don't we all feel suspended? This photo of a bird in flight seems as if it's suspended, and it it for many milliseconds during flight.  The end result is a forward movement and a destination.  This is how we choose to look at this temporary suspension.  It will be over. One of the things that … Continue reading One Photo At A Time – Suspended
