CRYSTAL CLEAR

The cold weather this week reminded me of the rare ice storm we had last winter. This is a milkweed pod from my garden with a topping of ice. The air was crystal clear that morning and the wind perfectly still, so this little image turned out quite sharp and I was pleased.

WEDDING RING

It's our anniversary this week and Melanie & I have been married 28 years. I struggled with this photo and retook it over 20 times at different angles. The photo is just like marriage. In the same way, we have to work at it all the time. It's not giving to each other 50%-50%, but instead 100%/100%. We're happy and we face our problems together as one.

FEATHER

This is from one of our 5 chickens. It's interesting how different feathers can look when magnified.

JUST FOR FUN ~ LAUGH IN BLACK & WHITE

I'm taking a break this week from a 'serious' post to bring you this!

This was on a row filled with only black and white objects. It was quite fun to snap a black and white photo of a black and white display.

I had to laugh. :-)

Black & White, Black & White....I felt so at home on this aisle!

Happy Weekend.

THE UKULELE PLAYER

Our younger son, Alex, is quite the musician. To most older people like myself, the ukulele is just a toy.

But as I've listened and learned I now know that it is a serious musical instrument capable of the most beautiful music.

I wish I could include a music clip of my son's ukulele music, but I'm not quite there on embedding such things.

Instead, I can include a clip of the most famous of all ukulele players; IZ of Hawaii singing and playing on a white sandy beach.
