Shadow Shot Sunday - Sandy Seashore Shadows

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 returns, and although summer is not officially over, it feels like it may be (despite the warmest seasonal temps in New England all) year. 


So I return to 2002 and the first vacation we had a first generation digital camera (check the date stamps :) 


The shadowy theme was obtained at Craigville Beach on Cape Cod. By the shores of Nantucket Sound, the grainy sand, plentiful salt water, lots of sun and eroding sandcastles add to the ambience of shadowy memories...

Ruby Tuesday - Bear sightng

Ruby Tuesday 2 returns and as I am not thrilled with the past weeks snowy landscape, the warmth of Summer past I where I'll drift off to today...


Awhile ago, a vacation pose by our son at a putt-putt golf course where he poses with a course hazard, a mighty bear, Cam doesn't seem scared. See sensational seasonal or serious rubies at RT2!

For RT2, Christmas rubies remembered...are Little kids in sleepers and robes marvel at a Radio Flyer, Snow White, seven dwarfs, plastic bowling sets and tool kits. The joy of receiving is matched by the joy of parental/Santa giving...

Christmas is made of memories...merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Tina's Pic Story - Vacations

Tina's Pic Story is back with its simple rule: she provides the theme, we supply the photos. The theme this week is vacations...I am going back a generation and two, and we see our daughter at the water's edge on Cape Cod, and a sibling of mine quite awhile ago at high tide in Brigantine NJ. For kids, work is play, and on these vacations, the children are very hard at work...

Tina's WW - Happy Birthday, Humphrey

One year, a cat named Sir Humphrey celebrated his birthday with cake and cat food. I think that the humans at least had a great time, the celebrant less so...see Tina's WW!

Happy birthday to whom...

Tina’s 29 Days returns for day 2 of leap month February. We look back to the birthday celebration of a family member. Most people like birthday parties in their honor. Cats, however, do not…

It was in 2002, and the household humans celebrated this day in honor of incomparable Sir Humphrey. The party planners were ecstatic, but the honoree was underwhelmed, showing no enthusiasm. The humans violated that old rule: Never wake a sleeping baby cat. After the celebrations, no doubt the scheduled nap resumed...
