• Recent Shots

  I'm participating in a month-long challenge to shoot & post 7 photos a week. I won't post all of them on my blog, and only the first photo was actually taken for the challenge (all the plant/nature photos were taken before the month-long challenge started), but I will try to get some of them up here.  At any rate, the challenge has inspired me to get out and shoot a bunch of different photos.  I hope you enjoy some of them.

  Note:  I'm sorry the right sides are cut off, on many (non-widescreen) monitors -- I'd resize them, but they've already been resized once & the Xanga resizing option really garbles the images when I try it.

  First up is a shot of a pen my uncle made, using the woodworking tools from my late grandfather's home-workshop.  I love this pen, but I avoid carrying it because I don't want to damage it or lose it.  A better shot of the whole pen follows.

  ** Patty, if you see this, give Rick my thanks (I don't think I ever properly thanked him); I've been using this pen from time to time; I believe this is the one he gave my dad, but we switched & Dad has the one that was originally meant for me **

  

   

  OK, now for the almost-Spring shots from the local arboretum.

   

  Some life starting to show...

  

   

  This is a Lenten Rose -- I presume it is so called because it is already blooming during Lent:
