Having too much fun

I’ve been in the Florida keys on Spring Break, and my blog has been neglected as a result. Life is too enjoyable to take time away for blogging. What does this say about the hundreds of things I’ve posted on my blog through the years? I’m not sure, exactly. Maybe I need to find anotherContinue reading “Having too much fun”

Sunrises are nice, too

One of the recurring themes of this blog has been the beauty of a sunset. I could find several posts where sunsets were described, and possibly a picture was added for emphasis.

Dreaming about baseball, as always

I love this cloud pattern. There’s not much else to say.

Since I didn’t capture this morning’s sunrise like I wanted to, I thought of this as a second chance, The rounded clouds and the straight lines of the tower provide an interesting contrast, and the red light hits the blue clouds to create a splashContinue reading “Evening sky”

Rockin’ the sunset

It’s been three weeks since my vacation on Cape Cod ended. I had a great time, and was inspired to do a lot of writing in the time I was there. Before now, I haven’t tried to write about some of the things I wanted to say when I was there, because I either didn’tContinue reading “Rockin’ the sunset”
