Who Is This Child?

me27

I vaguely remember her.  And her dog Puddles.  I didn't remember the naked doll until I saw it again.  But those saddle shoes?  I'd remember them anywhere.  They're the ones she was wearing when she stepped on a rusty safety pin.  When they had to pull the safety… Read full post »

Photo Geo Quiz Redux

Back in the Beta Days, not to be confused with The Good Old Days, I would occasionally put up a photograph and ask for users to identify the location.  Today, with a global readership, it would be impossible for me keep many guessing.

 But in honor of Independence Day, I'm presently… Read full post »

I haven't been around much lately.  But I do keep an eye on what's going on. 

 I miss some of the folks who have wandered off, Madame Bitch a/k/a  LeCastor being one.  The last I heard she was in Europe working for a US law firm.  I'll bet she's cracked… Read full post »

Back in Part 3 of my series on the Fort Worth museum district, I had a photo of a eerily beautiful sculpture of a horse. I said that I couldn’t locate any information about the sculpture, either near its physical location or on the website of the Modern Art Museum… Read full post »

Dear Read,

I’m sorry I left you standing in the middle of the street back in January.  It seems life got in the way of our tour.  Let’s pick up where we were.

This is actually the part of our tour where I have the least knowledge.  Just east of the… Read full post »


We started on the South Side of Camp Bowie Boulevard the other day,  so now we’ve crossed the street and are approaching the Kimbell Art Museum.  Perhaps an entire post will be devoted to the actual structure that holds most of the Museum’s treasures, but on this day, I’m

On my way to see two exhibits at the Amon Carter Museum, I walked around to see the recently opened addition to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, as well as the Cowgirl Museum, the Kimbell Art Museum and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.

I looked back and really can't believe that I didn't post photos from my trip to California in early June.  My only excuse is that I've been really busy.

I'm fortunate that my daughter lives in the Bay Area and I have an excuse to visit one of the most beautiful… Read full post »

When we bought our house in March 1999, one of the primary reasons we chose it over others we had seen was that we didn't need to "do" anything to it.  No screamingly offensive decorating, most things worked, etc.

It didn't, however, take long until the gold, brown, and gray… Read full post »

Bread on the Water

Tonight I got to the semi-monthly meeting of the camera club a little later than I usually do, but I found a seat in the medical school classroom in the area I generally sit.  Some of the people I've gotten to know in the brief time I've been a member and… Read full post »

Self-Imposed Deadlines

Memorial Day 2008, my husband, his adult daughter and I went to California to spend some time with family.  We had a wonderful visit, which culminated in a good, old-fashioned Italian dinner prepared by the matriarch of the family, the oldest sister.

Time in a Bottle

I've heard of time in a bottle and even a ship in a bottle, but I have never seen anything like this:

A tiny fern is growing inside this bottle.  The bottle is part of an edging to part of my garden.  It's an idea I borrowed… Read full post »

My Mother, Myself

There are many posts swirling in my head about my mother.  I don't know if they will ever make it to the screen.  They are similar my relationship with my mother -- complicated.  But this one is simple.  Today is the third anniversary of my mother's death.  These photos are m… Read full post »

I'm very fortunate that my daughter lives in one of the most beautiful cities of the world -- San Francisco.  When I visit her, we spend a lot of time enjoying not only the touristy sites, but also some out of the way places she has found and wants me to… Read full post »

Black Ice or Beginner's Luck @ Camera Club

Generally when I post here, it is focused on a photo.  I don't need to tell any of you that I am not a writer.  I was the kid in your high school history class who preferred the multiple choice questions over the essay questions who you could never figure out. … Read full post »

Texas Weather

There have been a lot of posts in the past month about the weather.  Icy weather in New England, snowy weather in the Northwest, non-snowy weather in Arizona.

To all of you people who don't like your weather, I just have this to say:  Come to Texas.  If you don't like… Read full post »

 

                On Sunday night I completed my second Breast Cancer 3 Day event of this year.  This year I didn’t walk the 60 miles in 3 days as I have done in the past, but instead was part of the all-volunt… Read full post »

Cross Country Fall 1977

I'm still at it -- scanning in "vintage" slides and memories along with them.  In the carousel I was working on yesterday, I found some (but not all -- now where are the rest?) photos of a six week trip my children's father/my ex and I took with our one year… Read full post »

How I spent my summer vacation -- Part 3

           So I may have mentioned in Part 1 and Part 2 that I am from the prairie.  I don’t drive well in mountains.  I tend to go slowly going down, which really pisses people off.  All that said, the next 3 days of my west coasRead full post »

How I spent my summer vacation -- Part 2

           On Saturday evening, before our delicious dinner, Lisa had searched for a waterfall she remembered going to in Marin County.  She didn’t find the one she was looking for, but did find another.  She doesn’t have a printRead full post »

How I spent my summer vacation -- Part 1

Robert Cray and my new best friend

Ellen is my concert going friend.  My husband's music taste and mine just don't match (Kenny G vs. Eric Clapton).  In the summer, in an email from one of the concert producers, I saw that Robert Cray was going to be at House of Blues in Dallas on Spetember 20th.  Without… Read full post »

0 - 60 in Three Days

Since 2001, I have been involved with the Breast Cancer 3-Day. What started as more or less a whim has become very personal and very important in my daily life. After training over 500 miles each year and walking 60 miles in 3 Days with thousands of othersRead full post »
