Sunday Stills: Sixty #Birthdays
This year, 2019, marks 59 years of my existence. I was born in December, so for most of 2019, I am 59. Being that I was born in 1959 makes this my golden year, I’m told. I have to admit that it has been a golden year, albeit a little tarnished with stress and surgery, …

Secondly, I enjoy the visible weather changes in October, with Autumn finally making a more-than-vague appearance, the cooler days and sometimes cold nights, and the overall feeling that …

Sunday Stills: It’s A #Bug’s Life
This week’s Sunday Stills photo challenge theme is all about a bug’s life. Do bugs bug you? I am tolerant of most bugs except black widows, ants, and cockroaches. In other words, I will go out of my way to save a hapless spider or insect that is trapped in the tub, or the random …

Sunday Stills: Signs of #Autumn
The official start to fall begins with the Autumnal equinox on Monday, September 23 this year. Not much in the way of fall leaves just yet here in Sacramento, Northern California, as we are still experiencing our normal warm temps (upper 80s, low 90s). Luckily, the heat only lasts a couple of hours each day. …

Sunday Stills: Seasonal #Layers
It was two years ago that the now-defunct WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge had “layers” as its theme. It seems like the right time to experiment with some layers for the Sunday Stills Photo Challenge this week. I thought I would approach this week’s Sunday Stills’ theme with a seasonal look at layers. Fall Layers I …

Sunday Stills: The Essence of #Zen
The idea of “Zen” seems to be everywhere I look these days. I have to admit that I googled the definition just to be sure I understood its components. Zen: a state of calm attentiveness in which one’s actions are guided by intuition rather than by conscious effort. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dicti... The essence of Zen is attempting …
