Part of the fun of traveling is relaxing in a new room. And taking pictures, right? Everyone does that?
Continue reading “D is for (It’s the Little) Details”F is for February Prompt
Yes, I know my prompt should be something about love and hearts and such. But, you know me and my prompts rarely fit what I “should” be doing.
Continue reading “F is for February Prompt”S is for Saturation
One more picture from the set that we’ve posted the last few weeks… I decided to take the monochrome into a tint and really love the pops of color.

“We having people over?” he asked as he walked into the kitchen.
Continue reading “K is for Kale”M is for Map Reading
Yes, I am old enough to remember having to navigate by either atlas or state map when we were doing road trips. In fact, I still prefer “seeing” where I need to go rather than being directed that way by GPS.

She heard him walking in the hayloft of the barn. He was looking for the perfect photograph angle for his new campaign and they had been scouting out locations for three hours.

You’d think that having grown up in land-locked states my entire life that I wouldn’t really love seafood.

We finally scored a great table on the ship – right on the railing, all by ourselves, just taking time to relax and enjoy our dinner. It was a long day on the water, and the sunset is just the perfect end to the day.
We’ve been enjoying a glass or two of wine this evening, waiting for our table, and then sitting here, we have that perfect blend of attentive, but not around, service. It’s really great.

X marks the spot, right?

I finally gave in. I’ve had enough. I bought one of those silly Mute buttons you see for online calls – where you push the button, you’re muted, no matter what software you have, it figures it out and even lights up to say “hey, nobody can hear you…” I’ve had my fill of online calls and video calls.
Continue reading “It’s Not Like It’s a Video Call…”The Strangest, Sexiest Idiosyncracies – Singing Along
Sometimes, it’s all about the smallest things.
Those things that say when someone really has their guard down, is totally in the moment and completely… relaxed. Well, I don’t know about totally relaxed, but she does have a tell.
Continue reading “The Strangest, Sexiest Idiosyncracies – Singing Along”S is for Snowy
We are in Portland right now. It’s almost always rainy, but this time it’s been drier than usual. Still definitely chillier than Tucson, but the weather has been gorgeous.
Continue reading “S is for Snowy”Choosing My/Our 2022
I’ve been reading along with different people’s thoughts and ideas for 2022. Not necessarily resolutions, but just sort of setting the stage for how to approach the new year. I’m not sure why people do this at the end of the year (why not July 1?) or whatever, but here I am, doing the same, and feeling like it’s time for a different approach, right along with so many others.
Continue reading “Choosing My/Our 2022”F is for Focus
One of Snake’s tricks is to change up the focal length on most shots so we have choices. I loved the way the focus is really quite out of focus in this particular one.
Continue reading “F is for Focus”S is for Sweet, or is it Sour?
She was still sleeping while he snuck out to the store to get some fruit, some orange juice and a cheap bottle of champagne. They’d been up late and he figured that he had time to make pancakes and mimosas before she woke up.
Continue reading “S is for Sweet, or is it Sour?”It Finally Happened… I Lost It
We have strict rules about O’s for me. Permission first. I guess I should say, a strict rule. That’s it, that’s the rule.
For 5 years in this D/sFLR, I’ve actually done really well and haven’t screwed up yet. Yes, she’s been known to force the issue when she feels like it and override my not letting things get too far, taking it from me, as it were. But just flat out getting it wrong? I’ve always been pretty proud about not crossing the proverbial line in the sand.
Continue reading “It Finally Happened… I Lost It”S is for Snowball Fight
She was standing in the snow and listening to the silence. Mitch had gone back to the car for his hat and gloves before they went for a walk.
Continue reading “S is for Snowball Fight”G is for Going Forward
The past two years have been a rude awakening for everyone that I know. We all talk about getting back to normal, but I don’t know what that would even look like at this point.
Continue reading “G is for Going Forward”My Mug That is a Pot
Trying to come up with my favorite mug is like choosing a favorite child. I don’t buy sets of mugs. Each one is unique and has been chosen or given to me because of the meaning.
Continue reading “My Mug That is a Pot”W is for Watch
Well, I didn’t really have any photos about time to share, but this one does have a watch…does that count?
Continue reading “W is for Watch”M is for Meditation
It was the third day she had been doing yoga. She wasn’t really into the spiritual side, but she thought it was a good way to start the new year. Who couldn’t use a little peace?
Continue reading “M is for Meditation”L is for Looking Back
In a lot of ways, 2021 was pretty awful. Everyone that I know lost someone to Covid. Life as we’ve always known it seems to have been permanently changed.
Continue reading “L is for Looking Back”B is for Bullet Journal
She was sitting at the bar by the window in the coffee shop. She was writing in a notebook and seemed oblivious to the morning rush hour around her.
Continue reading “B is for Bullet Journal”F is for Flame
The holiday celebrations are over and the decorations are put away for another year. We didn’t decorate much because we traveled, but it’s still nice to know it’s put away.
Continue reading “F is for Flame”J is for January Prompt
And onward to 2022. I’m not going to wish that it’s better than the last. I’m afraid of tempting the Fates. Lol.
