Hello again

Do you miss me when I’m away this long? I wonder sometimes but I think a lot of us are busy in the summertime and my poor blog here seems to have gone by the wayside.

But I’m still here. Still working every day. And I’m still taking photos to share with you.

Here are several ~

 

Sunday, early morning light.

 

Miss Blackie came out to the garden with me while I shot some photos.

 

The garden entrance.

This is my husband’s garden and I don’t often venture in. It’s way too crowded for me but we’re enjoying zucchini, tomatoes, and cucumbers. The peas were finished a month ago, and the lettuce has been finished for even longer than that. Everything has been delicious this year.

 

I posted this to Instagram on Sunday but the pictures I take with the big camera are so much better. I do know that some people use their big camera to post on Instagram but I’m more of a purist when it comes to that. To me, Instagram means “using your camera phone” so that’s what I do. Sometimes the photos I see there simply blow me away, but then I realize that people are using their big DSLR, so of course they’re going to be gorgeous.

 

So I wouldn’t be posting say . . . this . . . to Instagram.

Because I took it with the DSLR and the macro lens.

 

Or this.

For the same reason.

 

Or this sweet little morning glory.

So my question to you – to those of you who use Instagram – are you strictly using your phone pictures? Or what? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Today is someone’s birthday.

 

Yes!

George is five years old today and he’d like to thank all of you who left birthday wishes this morning on his Facebook Page.

I have off from work tomorrow and am heading to the Jersey Shore (of all places). We are visiting our good friends who are up with their family from MS and staying in a cool Victorian house owned by an old high school friend.

And then Friday after work, I’m heading to the Big City for dinner with friends and a Farewell to one of them who will be moving to TN soon.

I’ll be sure to take pictures ~

Uh-oh. I’m late for birthday dinner. My husband is cooking! I’m hoping there will be cake and ice cream, too. Ha!
