ORCHID BUDS

FOTD – March 27 – Orchid Buds Two out of my three orchids are full of buds. One is about a month ahead of the other, but with a little bit of luck, it will mean the flowering will seem to last longer because they will flower in sequence. They are (finally) on time. Gotten … Continue reading ORCHID BUDS

BLUEBIRDS OF HAPPINESS II

FLASHBACK FRIDAY - A YEAR AGO TODAY (Reblog) I just read an article from the Audubon society this morning that they have had considerable success in getting Bluebirds to breed. They now have a couple of dozen nestlings down the road in their Natick sanctuary. I didn't know we were running short of Bluebirds, but … Continue reading BLUEBIRDS OF HAPPINESS II

Serendipity – The Swans Are Back

So today, I took serendipitous photographs of swans on an unnamed pond on the road whose name I don't know. The road runs between Uxbridge, through Northbridge and Whitinsville, past the old mill and the High School, through Webster. I've never taken it to its end, which may be somewhere in Connecticut. Along the way, there … Continue reading Serendipity – The Swans Are Back

Young Swans

These are from last year. I don't know which of them I've published, but I think just one or two, maybe, and a while ago at that. These are immature mute swans. They will be white at maturity. These are nearly full-grown and can fly, although watching them take off is pretty funny. They are … Continue reading Young Swans

CBWC: Capturing the Photographer Garry takes a lot of pictures of me taking pictures. I take as many of him as I can, but as often as not, he already has his camera pointing my way. Sometimes, we take each other taking pictures of each other. Photo: Garry Armstrong

In addition to new posts from the SEREDIPITY "staff," we feature Marilyn's past blogs from the same month in previous years. … Continue reading DECISIONS, DECISIONS

QUOTES AND PHOTOS IN LIVING BLACK & WHITE

CBWC: Photos and Quotes The other day, we had a conversation in this house about pepper. And sneezing. It never bothered me when I was a kid, but these days, it makes me SNEEZE. And sneeze and then, sneeze some more.

SORRY. IT WENT MISSING

TODAY'S UPDATE! (Reblog) Editor's note: The following was first posted in March of 2022. Considering various voter laws and the drive to pass the SAVE America Act (i.e., to save the Republican majority), the comments are still relevant. I canceled today's appointment because I can't prove I'm me. If I were a MAN who had … Continue reading SORRY. IT WENT MISSING

RUSTED METAL AND MORE

CFFC: Metal From pots and pans to giant metal structures in an endlessly growing city, metal is everywhere. Old and new, shiny and raw, it's wherever you look and in many places you never thought to look.

SHARING MY WORLD WHEN IT’S ALMOST SPRING

SHARE YOUR WORLD 3-21-2022 I got a message from the Mass Audubon group pointing out signs of spring. It isn't actually spring here yet. Our real spring starts on the 27th of March because we are in that zone. But still, there are signs and portents. Crocuses We have not one, but two clumps of crocuses … Continue reading SHARING MY WORLD WHEN IT’S ALMOST SPRING
