PhotoTime Tuesday theme: Pets
And I'll always be that barefoot stepping on rusty nails riding rickety old bicycles up the lane playing in the ditch farm girl. That teenager sneaking smokes out with the sheep. I'll always be the confused young adult in transition between other homes. Forever a stressed and scattered grown-up who needs to touch the earth, ruining her hands and fingernails to be grounded with the roots of tomato, squash, and sunflower, covering skin with splinters from old lichen incrusted fences, thistle pricks and nettle stings, crawling between plants to upturn snails and insects for happy quacking ducklings and creeping close to softly pet the spirit bunny.
Goodbye 4090, I'll miss you... but I'll always be there in my heart and mind.
PhotoTime Tuesday theme for July 19, 2004: Shadows
PhotoTime Tuesday theme: wrong
Or could it be wrong that I'm eating pizza for breakfast, in the living room, at noon, in my men's pajama pants and leopard slippers... or that I took a few moments out of eating pizza to take this photo!
Now, living so far from anything just wouldn't be possible for me if it wasn't for my computer and the internet. This divine box brought me black, green, and herbal tea, free-trade coffee, colloidal silver, nori, sushi rice, vitamins, cranberry concentrate, natural feminine napkins, cashew butter, and organic peanut butter. Other than finding ecological ways to deal with the packaging, shipping costs are the biggest problem with online shopping. You have to have enough stuff you want to buy to get it shipped for free.
PhotoTime Tuesday theme: Cargo
Look, both hands ;)
I actually used the timed shot feature and stuck my cheap little tripod in a pile of snow. (Yes, there is still snow here!)
I just tried to get a shot of these in the moonlight but there wasn't enough light so I switched on the bright-as-day spotlight.

The full moon earlier this month was so bright, shining right on me through the bay window as I tried to work late on my computer. These five photos are all taken through the window while sitting at my desk.

The Whitefish Point lighthouse was first lit in 1849. It's famous for the Edmund Fitzgerald ship wreck. About ten miles from where I live, I can see it's light at night if I go out in the back yard.
