There’s a bazillion buds on this plant…whatever it is!

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Flowers


First of all, a thank you to Cee from Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge for selecting my shadow pictures as some of her faves last week!

And she selected flowers as the subject for her Fun Foto Challenge of this week:

Cee’s Black & White Challenge: Small Subjects


Some submissions in response to “Cee’s Black & White Challenge: Small Subjects”.

While not as artistic or as interpretive as Cee’s, they ARE small…  LOL

Just Some Snapshots 4


Well, it was Bloggus Interruptus once again as my kids were with me this past week.  Now that they are again with their mom, it is eerily quiet.  I don’t know if that is good or bad.

Here’s some more snapshots from around the house; I hope one will brighten your day!

Just Some Snapshots 4


Well, my rug rats are with me this week so it’s Blogging Interruptus.

But I did take some snapshots of the flowering succulents in my good neighbor’s yard.

Ten Beautiful Days


Embarking on a ten day vacation to a land far, far away needs a lot of one’s time to prepare… one reason for my recent absence from WordPress.  Not that anyone would notice, of course.

For now, just some colorful images of nature taken during the journey to Japan I immensely enjoyed… which would not have been possible without the unqualified help from my Hiroshima cousin Masako – after whom this blog is named – and her extended family.  Hopefully, time will permit sharing more of this glorious journey – and enlightening in ways I could never have imagined.

So for now… Japan in autumn.

Just Some Snapshots 2


Just some pointless snapshots from around my front yard… Sequel #2.

(I took these while smoking a 58 ring Maduro, by the way…)

All taken with a Canon 75-300mm…handheld with no image stabilization.  Still, not too bad for a shaky ole fart like me. 🙂
