Thru My iPhone Lens This Afternoon

Deep blue sky at the end of a winter day.

I learned how to 'lock' the focus and reframe. Love this feature.

The barberry bushes started losing their leaves overnight.

Another shot with the focus 'locked' on the bark to the right.

This tree is losing all of its bark in big sheets. These photos were taken before dinner on the same walk I take every day with the wonder dog. Eventually I'll probably run out of things to photograph. Won't you be glad? Smile.

This really gave me pause for thought:

Almost Time to Say Goodnight

Nothing makes me sleepier than images of sleeping dogs. Webster has already gone to bed and I'm not far behind. I'm looking forward to watching REVENGE on TV tonight. Goodnight. See you in the morning.

Airplane Inspired Bathroom Fixtures

I love these deco bath fixtures by Lefroy Brooks. I snapped the photo with my iPhone from the February 2008 Architectural Digest.

Natural Bench

I love everything about this photo, especially the bench on which to sit to soak in all this beauty.

Dog Speak Using No Words

I see you left some milk in the bottom of your cereal bowl this morning.

If you're finished, may I have it? Please.

A Fabulous Dining Room

A big trestle table in a beautiful room looking ready for a gathering of hungry guests. At least someone has it all together. I love the ceiling and the columns that define the dining area of a big open space. via

Late Afternoon iPhone Photos

It was a cloudy day today but we didn't have any rain. Webster and I took a walk before dinner. This photo looks to the rear of my property. I mowed yesterday.

Heading home. Doesn't it look nice with a short haircut?

The distinguished Mr. Webster who is really hard to photograph since he doesn't like to stand still. I love his amber eyes.

An ancient black walnut in the front near the road. I fantasize about the little animals who are living inside this hole.

A Norway spruce I grew from a seedling. I had two men here this morning with a chainsaw cleaning up some fallen limbs and trees that were too big for me to deal with. Now I can finish my fall cleanup.

The end. Time to go inside and cook dinner.
