Usually it is the photo within the photo that intrigues me. The dogs almost didn't get their bowls of water this morning, the sun (Monica's Gift) distracted me from the task at hand. Every morning, every season, no matter what the weather is doing there is always the sun to greet us on the de

How on earth did I miss this? I’m in real estate for goodness sake! I love the environment and want to protect it at all costs. I hate the idea of ripping out mountains or tearing down forests for the sake of brand new Wal-marts, shopping malls or cookie cutter subdivisions. I also like movies,

It's easy enough to tell that autumn is coming to the mountains of Western North Carolina very soon. The shops all have their summer clothing on markdown and the evenings have been in the 50s. During my walk I can tell that the underbrush is getting a little thinner and there are starting to b

When I woke up this morning I knew which photo was going to be posted today...until I got back from my walk and went out onto the deck to fill the water bowls for the dogs. Spiders exhibit true mastery of weaving and I'm fascinated by the intricacy of their efforts.
