Swan Song

Returning from my 5th appointment to the oral surgeon in less than a month, I chose to turn left instead of right at the crossroads. Sometimes it's the tiniest choices that make the biggest difference in my attitude.

Joining up with some much more talented photographers over at A Rural Journal's Sunday Best, Camera Critters, and World Bird Wednesday.

Phallic or Simply Twisted?

I'm going to let you be the judge on this one.

The original . . .

cropped . . .

rotated . . .

and nothing but bud.

I swear this morning glory didn't look at all phallic in August.

A sight for sore eyes

Not my best photographs in any category except one: things that bring me solace in midwinter.

Because I'm feeling like hopping around this week, I'm linking up to these phantasmagoric sites: Sunday Best, Friday My Town Shoot Out, Camera Critters, and Saturday Sareenity.

This is not one robin hopping hither and yon. They come flocking out of hiding and each is uniquely beautiful. A keen eyes will notice there is one robin common to the last three shots.
