Hello Hello Hivians It's time to dive into this week's Qurator Photo Quest, and the prompt is a cracker ~ Grain— capturing rough texture, gritty mood, or raw organic detail. When you talk about

My body was telling me to take a break from the backbreaking work in the garden. I have to do something other than sit on my laurels, so I prepped breakfast meals for the freezer. My hubby loves blueberry

All that you need to do is to step outside and to watch a show in the sky. A strong wind drove the clouds around, and I decided to use a treetop across the road as a marker. That is the tree that you see

Rewarded... Zeroed... Un-zeroed or re-rewarded, depending on how ya wanna look at it. Well this is not the post I was gonna write today. Things change fast these days, right? This was going to be a defiance

Sometimes there are just too many thoughts taking up rent-free space inside my head!

I’ll admit it, I’m a sucker for a good fringe-theory or conspiracy. As a Gen-X’r I was raised on old black and white reruns of The Twilight Zone from the 50’s and early 60’s, late night Alfred Hitchcock

A relaxing Sunday read about one of nature's wonders. You will see the Cape Sugarbird and his wife (Promerops cafer), and then a female Southern Double-collared Sunbird (Cinnyris chalybeus), and finally
