Stuck In A Rut

 

 

I don’t know about any of you, my dear readers, but every now and then, I find myself stuck in a rut. Mostly it’s creativity related, but sometimes I look at my surroundings and think, “I need to change this s#!t around.” And by that I don’t mean getting out of the house for a “change of scenery,“ I mean, physically rearrange the furniture kind of change. So, recently, that’s what I did. I completely rearranged my space. And because I got into this mode (it actually took me several days to even figure out a new layout that would actually work), I didn’t really spend much time on my photography, or my writing. My writing has been suffering long before I got into this little “have to change my space” rut, but that’s a whole other headache of a story for never.

 

Anyway, I apologize that I don’t have any story or words of wisdom to share with you folks this week, but here’s a picture from my archives for you to enjoy… So… Enjoy!

The Final Countdown

 

Well, not really, but now you’re humming that tune in your head, aren’t you?  Yeah, you are. [-_^]

 

Anyway, the countdown to the New Year is on.  This Thursday marks the first day of January, the first day of 2015.

 

May your New Year bring you luck, health, happiness, and prosperity in all things!

 

 

 

 

Until next time…

Funky Foam

 

I’ve seen birds, I’ve seen squirrels, I’ve seen deer, and I’ve seen seals and dolphins out at sea. I’ve seen some interesting, awesome, and even odd things while out hiking but recently I stumbled across something I’d never seen before, sitting on the side of a trail.

 

A weird orange foam tower.

 

No joke, look…

 

 

 

Funky Foam Tower

 

 

 

This was sitting beside a trail that runs along a small stretch of rocky beach. Obviously this foam thingy washed in from the sea, but what I want to know is where it came from and what purpose it served before it ended up by the trail I was hiking.

 

Keep an eye out not only for wildlife, but also for odd things like this. You never know when you’ll stumble across something strange out there.

 

Until next time…

Thanks Lousy Laptop Modem

My apologies for the lack of a blog post last Monday, folks.  Having a dial-up internet connection, I’m subject to the whims of not only my phone line, but also my laptop and it’s modem.  Said modem suddenly decided it didn’t want to recognize my phone line anymore so I was without internet access for almost two weeks.

But, I snagged a replacement modem so I should be ok now.  Keep your fingers crossed everyone.  Hopefully now I can get back into the swing of Monday posts.  That is, if I survive my dentist appointment this week.  [>_<]

Wish me luck.

Until next time…

Mosquitoes SUCK!

This past weekend, Saturday in fact, the weather decided to play nice and I was able to hiking for the first time in almost a month.  I was so completely stoked to get out into the fresh air and into the wilderness that I made a rookie mistake.  I forgot to apply bug spray.  I was smart enough to apply sunscreen before I left my house, but the bug spray escaped me.  Thanks to that little brain fart, I ended up getting eaten alive by mosquitoes.  I loathe those things.

So, as you can see, there’s no new photograph this week.  I blame the mosquitoes.  They were out so thick that I couldn’t even stop for a second to take a picture of the trail in front of me without being bitten ten or fifteen times.

I’ll make it up to you, folks, by posting two or three pictures next Monday.  Deal?  Deal.

Until next time…
