PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Framing Up a New Year with a New View?

Rounding the bend, in fields of gold.

Fire Island National Seashore

Delightful lighthouses - with absolutely necessary - necessities.  
I want that window.
 Close as a selfie as you are going to get.

 No one, except me and my friend, as far as the eye can see.

 Focusing in on the tiniest details, right underfoot.

Natural Ornamentation

Orient Beach State Park April 2013 
Shell Trees 

When Christine and I were wandering down the beach at Orient State Park,  we discovered a grove of trees festooned with a variety of conch shells. It was so lovely and unexpected. Why do we spend so much on artificial decorations when the natural way is all that is needed?

She/We Found Sea Shells at the Seashore


Anyone know how to rig up an LED nightlight? Because this last one on the right there -- is PERFECT for one, what with the pin holes.

Doesn't this look like a fairy door for the water elementals?
