Cormac.
Now, this beautiful creature hasn’t been with us quite as long, but he’s every bit as important to us. He was a happy happenstance and I wouldn’t want it any other way. He’s only been with us for 6 years or so, but his love and devotion is as real as his coat is shiny.
Cheers.

‘Tia.
This astonishingly beautiful creature is my Berecyntia. She has been a constant companion of mine for close to a decade, but her eyes and mind are as clear, as bright and as sharp as ever. May they always be.
This photo was taken as we were gathering product preparing for Scarborough Faire.
Cheers.
Our front yard is difficult. Very difficult. Primarily sand, we have to work extremely difficult to get anything other than weeds to grow. These two cherry laurel bushes and their guardian oaks, however, have always seemed to do just fine (if you discount the mistletoe).
Cheers.

One of the joys of my life is watching my wife create wonderful things. Sometimes, that joy is tempered a bit by the sheer amount of time she has to spend doing, what to my mind, are mind-numbingly, arthritis-inducing menial tasks. But, she enjoys it and no one – no one – can deny the beauty of the end result.
This is a close-up of one late night of her at work.
Cheers.

I have a tradition.
Granted, it’s not a terribly old tradition, being only 3 years old this April. But, it’s a valued – and important – tradition to me.
Every Sunday – every Sunday – I have a Bloody Mary. This tradition started by chance, as the best ones often do, with the off-hand comment of a dear friend “hey, so I’ll see you tomorrow at my place for Bloody Mary’s around 11?”
Sure.
The tradition was born, and I’ll never look back.
This year, I’m on the lookout for a decent range of peppers so that I can infuse my own Vodka. I’m also considering a new mix recipe that I stumbled upon. In any case, the tradition continues and the Bloody Mary’s get better and better.
I love you, girls! All of you!

Due to the aforementioned foot distress and overwhelming work-related crap, I’ve done nothing in the way of photo-taking. So, I’ve dipped into my reserves to at least get a post a day.
This is @klobetime and @CapnZombi – I leave it to you to determine which is which – relaxing at a music set at the North Texas Irish Festival on Sunday.
We had a truly enjoyable time, the three of us. On Saturday we were joined by, literally, hundreds of friends off and on throughout the day. Sunday, we just sat back and relaxed with some good music and beer, then followed that with a spate of shopping.
Thanks for joining me @klobetime and @CapnZombi.
Cheers.

This evening was the Perigree moon. I went out to photograph it, but all my shots sucked – except this one.
This is a photo of the shadow of my own personal Goddess, MB. She was standing by me as I braced my camera against a porch post to steady it for the long-range moon shot. I was not able to steady the camera quite enough for the 2 minute exposures necessary, but I was able to steady it enough to capture this lovely shot of my wife and her shadow.
Cheers.

I liked the colours, the angles and the shadowplay.
I have no other reason for taking this photo – other than, I take photos of some of the strangest things.
I suppose, allegorically, it could be a reflection of my life. I sometimes feel like I’m climbing, climbing, climbing without really knowing what, if anything, is at the top of the ladder; or, frankly, why I’m even on that ladder.
Cheers.

It’s been a week since last I wrote here; a damaged foot and an overload of stress at work has me less-than-motivated for the day-to-day must-dos. I’m trying, though.
This photo was taken on a Saturday. The day dawned as normal; I got up and watched my beloved Gunners throw another game down the toilet and crash out of the 3rd of 4 competitions for which they’d been vying.
I decided I needed to swallow that bitter pill with a heavy dose of beer so I bundled up and trundled to No Frills Grill for much-desired frothy adult libation.
When I finally tired of that diversion, I found myself hungry. So, knowing that MB would also be hungry by this point, I stopped at Wingstop on the way home and purchased dinner (and another beer). While there I jumped up on a table and snapped this photo.
As an aside, my wings sucked, but MB seemed to enjoy hers.
Cheers.

I’m always amused by signs that mean absolute nothing.
Like this one.
Not only is there not a red button, there’re no buttons at all. And, certainly nothing red.
Cheers.
