I have a real fondness for old mill buildings, and it looks as if I will spend some time this summer working in this one.

I adore peonies. My neighbor has some, and I wait every year until they bloom. Then I park outside their house and shoot picture after picture.

Cats have many sides to their personalities. A lot of cat pictures that I take are cute. This time I tried to capture a different side of my pet Lucky. I think he looks very distinguished here.

This was my first home-page image, but now that I've removed it from there, I'm adding it to the blog proper.

Apparently this type of euonymous is now considered an invasive pest. I can see why. This shrub was bought decades ago, when people still viewed them as ornamentals. And they are ornamental--their leaves form a lovely pattern, and in the fall they develop bright orange berries.
