Aspen Grove Through My Car Window

Roll Down the Window and Click
Aspen Grove, Weed California
May 14, 2014

I suppose it's the lazy American way.
Glance to your right while driving  down 
a country road ....and shazaam..hit the
brakes, push the button to roll down
the window and "click" here it is!
Ta dah. 
I did put the car in "park".
I think I need to buy film and get out the Pentax.

It's a Full Moon Tonight! May 14, 2104

Almost full moon 
May 13, 2014

Tonight we will enjoy a full moon.
The full moon in May is called the Full Flower Moon.
Probably because we have so many flowers
blooming in the spring.
Other names include the Full Corn Planting Moon
or the Milk Moon which makes sense to me 
since this is when baby cows and goats are born..
Have a great evening! 
You can go Loony to see more full moon names!

It's Awww Monday! May 12, 2014

Little Chipmunk going in for sunflower seeds
dropped by the birds at the bird feeder.

I know that chipmunks are rodents, 
but I still think they are pretty darn cute!
So does Lucy....but then she probably
would like to chase them!
Thanks to Sandee for Awww Mondays!

Magpie Tales #219

Image by Martin Stranka


The light holds me up
Caresses me
Supports me
Cares for me
Loves me
Forever
The light is my mother
And it still keeps me warm.....
