Picture this!



Isn't it funny how a picture can make you remember so many things? I shot the above image on a really hot day and I was in a hurry there was a storm coming in. I find it fascinating that just looking at an image can bring all of that back. I can remember the heat on my back as I leaned in closer to the flower to get a better angle. I remember looking up the street at the dark clouds and wondering when they would be rolling over the house and drenching us (they were that dark and heavy). I remember the heaviness in the air, the mugginess. All of that from looking at one picture.

I just find it fascinating.

In case you don’t know (or haven’t googled a defintion yet) here’s an overview of the meaning from wikipedia : is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the ge...

I neglect my blog for six monthsish and I have more followers! Hello to all you new people, my apologies for not being more interesting. I hope you have enjoyed perusing the archives. I have a new camera and I love it. It's a nice mid-range, user-friendly little guy and best of all... it zooooooooooooooms... It's a Canon SX-30, with a 30x optical zoom. Did I mention it zooms? Here are a couple of my favorite photos so far: This a burrowing owl that lives near my parents house in Nevada. The little family lives in an empty lot across the street and for awhile we were worried that some construction in one of the houses that bordered it had scared them away, but nope, there's the proof. If you have never met a burrowing owl, I recommend it. They are fun to watch; I especially enjoy watching the flying dust when it's time to clean out the den. Or, if you aren't paying attention and happen upon one by accident, the fluffed feathers and hissing are rather spectacu...
