‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

December 16, 2025

(Note:  This picture may be enlarged by clicking on it using Control-click or right-click.)

Actually this picture was taken a couple of nights before Christmas, but our living room is ready for a visit from St. Nick.  We have so many ornaments that hold special memories that we have two trees instead of only one.

Betsy has so man fireplace babies that I’m a little concerned that Santa won’t be able to get down the chimney and out of the fireplace, but I’m hopeful he’ll find a way around that problem.

From our house to your’s — Merry Christmas!

Glade Autumn Color

As yet we don’t have much autumn color here in the Glade, but once the leaves start changing the results can be beautiful.  (This picture is from my archives.)

An Evening Sky

Often there is something peaceful and serene about an evening sky.  I got this photo of the sky above our house a few years ago.

Morning on Druid Hills

July 1, 2025

/(Note:  This picture may be enlarged by clicking on it using Control-click or right-click.)

Although neither Betsy nor I play golf, we do live on a golf course.  And we have found the golf course to be perfect for early morning walks (before the golfers hit the course) or for early evening walks (after the golfers have quit for the day).  I got this picture on one of our early morning walks around the back nine/

Clouds

June 17, 2025

(Note:  This picture may be enlarged by clicking on it using Control-click or right-click.)

Often clouds in the sky mean that some nasty weather is on the way.  But sometimes clouds in the sky are brimming with joy and are saying “Look up!  Enjoy this beautiful world that we have!”

Redbuds and Blue Sky

March 4, 2025

(Note:  This picture may be enlarged by clicking on it using Control-click or right-click.)

Now that March has arrived I’m beginning to do some serious thinking about Spring.  I know that Old Man Winter isn’t going to give up without a fight, and we will most likely have at least one more round of bad (cold) weather.  But even so, I’m looking forward to green grass, flowers in bloom and blue skies.  On a March day a few years ago I captured these redbud blossoms against a beautiful blue sky.  What could be more beautiful?

An Evening Sky

September 17, 2024

(Note:  These pictures may be enlarged by clicking on it using Control-click or right-click.)

I sometimes feel as if I don’t spend enough time looking up == specifically looking up at the sky.  There is so much variety and grandeur in the sky above us:  fascinating clouds and vibrant colors.  It’s a shame that all of this is missed because I spend so much time looking at things on the ground.

The picture above was taken on the golf course behind our house on a beautiful September evening.

Bride

August 20, 2024

(Note:  This picture may be enlarged by clicking on it using Control-click or right-click.)

A relatively new rose for us is Bride.  And while she’s not as pretty as My Beautiful Bride, I still thinks she looks pretty good.  We’re always happy to see her in bloom.

Daughter of Star Iris

June 25, 2024

(Note:  This picture may be enlarged by clicking on it using Control-click or right-click.)

The iris in our yard have finished their blooming cycle several weeks ago, but I still remember how wonderful some of them looked.  Daughter of Star iris was new this year, but I think she was beautiful.

Show Offs

April 30, 2024

(Note:  This picture and all others may be enlarged by clicking on it using Control-click or right-click.)

Over the past few days the iris in our yard have been putting on quite a show.  We’ve had such a problem with the deer eating our roses and daylilies that we have been planting iris around the outer edges of our property.  Deer don’t like iris, so they can grow and bloom pretty much in peace.

We have many different varieties, but I have chosen three to feature in this post,

The first is Picasso Moon, a bold yellow that is Betsy’s favorite yellow iris.  I’m not sure how it gets its name, but it sure does stand out.

The second iris is Second Fiddle.  We’ve had this iris for several years, and it is a favorite.  In my opinion it plays second fiddle to no other iris.

Daughter of Stars is a new iris for us this year.  It is very vibrant and stands out in the flower bed.  I’m sure this will become a new favorite.  

That’s it for now, but we have many other beautiful blossoms that I will most likely be sharing in the future.
