Blame It On Mother

I am often mid-sentence when 

I glance out the window and find

myself disattracted by the light. I

usually grab my camera and 

quickly head for the door.

My husband doesn't

seem to mind my abrupt exit.

Perhaps he doesn't notice that

I'm actually gone and that words 

are no longer being spoken.

I'll blame it on Mother Nature.

She is, after all, the reason shadows

frolic in the yard every evening

and grass shimmers like

diamonds early morn.

On Lovin' Norman

I've fallen in love

with Norman.

You will too.

The second stop motion

3-D film ever made was released Friday.
(Coraline was the first.)

ParaNorman is true 3-D, which means the effect

was created with cameras and not computers.

The Summer Olympics have ended,

but in honor of it—and the opening of this

wonderfully entertaining movie

—here's a short video clip.

ENJOY!

After The Rain

A near perfect rendition of country life, a

gift to those of us who set foot outside last evening.

The rains came and went, leaving behind cool

breezes and a sky filled with purple fluff;

and a few sharks, porpoises, and one

humongous bloated starfish.
