day 318 of 365

Bokeh -- it's hard to describe and a little elusive.  I'm musing about it over on Mortal Muses today.  Stop by and share the beautiful blur.

day 300 of 365

I loved these ghostly little flowers in the gardens at the Vanderbilt Mansion.

I'm musing on my love affair with light over on Mortal Muses today.  We're featuring 9 days of inspiration -- and 9 days of amazing giveaways.  Stop by!

Oh, and look!  It's day 300.  Only 65 more days to go before I finish my 365 project.  How time does fly.

End-of-summer-light is beautiful, no?

Bright afternoon light

Caught like a thousand white jewels

On the sharp needles

Love that bokeh light through the trees on a walk at the Murkwood Conservation Area, though I didn't like the thousands of carnivorous mosquitoes that attempted to eat me alive.  Ever inhaled  or snorted a mosquito?  I have now done both, and I wouldn't recommend it.  Just say no!

'Tis better to give than receive...

I liked the lines and light shining through this "wall of donors" at the Goldfarb Library at Brandeis University.

I'm not one of those people who take a lot of pictures of their cats, but Willow just poses so graciously. I liked the shadows and afternoon light here. So the word for yesterday and today, and maybe tomorrow is: CAT.

Like I said, I'm not a nutty cat lady, but I realized the other day that there hasn't really ever been a time in my life that I've lived without a cat or three in my life (once I had 7 -- that was perhaps bordering on nuttiness). We have two at the moment. That's the perfect number.

We've also had bunnies, hamsters, mice, birds, fish, lizards, hermit crabs, and (for two days) a puppy. But cats are my pet of choice.

Are you a nutty cat or dog person? Do tell.

Here's an out-take from our vacation last week. As you can imagine, this gift shop had lots of rocks and gems for sale. And also these little plastic rings that caught the light just right. Pretty!
