I am not sure how I can finish a book and be certain it's not really my kind of book in some ways, yet be so blown away and impacted by it that at the same time it totally is--and I want to tell everyone

An excerpt My narrative 84-line poem "The Bog Witch's Brew" is now available from NewMyths.com. I am really proud of this poem and so happy to see it out in the world at last. While I believe

I actually ended up reading Death Comes to Dartmoor twice, because my health got in the way when I initially read it with an intent to review so I had to reread it now that I am actually reviewing it.

Women in Horror Month and the awesome sale for the month from Apex Book Company gave me the perfect opportunity to obtain Cry Your Way Home< by Damien Angelica Walters. I've been drooling over the

Sorry about missing yesterday. Although we had a relatively quiet Christmas day, I spent too much time on my feet cleaning, setting the table, and helping with food prep and cleanup plus too much time

I'm in Denmark, so our primary Christmas celebration is this evening. I don't have much time--I'm a bit in decapitated chicken mode trying to finish up what I need to do and set the table and stuff. We

I feel like today is a moss day. Not a lot of time because of all the holiday prep remaining to make a nice holiday for my mother-in-law. I need to go out shortly and go collect some moss and the

Today's shot shows some lichen variations I haven't seen before. Once again I am wondering if this relates to spore creation. I know the depth of field is a bit too shallow or the focus a bit off, but

Not much time today--MiL due shortly to bake Christmas cookies and I spent the morning cleaning the kitchen and crawling around the floor cutting linoleum edges to try to get rid of a bulge she might trip

We finally had a day with a bit of sun yesterday--first one in quite a while and today is back to overcast--so I went for a walk with the camera especially to make sure I'd have an expanded variety of

A lichen (or moss) a day keeps depression at bay... Sorry to have missed some days. Things are rather hectic and emotional between unwell dog and the impending holidays. And my own health continues to

This is a companion to yesterday's image: I cropped this one so you can see the neat texture of the lichen better with its tendrils I think may relate to spore growth, but I can't find anything to back

A lichen a day keeps depression at bay... I am definitely going to need to find my fingerless gloves--they're hiding somewhere in the house--if I'm to keep taking pictures all winter. I went out briefly

A lichen a day keeps depression at bay... Today's shot: I chose this shot because I like the combination of multiple lichen types with a budding branch. If I recall correctly, this is a lilac bush. I took

I am especially pleased with this one. I took it yesterday while out gathering moss and lichen for my mother-in-law's Christmas decoration. It was raining lightly and extremely cloudy, so I was handholding

I chose a moss shot for today just because I like it and I felt like something slightly different. The weather has been very wet and grey so between that and feeling rotten, I've not gotten out for new

Sorry about missing a day again yesterday. I wanted to do this because some people enjoyed my shots and I thought it gave me an impetus to share them and also to help myself mentally feel like I am vaguely

A lichen a day keeps the depression at bay... Sometimes over here it seems like the trees have more lichen than branches... I think the regularly damp weather here is especially well-suited to lichen,

I want a black and white shot to go with the dark and dreary day today. It’s raining as well as overcast. Today’s picture: I find it interesting that the protruberances are more flat here than cupped.

A lichen (or moss) a day keeps depression at bay... Okay, so my optimism really isn't working today. Sharing a moss for those who need something soft and cuddly. I am struggling with a dog who is not well
