Red Handed

Posted by dale on Dec 13, 2009 in willow | 0 comments

Willow came downstairs to ‘help’ me do some home improvement work. She had a red marker with her. She handed it to me “in case I needed” it. I noticed her hands were covered in red marker and I asked if she had drawn all over herself. Of course she denied any such activity. I do believe I caught her Red Handed!

Woohoo! The Camera Is Back

For the past 3 or 4 weeks I have been without my canon camera cause I mysteriously lost my charger. Earlier in the week a new one came in the mail so this weekend I was good to go. I spent a couple of hours out in the backyard with Willow playing on the trampoline and throwing balls for the dogs with my trusty canon in hand.

Those Nebulous Days of Summer

My two daughters lounge on the grass contemplating the magic of space.

From APOD: Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble — maybe Macbeth should have consulted the Witch Head Nebula. This suggestively shaped reflection nebula is associated with the bright star Rigel in the constellation Orion. More formally known as IC 2118, the Witch Head Nebula glows primarily by light reflected from bright star Rigel, located just off the upper right edge of the full image. Fine dust in the nebula reflects the light. The blue color is caused not only by Rigel’s blue color but because the dust grains reflect blue light more efficiently than red. The same physical process causes Earth’s daytime sky to appear blue, although the scatterers in Earth’s atmosphere are molecules of nitrogen and oxygen. The nebula lies about 1000 light-years away

The Artist and Her Subject

The Artist

and her Subject

Sunday afternoon, I caught myself falling asleep on the couch. This was very unusual in our house because one of the kiddos is typically demanding my attention at all times. I woke with a start and felt something dreadfully wrong. There were no children running around the couch, no screaming coming from down the hall and no complaints to be heard. I jumped from the couch and went on the hunt for the girls. I found them playing together. Juniper was the beauty ‘artist’ and Willow was her subject. Willow was so proud of her sister’s handiwork, she did not want to wash it off in the bathtub.

“That pleasure which is at once the most pure, the most elevating and the most intense, is derived, I maintain, from the contemplation of the beautiful.” Edgar Allen Poe
