Molly and Hugh revisited || Plant update

Every morning I place him gently onto the window sill for a little sunbathing.

And silently pray I don’t drop him and watch his short life flash before my eyes as he plummets to the ground two floors below.

I’ve had just about all the plant passing I can take lately.

Molly, dear Molly, is gone.

She did so well through my time away back in December. Thrived even. Then, within weeks, her little fronds started drooping.

A tiny little lens || Cell phone photography

Sometimes it just isn’t possible to bring the big boys to the game.

I have a wonderful DSLR camera and a modest (that’s realtor language for small; I’m by no means rich!) contingent of lens. They enable me to do all varieties of photography, in different settings, for different purposes. I wouldn’t give up these tools for anything.

However, even though I’ve got a heart full of love for this company of photographic equipment, there are times when I can’t bring ’em all along on my adventures (sorry fellas). It’s at such times that I’m so grateful for cell phone cameras.
