Weekly Photo Challenge: Blur

The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play.
–Arnold Toynbee

I have quite a few accidental blurry images that I could share for this week’s challenge. But for fun (or is it work?) I am sharing some springtime zoom blurs. And yes, they are definitely fun. 🙂 Check out more of this week’s blurry interpretations here!

The Week at Deep-Dish Life – Is It Spring Yet?

I know Punxsutawney Phil predicted 6 more weeks of Winter but this week felt like Spring was right around the corner here. We had a cold snap in the middle of the week, but wow, this weekend was too beautiful to believe. The best I can do is share some pics!

The Japonica’s already blooming!

The Week at Deep-Dish Life – Week 2

With apologies to Garrison Keillor and A Prairie Home Companion, my week was quiet. Thankfully. My son started the spring semester at the local university and so the week was mostly about getting back to normal after the holidays. Most of the action this week happened at the bird feeder…

Weekly Photo Challenge: New

Birdfeeder full of seed (check)

Winter (check)

Snow (check, and 13 degrees F to boot)

Those three items can only mean one thing: New season of winter bird watching!

Weekly Photo Challenge – Minimalist

Here are my interpretations for the week’s Photo Challenge theme: Minimalist. Hope you enjoy these two Autumn foliage, minimalist images!

For me the theme is also a welcome reminder that often “less is more.”

“Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”

— Lao Tzu
