    OK, so… While I would much prefer reading everyone else’s take on No Theme Thursday, I decided to take a stab at narrating one of these pics. I usually stick to poetry, so I am outside my wheelhouse here. Punctuation, structure, etc. will not be proper or pretty. You’ve been warned. Her Name Is What,…

    TGIF, everyone! Hope the week was a good one and your weekend upcoming is even better. Today, we’ll take a trip back to the apothecary, pay a visit to the oracle, the priestess, and perhaps we’ll even encounter a gypsy caravan in our travels. There might be a little something for you romance fans out…

    So, we’re nearing the end of the road on this course I’ve been taking. Two weeks left, and then that’s all she wrote. I have started the practice exam for the final. It’s 16 sections and 86 labs. I’m almost halfway through. After that, I will start the final, which is also 16 sections and…

    Good day to all! Here were are at the midpoint of the week, where we can say it’s all downhill from here. Today we shall merely wander. Through the mountains, through the woods, or wherever our imaginations take us. Perhaps we’ll even set a spell and rest in our travels. Stay awesome and have a…

    Wait. What?? Good morning, all! Hope everyone’s week is off to a fine start. Taking a bit of an offbeat, silly turn to start the week off. During a conversation with Mahalakshmi from Writing To Liberate about meditation, the subject turned to mosquitos of all things. 😄 During said conversation, she made a comment about…

    Once again this week I am partaking in Susan T. Braithwaite’s Spies, Lies, and Digital Skies Challenge. This week’s theme is: High-speed chase through a bustling city. This one pissed me off a lot. 😄 I can’t even count the number of attempts I took at this one. I tried every freaking scenario imaginable and…

    Good morning and a happy Sunday to all! As I type this, the freezing rain outside has turned to snow, and it’s coming down fairly steadily. There’s already a soft blanket of the white stuff covering the ground. The market will be quiet, the roads will be bare and the sounds of the outdoors will…

    This week’s prompt for the Spies, Lies, and Digital Skies challenge is: A romantic rendezvous on a rooftop. I went through quite a few iterations of this trying to get just the right amount of romance and spice I was looking for. Since I tend to prefer darker themes, nighttime was a given for me.…

    Good day, friends and fellow bloggers! I started this last week and think I will keep going with it. At least for now. 😄 No Theme Thursday is exactly what it sounds like. I will post some images with no specific theme (i.e. sci-fi, fantasy, etc.). I’ll just post what I hope is fun and…

    Good evening/morning all. Hope everyone is well! Today, I thought I’d share some of my takes on the mythical Black Knight. I’ve always been a fan of Medieval/fantasy themes, King Arthur, etc., so these were fun to mess about with. Hope you enjoy! And since I love my mashups, here’s my futuristic take:

    While I don’t intend to completely do away with the image-only posts, lately I feel compelled to add at least a few words when I post them. We often hear the phrase “peaks and valleys” when talking about the game of life, and it is a fairly accurate descriptor. There’s no greater feeling than reaching…
