This post is twofold. Firstly, it is another in the theme that when you walk or ride a bike you witness so much more than when in a car (yes, I know I’ve been harping on this lately but it is important in my daily life), and in the case of myself–or anyone–it offers near-countlessContinue reading “A Few Images Through an Inexpensive Lense”

(just a few of the many) Reasons I Choose to Ride a Bike
The above picture is Pilgrim-St. Luke’s UCC, the church of which I am a member. I love taking pictures of old Buffalo buildings–especially churches–but that’s not what this post is about. It’s about what I was thinking as I pedaled to church this morning. It was a beautiful autumn morning…couldn’t have been any nicer; youContinue reading “(just a few of the many) Reasons I Choose to Ride a Bike”

Something I Saw Today
If you’ve been to this blog before you may be growing tired of me proclaiming the many benefits of bicycling (but then again, maybe not). Anyhow, I’ll again state the obvious. When you ride a bike you see things and are able to interact with the things and people you see that would be impossibleContinue reading “Something I Saw Today”

The Present is Now
Today was one of those days…you know what I’m talking about. Everyone has them once in a while. Crazy stupid busy at work, and I was annoyed and annoying. But this evening–after work and after a brief steam and swim at the health center–I sat under the grapevines in my backyard and pondered. I ateContinue reading “The Present is Now”

After the Rain…
By now regular readers of this blog have probably figured that I enjoy taking photos; I have since I’ve been a teen. I gave it up for a few years–for various reasons–but with the ease of digital cameras today I’d be hard pressed to find out why a person wouldn’t want to take pictures…take aContinue reading “After the Rain…”

Color on a Grey Day (just a few pics)
Crazy busy day at work today. The rain drizzled on-and-off outside for most of it. Grey clouds. And after facing a stove for most of the day I felt like I needed some air…and color. I took a brief walk and snapped a few photos and thought I’d share. Click it for an enlarged view.

How To Simply Live
The title of this post is a question not a statement, and I pose it mostly to myself. It could easily be rearranged to say How to Live Simply and have the same meaning. To live simply and to simply live are one-in-the-same in my opinion…and I’m still trying to figure out how to doContinue reading “How To Simply Live”

>Anyone Can Practice Yoga
>It may come to a surprise to some that I practice Yoga (then again, maybe not)..I don’t do it regularly but sporadically. But when I do I often wonder why I don’t do it every day…it makes me feel good…physically and emotionally (especially when followed by meditation). It is, in fact, yoga and positive thoughtContinue reading “>Anyone Can Practice Yoga”

>That Sweet Sunny Spot
> My pugs teach me things but they probably don’t know it. The sun has shifted with the seasons (even though it doesn’t feel like Spring) and it pours into a different window this time of year. My house is often chilly in the morning so they basked in the sun on the bare floorContinue reading “>That Sweet Sunny Spot”
