The title of this post probably makes me sound paranoid, but there really are people picking through my garbage every Monday night. Honest. I can’t stand it! It’s worse on recycling days which is every two weeks. I’ll be outside with the dog and I’ll see people going through one recycling bin after another looking [...]

Wordless Wednesday This rose is called Compte de Chambord. It has a long history and I believe it was one of the rose species that was commonly used to make rose perfume due to it’s lovely rose scent. I like the effect I managed to get in this shot. There are two roses in the photo, but [...]
