Macros and Textures on a Wet Day
…the New Year has not started out well for long walks
I ventured out into the backyard to see if I could find some interesting textures. It’s quite amazing how green everything is for January. I tried to go for a walk later in the afternoon but it really started to rain very steadily so I turned around and headed back to the house.
I’ve also been trying to rid the house of sweets. Somethings I just can’t bring myself to throw away but luckily many of them are wrapped and I’m less likely to binge on things that I have to unwrap. I love how cellophane reflects light and the candy cane topping has wonderful texture. The foil wrapped candy suggests that the candy inside has texture as well and it doesn’t disappoint.
All Ready for Christmas
…the tree is up and the stockings are hung with care
Most, if not all the presents have been bought and the ones that need to be delivered have arrived at their destinations. The only thing left to do is wrap a few presents and write a few cards.

Thursday Trios – What You Can Find When You Have to Isolate
…they say it’s not ‘if’ you get COVID but ‘when’
Well my ‘when’ happened last week and while I’m testing positive I’m isolating in my house and backyard. I’m happy to report that my symptoms were those of a nasty cold and flu and for the first four days I had little energy. I am so thankful that I’ve had my shots and boosters. It could have been so much worse.
I did have to cancel my trip to see my family on the east coast but I’ve rebooked for the weekend. I have to say that I was perplexed by the new rules for flying because there aren’t any. You don’t need to be tested and masks are no longer required. When I said I ‘had to cancel’ it’s not because the airline needed me to but because I didn’t want to infect my family or others around me.
When I do travel I will be wearing a mask on the plane and in the airport, in taxis and in stores.
If you have any trios, whether natural or staged, why not share them with us. Just copy my link and paste it into your post and I’ll be sure to leave a comment.
