Oh my word what a busy weekend!
I can’t believe I’m just now getting to my P365 post.
Sunday,
December 4th
On Sunday we went to the Zen
Mass at our old church in Cincinnati. It’s a contemplative Eucharist offered on
Sunday nights. In Advent each year the Zen Mass is dedicated to the memory of
the person who basically started it – he died about 6 years ago and we have this
service in his honor. Dr. M played the dulcimer for the service. Of course we
forgot our camera, so I took this picture after we got home.
Monday,
December 5th
Dr. M took some picture of the
flooding in the area – we had a LOT of rain in the first part of the week.
Tuesday,
December 6th
Dr. M saw a coyote!
A flock of seagulls in one of
the flooded areas. In the middle of Ohio. What will they think of next?
Wednesday,
December 7th
We got a little bit of snow on
Wednesday. If you’d like to see what it looked like this time last year, go here.
Goats!
I love this picture – I know it’s
in the other post I just sent you to, but I wanted to share it again.
The Tax
Time Pig is ready for Christmas.
Sheep on top of a hay roll.
Makes me laugh every time.

State of the Bug. To find out what it’s all about, go here.
Dr. M took a lot of great pictures today (and the rest of
the week). You should check out his post here.
I decided to put a couple of the ones for today on my blog too:

The last osage orange. Looks kind
of surreal, doesn’t it?
Snow again!
Really, if you’re afraid of
birds you should avoid these pictures!

What a crazy day! I had a 6 hour training at church, and Dr.
M had graduation. He drove by to check out Mr. Buffalo on his way home.
Then that evening we drove to Delaware, Ohio to see the
Columbus City Ballet School’s presentation of the Children’s Nutcracker. I have
a friend whose niece was in the production, & since Dr. M & I had never
seen it we decided to go. On the way there we saw this ginormous orange orb in the distance. I thought it was the sunset
reflecting on a water tower. Dr. M was laughing at me when I finally figured it
out. Here’s my, um, not quite successful attempt to capture the phenomenon.
And here’s Dr. M’s much better attempt. By the time we got
the picture it has shrunk considerably – just minutes before this it was just
HUGE.
Here we are at the ballet – we thought we were the stuff.
And here’s Vanessa. She did a great job!
There were a lot of very young children in the production –
they were just so cute. We had a fabulous time!
Go to Sara’s blog here to see the blogs of
all the other Project 365 participants. Have a great week!
Most of our photos are taken with a 12
megapixel Nikon D5000 DSLR, using a 55-200mm zoom lens. This is the camera that
Dr. M takes with him most days. We also take pictures with our old reliable 7
megapixel Canon Powershot A710. This is the camera that the Bug uses most of the time.
If you’re interested in which camera was used for a particular shot, just ask!
Nice pictures. Nice life. You two seem to be enjoying life to the fullest. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a hoot.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, you are the stuff.
Another great week of photographs. I always said that when retired to NC I would learn to play the dulcimer. I just love hearing them. Maybe this winter would be a good time to learn.
ReplyDeleteOh, so THAT's an osage orange. I've heard of them but I never knew what they were. And I remember finding one of those fruits once in Central Park!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, the Nutcracker ballet sounds lovely and you both look so glam (no penguin hat?):)
ReplyDeleteCoyote... SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe have a girl in our youth group that plays the dulcimer... I love it... such a neat little instrument
you had an eventful week, absolutely loved you adventure in the feminine products isle!
ReplyDeleteWay to live on the edge!
Blessings

The coyote was scary. We have a problem with them around where I live. Loved the tax time pig. I have a friend who plays a hammered dulcimer. I have always wanted to learn how to play one. Loved the pictures this week...even the scary birds. They reminded me of the Hitchcock movie.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Stephen.
ReplyDeleteThat coyote looks more like a young wolf. The ones out here are sleeker, when one sees one.
Love, love, love seeing nature through your (plural) eyes. There are so many things I wouldn't notice or know about, like 'osage orange', great pic!
ReplyDeleteState of the Bug--great story!
And I really liked the photo of you two and of Dr. M and his dulcimer.
Keep on having way too much fun, Bug! :)
great photos - loving the state of the bug this week, and all the shots of sunsets - great stuff
ReplyDeleteBeautiful outdoor pictures this week. My MIL plays the dulcimer. She loves the sound. It is pretty. Gorgeous ballerina you have there. I would love to take the girls to a ballet recital. sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteZen Mass? What an interesting concept!
