…if it fur is warm enough that the predicted colder than normal January doesn’t nip its buds.
I’m not exactly sure what plant this is, but its fuzzy flower buds caught my eye on a New Year’s Day walk. I loved the textures and the way the little fuzzy hairs caught the winter light.
Welcome to week 1 of the Pull up a Seat Challenge in 2020.
It’s hard to believe that it is 2020. I hope everyone has a happy New Year.

Continue reading Pull up a Seat Photo Challenge 2020-Week 1I don’t think I’m addicted to tech. But I certainly spend a good deal of time using my computer and smart phone. Lately, especially after the revelations about Facebook during the past couple of years, I’ve been trying to find my way to using technology as opposed to being used by it. I closed my Facebook account and have started to use Firefox, which has a containment add-on for Facebook, instead of Chrome for many things. I am also testing DuckDuckGo as a search engine, because I sometimes feel like the Google Monster has a creepy grasp on me.
I’ve been rather inactive for the last month. I can’t seem to keep up and when I don’t keep up the vast number of posts coming out every day (honestly I do not know how people manage to post everyday) make catching up in the time available impossible. So if I missed your brilliant holiday posts I apologize.
Life has been going on. When stuff happens (do you ever feel like shouting “it didn’t ‘happen’, you did it!” to someone?) I always wind up silenced for a while. It’s kind of like when you fall and it takes a moment to figure out if you are alright or not, then get back up. If you don’t pause a bit before you get back up your legs can’t hold you.
I feel like I saw many beautiful things and learned a lot last year (notice my leprechaun animated GIF?).
A great thing about photography as a hobby is being able to go back through the archives for a year and see how much happened that was beautiful and good. I feel like holding onto the good and beautiful is critical to staying as close to sane as I can manage.
Right now I have a fear that I may see perfectly a lot of bad stuff happening.
Here’s hoping I am wrong!

For Wordless Wednesday
I looked into it a bit last year and learned that my zygocactus, also known as schlumbergera, is a Thanksgiving or crab sort, not a Christmas cactus (hence it is about done blooming). Mine also tends to flower in spring, often around Easter, and sometimes again in summer. I guess it likes the bay window.
For Cee’s Flower of the Day and Macro Monday (officially on hiatus for the holidays).
Here are a few more photos of the Gingerbread Village in Downtown Seattle. Two more of the entries.
These show the overall structure of the entry that contains the seats I used for yesterday’s Pull up a Seat Photo Challenge.
Photos of one more of the Houses are in my post Sweet Details.
One more to go next week.
