Happy 4th!

July 4, 2010 – 11:43 pm

Happy fourth of July or Independence day. Whichever one you like to call it. There may be a few things I dislike about this country but that does not mean I do not love it. There is so much to love about the USA. I think its stunning what this country has and does. Look at the hundreds of different cultures we have here. The many different lifestyles, religions and everything else. I think the most wonderful thing is people have a chance to live up to their dreams. Some call it the American dream but I dont like calling it that. To me that is too specific to one type of dream. I am talking about all dreams. The ones you dream at night and daydream during the day. They can be accomplished here.

Our Sick Society

April 30, 2010 – 3:48 pm

. I came across an article yesterday about how the facebook group, ‘Praying’ For President Obama’s Death hits one million members. What! That pisses me off and is just sick. Disturbing! You may not like someone but wanting them dead is wrong. I know some people who hate somebody and wish they just got hit by a car or something. Let me tell you. I may dislike people but to me it is wrong to ever wish someone to be dead. Everyone deserves to live. I did not like Bush but I never wanted him dead. That is just not right and it crosses the line.

Winter Eskimo

March 3, 2010 – 8:05 am

I may hate the frigid coldness of winter but that does not mean I hate winter itself. I was born in Russia. I must like it! Every season has its beauty and that includes winter. That does not mean in every part of the world the beauty is the same for each season and each person. For New Jersey, in my eyes the snow is the beauty and the greatness of winter. The snow is what I look forward to. If there is no snow here during the winter it was not a good winter. Pure whiteness on the ground makes winter survivable for me. Do you know the main reason I like winter? Guess! It is because it means Spring is coming. That means warmer weather and colors of nature will start bursting.

Until Spring comes I will stay the winter eskimo. The Jersey eskimo.  Bundling up in my hoodie and enduring each day knowing warmer weather is just around the corner. I took this photo with my cell phone. Yes, seriously! It surprised me how well it came out. I guess it is also the photographer in me that made it good. Do not get too upset with winter because its part of nature. Do not worry Spring will be here soon! Stay warm and enjoy the winter of 2010 before its gone for forever.

Snow!

December 6, 2009 – 11:37 pm

The first snow of the year came down yesterday from the gray sky. It was not much but it warned us to get our shovels out. I don’t like winter that much but I do enjoy seeing snow fall and sticking to the ground. Watching the four seasons we get here is a spectacular thing. Its one of the reasons why I like living in New Jersey.

Traveling Thoughts

July 26, 2009 – 8:06 pm

blackeyedsusanHello. How was everybody’s Sunday fun day? Mine was normal. Nothing big or exciting happened. We came home from the cabin and got some Dairy Queen. It was yummy as usual. The weather is crazy. Been thunder storming on and off with sun out too. It is suppose to rain and thunderstorm this whole week which will be just wonderful for my sinuses. I will expect a sinus headache so I will have the Excedrin ready. Besides the bad weather the day has been fine. I listened to Daughtry’s new album most of the day. I love music!

You know what I thought about today. I want to travel a little bit around the United States. I am not one to really want to travel out of the country. Maybe one day to my home country of Russia. Also, maybe Italy, Australia and the UK but mainly the USA. I would definitely want to go to the Grand Canyon. Also, just see the magnificent land and history of this country and take a lot of photographs. There is so much to see. I am a person who would settle down but once in awhile take a trip somewhere. Those are my traveling thoughts.

It is a black eyed susan. Pretty pretty pretty. I like how I captured the whole flower and right in the center. Just a great photo in my opinion. I have a lot of these flowers in our garden so that is why I take so many photos of them. Flowers are beautiful and great photo subjects. What do you think of this photo?
