Foolish gibberish

  • AboutI am also known as CraftyMoni elsewhere on the web. I am a Children’s Librarian. I am a photographer. I am a knitter. I am a reader. I am a wannabe poet. I blog. Sometimes I complain. I like to swear. I have a really twisted sense of humor. I think I might be a Zen Buddhist (Still trying to decide). Not a fan of organized religion. I am very liberal and can be vocal about it at times. I’m a daydreamer. Sometimes sassy. I try to be compassionate. I think I’m pretty nice most of the time. You can delve into deeper waters by reading these posts. You can see my photography on my Flickr page. If you like any photos you see there or on this site and would like to buy a print let me know. I would be happy to sell one to you! I blather about library stuff on  Twitter. You will also find me on Google+ and Facebook. Enjoy your visit!

    The white-booted cat watches from the other side of my sliding glass door.

    June 30, 2013

    The white-booted cat watches
    from the other side
    of the sliding glass door
    as I make my breakfast.
    Her wild green eyes stare at me
    mesmerized by my
    mundane
    morning activity.
    She watches
    As I exercise.
    Her head bobbing
    To my movements,
    Eyes locked.
    I am entertainment.
    When I turn my head
    To look at her
    she intently licks her
    little
    white
    paw
    Feigning disinterest.

  • Wayback Wednesday

    Wayback Wednesday

    my mom and me
    My mom and me at 5

    I was scrolling through my Flickr stream and noticed these two photos side by side. It is the first time I really compared photos of myself and my mom at the same age. I thought I would throw together a diptych of them for today’s Wayback Wednesday post.

    We are both around 5 years old in our portraits.

  • Pinholing at the beach

    June 24, 2013

    I am completely and totally obsessed.  It is all I think about.  What I can pinhole next? It has become a sickness. Should I get help? Or should I just continue on down this merry path and see where it takes me?

    Here are some favorite pinholed moments from our visit to the beach a few weeks ago.

    I just received notice that my Zero Image has shipped. Stay tuned as I sink deeper into this madness.

    Black And White Photography

    June 22, 2013

    “Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.” – Robert Frank
