Day 49

Written on February 18, 2010 – 17:59 | by Silvia T. |

The squirrels are taunting our dog day in and day out. They parade in front of our patio door, when she is inside, the jump on trees and look down on her, they walk with their tiny feet on our roof and bite their way into our roof.

Day 44

Written on February 13, 2010 – 18:05 | by Silvia T. |

This vase and base is from the Rosenthal collections and belonged to my grandmother. There are two quotes

Mütter müssen mal behüten mal bewahren-  (Mothers sometimes need to protect and sometimes perpetuate)

The other one is from Johann Friedrich von Schiller, the German poet who said

Oh, nicht an Rat gebricht’s der Mutterliebe! (Oh, a mother’s love does not lack counsel)

I am continueing to practice with my new lens (50mm/f 1.8). I really like the way a background can become more interesting even though, like in this picture, it “just” happens to be the kitchen sink.

Valleywood Middle School contacted me to see if our students could skype into their 7th grade Social Studies class. They were studying World Religions and had questions about Judaism. It was a great experience for our students to be the “experts” and share their knowledge.
