Linda Giancaspro with Artistic Dance, Inc. ran it very beautifully, and I am grateful to her for having created … Read more

I love fog as a backdrop. Andromeda [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

Driving Cuties

I think we’ve done it. I’ve discovered that while I enjoy being chauffeured, it’s not the most reliable transportation with Zach completely unable to navigate … Read more

Yay for Dead Leafhoppers & Asiatic Dayflowers!

July 27, 2015August 31, 2014 by Sandy Connolly

[et_pb_section][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] I suppose I have weird obsessions. I’ve been wanting to photograph these Asiatic dayflowers next to my garage for weeks now. As soon as you even look at them funny, they start to wilt, though, dang it. I just love the structure of the flowers. And leafhoppers are my very favorite … Read more

This Came Out of My Body?

July 27, 2015July 29, 2014 by Sandy Connolly

Sometimes I am in complete disbelief over what my children are doing. How could this possibly have come out of me? I would never in a million years be able to do that or even know where to begin, or even think of doing it! When I hear Rachel say something like, “Oh yeah! The … Read more

Girls on Bikes performs at the Country Tavern

July 26, 2014July 25, 2014 by Sandy Connolly

I have to admit, I’m having a personality crisis. Who am I today? Should I write as “The Sandy Connolly Band” and post this on my band page? Since it’s not band-related, I decided not to. My encouragement of the local music scene has taken on a life of it’s own, and I don’t know … Read more

Using Your Wet Car Window as a Lens Filter

July 5, 2014 by Sandy Connolly

And to think that I was annoyed with Abigail for getting in my shot while I was “setting up.” Turns out this photo is better than the one I had in my mind to get. How cool is that, with the rain drops on the car window? To think that this is where Abigail has … Read more

Barberpole Sedge (Scirpus microcarpus)

July 27, 2015July 4, 2014 by Sandy Connolly

I learned what Dark Green Bulrush sedges looked like the other day. This seems like that to me only the tops are WAY bigger with far more going on. I love the close up shot of the inflorescence. Note the band of dark red on the leaf sheath. These were in the jack pot of … Read more

A Photo of Poales Dedicated To My Son, Zachariah

July 27, 2015July 4, 2014 by Sandy Connolly

Poales Next to the Bank in Ellsworth, Maine

This morning, Abigail, Zachariah, and I accompanied my mom and stepdad for the half hour haul into Ellsworth. A trip into town from their house (Thrush Cottage) in Waltham is a big deal around here. The town of Waltham is so small my mom says she hasn’t even been able to find it in all … Read more

Shallow Sedge (Carex lurida)

July 5, 2014July 3, 2014 by Sandy Connolly

These Shallow Sedges were hanging out with the Toad Rushes I posted earlier at Thrush Cottage on Little Webb Pond in Waltham, Maine. My favorite thing about them is how kinky the leaf gets in spots.
