"Losing people" is a fun topic? In this case of this fun Friday photo, yep! Loss is disconcerting at best, tragic at worst. Rarely welcomed. So as a fan of black humor to help us through difficult times, I really enjoyed this meme. Hope you do, too. It comes courtesy of Nature Blows My Mind … Continue reading Fun Friday Photo: Losing People
Today's laugh comes from Reader's Digest and is something authors, social media users and pretty much anyone who writes can relate to! 🙂 If you didn't love commas before, you might after thinking about this. Of course, for professional writers, commas are a necessary evil, a wondrous organizer of thought, a typo waiting to happen, … Continue reading Fun Friday Photo: Comma Love
If you've ever wondered what frozen waves look like, here you go. Today's Fun Photo Friday features a shot I took of our lake recently. The edges of the pond had frozen, but the interior--as you can see in the photo--had not. Then, we had an extremely windy day--not uncommon around here--and the whitecaps and … Continue reading Fun Friday Photo: Frozen Waves
Today's fun Friday photo on book hangovers comes from EpicReads.com, via author Lizzie Chantree. This follows on very naturally from my Nov. 28 post in which I agreed with blogger Sarah G's comment about diving back into books you're already finished. Sound familiar, anyone? 🙂

If this doesn't sum up the power of a book to transport us from everyday doldrums to somewhere fantastical, historical, … Continue reading Fun Friday Photo: The Joy of Reading
I woke up recently to this pastoral scene of mist on the lake where I am so lucky to live. Scroll down to watch the video version. Enlarge it to full-screen for the best effect. It's incredibly beautiful and eerie when the air turns colder than our New Hampshire (USA) lake at the end of … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Mist on the Lake
Today's Fun Photo Friday features an image hysterical to most authors I know. Hopefully others will enjoy it too! Scorpion petting. Who came up with that? But it's so spot on. It's hard to quantify how important reader reviews are to authors in this Internet day and age. In fact, some book-focused newsletters and websites … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Scorpion Petting
We call this one the Penguin Slide... I'm not the kind of person who laughs at others' misfortunes -- including penguins -- but I admit this video made me laugh. As a lifetime resident of New England, where we're super embarrassed if we slip and fall on the ice, it's nice to know that even … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Penguin Slide
This photo hits all the seasonal themes: fall yardwork, Halloween, foliage....and I do believe those skeletons have socially distanced themselves -- except for the poor guy under the front of the tractor.
For today's Fun Photo Friday, I bring you this pic I took of a rather large snapping turtle I found in my yard! He/she is in a 5-gallon bucket, so that gives you some idea of the scale -- must have been about a foot wide. I didn't really like the idea of him hanging … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Snapping Turtle in a Bucket
