Tuesday Truth. Number 56. Connection. Humans are social creatures. I'm currently reading Hivemind by Sarah Rose Cavanagh, PhD because I love almost all things studying "why we behave the way we do". And while there are many dimensions to the book, I just wanted to share this part from the inside flap: Humans have always [...]
Capital Cities. This week's Lens-Artists challenge, hosted by Viveka (My Guilty Pleasures), asks us to consider the topic of "Capital". While the interpretation is wide open, I have chosen to share photos from Capital Cities. Amsterdam. Amsterdam has bicycles EVERYWHERE. I liked the colors in this photo as well as the creative basket on the [...]
The Color Red. Red has a way of standing out. Boldy proclaiming its presence. For the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge this week, Patti (Pilotfishblog.com) has challenged us to a scavenger hunt, visiting places and seeking out the color red. We also have the option to "visit" our archives, which is the route I've chosen this week. [...]

Charleston. My husband and I took a quick little getaway last year for our 20th anniversary. We ended up going a month earlier than our anniversary because my husband was going to be starting a new job and also because Big Mr. was on spring break and would be able to get Miss Sunshine to [...]
When I began blogging, one of my great joys was stumbling upon the WordPress weekly photo challenge. The prompts encouraged me to think creatively about my photography. When it went away, I was disappointed, but also busy so I didn't seek out any other photo challenges. However, the Lens-Artists photo challenge has been on my [...]
Four Years of Blogging. Today Bedlam & Daisies turns four! When I started this blog at the beginning of 2016, I had no idea that I'd still be blogging four years later. I mean, I thought I might, but I really had no plans around it. The blog was a place for me to try [...]
Tuesday Truth. Number 54. Tomorrow will begin the New Year. 2020. An entirely new decade! Like many other people, I'm spending some time doing a year-end review.
