It's been seven months since I last worked on my Aquarium Project. I would like to get back to doing this on Sundays. 

The top photo and the two Haigas are my intellectual property. You are welcome to use them, but please credit me if you do. A link back to this blog would also be appreciated.

The Phantoms of Yesterday

Taken 7 May 2017 at the Denver Aquarium


soul too fragile
always searching for something
always turned away

haunting the future
the phantoms of yesterday
explore the wreckage

The photograph, words, and text art are mine. The Haiga was created using free design elements from Pixlr.com.

I hope my interpretation isn't too far out for the Photo Sunday prompt, which is Two. I perceive the photo as having two main subjects: the stingray and the shipwreck. If my suggestion is too far off the rails, please feel free to remove my entry.

You are welcome to use either image, but please credit me.

Any of these will do, and a link back to this blog is appreciated. 

When the top picture was taken, my son and I were celebrating his 27th birthday and Mother's Day at the Denver Aquarium.

I used this prompt from the archives of Carpe Diem Haiku to inspire my Haiga.

Ornery Photography + Not So Silent Sunday: From the Treetops



The images were taken on 17 January 2017 at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. You are welcome to use them, but please credit me. Cara Hartley/The Real Cie/The Ornery Old Lady.

I am not entirely sure, but I believe the skeleton in the bottom image may belong to one of those big brown tree-climbing critters in the top image.

I've changed things up a little with my photography shares. First off, I'm ditching the long titles. Silent Sunday (which is often Not So Silent Sunday) is specific to me (although not originated by me), so it is included in the title. 

These photography posts take more time than you might think to prepare, create, and share, which is why I sometimes don't do them for a while. I always have multiple projects that I am engaged in. I do consider myself a professional writer, even though I currently make very little money from my craft. I am evidently not a professional photographer, but I do enjoy taking photographs and sharing them with those who will tolerate my amateurish attempts.

Blue Monday + Inspire Me Monday + Macro Monday + Through My Lens



Click to enlarge the images. Here we have a nice diorama of some prehistoric wild pigs with an eye-catching blue sign in the forefront and a well-preserved fossil of a small prehistoric mammal.

Blue Monday + Macro Monday + Through My Lens + Inspire Me Monday: Fish and Seahorse Cutout


Image taken May 2017 at the Denver Aquarium for Mother's Day and my son's birthday lunch. Image copyright Cara Hartley/The Real Cie. As always, you are welcome to use the image, but please credit me.
I often have a tendency to get long-winded on my Inspire Me Monday posts. This time I decided to take my own advice and chug a nice, steaming hot cup of STFU.
