Cam-Owl-Flage

Posted on February 16, 2015 by judilyn

First it was the woodpeckers, screeching and flying about. Then the Chihuahuan ravens took over, squawking and flapping. We figured there was a snake about somewhere because that’s what we hear from the birds when they are worried about a … Continue reading →

Bananas Foster Cakes

Posted on February 1, 2015 by judilyn

I was out of strawberries and pineapple, so this brunch looks kind of bland with no bits of the bright colors that I favor for my photographs. BUT – today’s Sunday brunch was definitely not short on flavor. I made … Continue reading →
