The Love of a Dog

It may seem a daunting task to ascertain the emotions of a dog, but once you have one as a companion, your mental connections will be in sync. That connection is special and should never be taken for granted. He is after all your friend and his love and loyalty to you will never be in doubt.

Dogwood of Spring

Beautiful if I must say so myself.

...Lazy Daze The Album

Lazy Daze

...time for sharing

On this blog, you will notice a barrage of posts with the ending ...The Album. These are albums of photos I have taken over the past year or so and I wanted to to share them in their entirety. If it works out the way I plan, you should be able to click on the photo and all the pics will appear. If it goes directly to Google + you can use the arrows to go to one pic to the other. There should be an option toward the top to go to web albums, and if you do, you can use the slideshow option which I favor. Oh, by the way there is a huge photo album of Ralphy...my buddy. He is photogenic and I am an unabashed Ralphy fan...in case you didn't notice. Let me know what you think. Thanks. See ya.........jimmy

...go to Google Plus

Google + is quite an interesting way to share photos and view ideas from people from anywhere on the planet. I have been involved with Google + for a while and I enjoy sharing and receiving. You can go to to the website and type in my name...I think they have it as Jim rather than James and of course my last name. You can then see photo albums I am sharing. If you join Google +, you can of course have your own site and post your photos. Anyway, it is another way for you to see some of the things I am doing. I think it's pretty cool. Oh by the way on this blog site, there is an area below that allows you to put your email in so whenever I post a new blog, it will go straight to your email. If you like onthedoorsteps.blogspot.com., enter other emails of persons you know that might be interested. By the way again, this blog goes back to 2010, so there is a spot where you can click to see past blogs. I hope my photos are getting better. Any feedback, please let me know. See ya...........jim
PS Google + is free.

...Lucy in the Sky

Lucy just happened to visit the other day and I had to capture her on my camera. She is a wonderful girl and I just wanted to thank her for posing for me. See ya...........jimmy

Nesting

Jim Giordano - 10:13 AM - Extended circles

In the infinite universe, this tiny sparrow...a mere speck in time, ekes out his life and surviving as best as a bird can. We too as human beings are but miniscule moments in the ocean of life and making the most of those moments is a noble endeavor. Don't wait....make your nest today.

...Different Spring

Differences as to how we perceive objects is one of the special things people do. The avenues in our minds take multiple twists and turns to arrive at a particular point in time. I see a flower and imagine it blue. This is a good thing. See ya.............jimmy

....cherry blossom

Every flower no matter when it blooms shares a common sense of beauty and wonder.

...Mellow Yellow

Sometimes a photo comes out just the way you want it to. An amateur at best when it comes to photography, I appreciate being able to take a pic that I really feel has "something". Simple, soft and serene is how I view this early spring daffodil. Hope you like it. See ya.......jimmy

...First Flowers

It's very unusual for these flowers to bloom this early in the year, but this has been a very strange winter. Anyway, I might as well get a pic while I can. See ya...........jimmy

...end of the day

In human terms, there almost always is an end to the day, but life continues to go on outdoors whether it's 7pm or 3 in the morning. We have the benefit of our homes for protection, but the wildlife here in this mini forest of west Dearborn Michigan, do not get a pass. They must endure the elements and the dangers. I admire their struggle and am thankful. Nature can teach us lessons of life and how we can overcome our struggles meandering about in the human forest of which we all are a part of. See ya.........jimmy

...caught snoozin'

This was supposed to be my debut. I have been in previous blogs, but with someone else speaking for me. So now I get my chance and look at me! I couldn't help it frankly. The temps outside were hovering close to 70 and the tree limb was oh so comfortable...fit me like a glove. What can I say? In future blogs, I promise to be a bit more alert. Like jimmy and ralphy would say.....see ya!
