Sand Castles at South Padre Island

Mar16

I took the photo of the sand castles there 6 years ago, and then added a different background from Daily Texture–a hand-painted background. A friend asked if these were AI generated. Nope. Some castle builders must have spent hours working on them. We came across them while walking on the beach before sunset.

Semi-original photo. I removed all the people in the water by using select tool of the water nearby, copy, pasted, masked off ragged edges, until they blended and looked like the original Gulf, minus the people. I tried a Photoshop AI generated removal, it was awful. lol Sometimes it can work. Sometimes it’s a mess.

My daughter has spring break this week, so we’re going to a garden center in the cold today. The temperatures dropped. Brrr, but we’ll have a blast.

Chemo is making me feel bad but I just have today and then I’m done for a couple of weeks. Have a super great day!

Stellar Blue Jays in My Backyard

Mar15

Beautiful birds!

The winds are supposed to be strong today, and tomorrow our temperatures are expected to drop significantly. I’m trying to get some yardwork done this morning because of it. It’s really nice this morning.

Hope you are not hit by this horrible cold–or in California’s case, this horrible heat.

Peacock in All Its Finery

Mar14

I took the photo of him in Hawaii.

I wasn’t feeling well last night and I think it’s the chemo. Three more days of it and then I’m off for 2 weeks.

I only need 15,000 words on Bear in Pursuit for the minimum word count. I’m hoping to get a little branch trimming done today and get more word count.

Hope your day is just as vibrant as the peacock’s!

Jaguar Nearly Asleep

Mar13

His eyes are just a wee bit open as he watches me take a photo of him at the Omaha zoo. Love jaguars. They are such beautiful big cats.

Last day of spring break for my granddaughter. We were painting bookmarks yesterday. I’m not good at that kind of art, but we had fun.

The temperature has dropped drastically, so don’t really feel like doing anything in the garden. But it’s supposed to get to 72 about 1 pm, so maybe by then we can go out and play!

Have a terrific Friday the 13th!

Budgies Conversing

Mar12

These two little budgies at the Dallas Zoo were talking away to each other.

My granddaughter and I planted our flowers yesterday, and then we had thunderstorms, perfect timing, though I got a little wet when I put zinnia seeds out at the last moment. The temperature dropped this morning, brrr. So glad we did all this yesterday.

We’re going to our favorite ice cream shop for a treat this afternoon, the first time in over a year since I’ve been.

Hope you are enjoying your day!

Muscovy Ducks at a Park in Houston

Mar11

My granddaughter is here most of the time gardening and creating artwork, so I have to help and I’m missing posting. lol

But we’re having fun.

Hope your day is going super fine.

The Goat and the Squirrel

Mar9

I took the photo of the goat in Okinawa, and the squirrel in my backyard.

Well, it’s time for blood work again. Fingers crossed my blood counts haven’t dropped to much. I’ve been on chemo for a week. So far, so good.

Hope you have a lovely day!

Bluebird Bug Eater

Mar8

Bluebird ready to fly. A whole bunch of bluebirds, this one included, flew toward my living room window when I was writing a book. They were going under the eave, targeting yellow jackets building a nest. Instant bug control.

Now, if only they would work on the yellow jackets around here!

We had wild storms last night. Two inches of rain! We really needed it!

I planted some seeds while it was raining. It’s a great time to plant!

Hope your day is going great! I think the chemo is getting to me this morning. Feeling queasy. 🙁 It’s been a week on the chemo.

Stunning Stork at the Dallas Zoo

Mar6

Love the big birds. They’re so elegant.

I’ve been doing lots of yardwork, trimming branches, and planting some hostas. I finished my taxes and have to work on the grizzly bear story.

I had to wash Max. He threw up this morning. He does that every once in a while and smells so bad. As soon as I brought out the portable dog bath, both dogs took off for the hills. lol But he smells nice and clean now.

Have a great day!!

Tufted Titmouse in My Backyard

Mar5

Original and artified. I love taking a photo and turning it into photoart.

I’m doing okay so far on the chemo. It’s been just 3 days so far.

I planted chives and crocuses yesterday, still cutting branches down.

Hope your day is great. One of my dogs threw up, smells awful, so I know what I need to do next. lol Not one of my goals for today.Off to wash him.
