Hippo Underwater

Mar26

I took this photo at the San Diego Zoo. I’ve never seen a hippo underwater, so it was fun getting a shot of him like this. Think of it. You go swimming here and find him underwater? Highly dangerous. So no swimming! Don’t even think of dipping a toe into the water.

I’m still researching Bear in Pursuit, which is slowing me down. And of course I had to plant plants. No more buying plants. Now I just need to keep them alive.

Hope you swim only in nice safe places!

When You Go to the Grocery Store and…

Mar25

Plants jump into your basket. Most are mums, some Turk’s Cap and a sweet tomato plant.

I’m off to work now and will try and plant these tomorrow in the morning before the sun is too strong.

Do plants ever jump into your cart when you hadn’t planned on taking any home???

Lighthearted Fantasy Fun

Mar24

Okay, not a romantic at heart, says the lion jester.

I finally got the last plant planted, red esperanza. I was still trying to remove a couple of crepe myrtles. No success on the crepe myrtles. The roots go to China, and if you don’t get them all up, they just come right back. I love them, but they just sprout up everywhere.

I’m off to work on Bear in Pursuit. Nearly to 60K.

Have a lovely day, romantic or not!

Happy World Bear Day

Mar23

Photo of the bear taken at Wolf Park in Omaha!

I loved going there. I wish my son and daughter-in-law still lived there so I could see them and go to all the beautiful places there–forests, museums, wolf park reserve, their lovely zoo.

I need to plant one more plant, just trying to figure out where.

Hope your day is beautiful and you don’t run into a black bear anytime soon! Unless you’re protected!

Fawn at the Omaha Wildlife Reserve

Mar20

It’s not that cold here, but it’s cold enough. lol

I’m going to try and get some yard work done before the sun is too much.

Hope you have a delightful day!!

Elk at the Omaha Wildlife Reserve

Mar19

He was happily chilling.

Well, the chemo has made my counts drop, they wouldn’t let me take the next dose of immunizations for another 6 weeks, and I was up really early, before it was light out, to trim back several crepe myrtles and a ligustrum. I still need to do a lot more, but wore myself out. lol

I’m off to plant some more plants while the shade is out if I can find the energy. Though it’s cold out!

Have a terrific day!

Geese on a Lake in Houston

Mar18

Still not feeling well from the chemo. I was off it yesterday, but the residual will make me feel bad for a few days.

Hoping my blood counts haven’t dropped too much and that I can get the next dose of 5 vaccines today.

Hope your day is delightful!

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!
