Juggling grandbaby while typing and feeding her, but wanted to get this done before the day tuns into night.

Wishing you all a beautiful fall day!

Antique? White Rocking Horse

Sep18

This rocking horse is smaller, so my jester bear doesn’t look so tiny on the big horse.

Running late on blogging. Trying to get several posted for different sites and getting books ready to ship. Trying to multi-task isn’t working. lol I have lots of half-finished things.

Antique? Rocking Horse…

Sep17

A man had these in his shop for years for display. And then another man had a store next door to his, and when the other sold off his store, he bought them. He had them for years in his home. Then they are moving, downsizing and his daughter posted them on the neighbors’ site.

It reminds me of horses that the owner can no longer care for (except these are much lower maintenance) and they keep going from one family to another.

I imagine they’re replicas of antiques, extremely heavy wood, and beautiful. I wanted the stained smaller one she had, not sure I liked the head up in this one and that it was so big, but once I got it home, I just loved it. The picture of it in her garage didn’t do it justice. And they were really inexpensive for the beauty of them. I was looking online, trying to make up my mind about them, wondering if I was crazy to get them, but there wasn’t anything like them, and the ones that came close were around $350-$4,000. So these were a steal.

They’re not meant for kids. Just for me. 🙂  For picture taking and my bears. The jester is one of the bears I created that came in first place for best dressed bear at the Fort Lauderdale Bear and Doll Show years ago.

I had a beautiful carousal horse for years, and a huge rocking horse my dad made for the kids, bigger than this one. He made the small ones to sell for years. But with every move, I had to leave each of them behind. But these are truly magnificent. I wanted the stained smaller one, but the dad decided to keep it. So I got the white version. Now I need to make tails for them. I’ll show off the white one tomorrow.

Keeping up with word count on Billionaire. Only 14,000 words to go! I never can believe when I start out that I can get so far! It seems like it is insurmountable. And then after days and weeks and months of writing, it’s done. Or in this case, nearly done. The key is to set a goal and to…try and stick to it. 🙂

Have a lovely day!!

Fall

Sep16

Black Swallowtail, Tiger Swallowtail, Milkweed bug and aphids, ladybug, all part of the fall garden here. And on my walk, I actually saw a bit of fall color.

The other picture???? St. Croix, Minnesota. *sigh* Now that’s the beauty of fall.

Playing around with Photoshop

Sep15

The composite is made of a cemetery in Edinburgh–beautiful angel statue, the dog gravestones, Edinburgh Castle, a Texas moon. The fog and wolf were overlays.

Deer reflected in the water where there was none.

Time for grandbaby to come over. Which means no writing. I have kept up and I’m only 16,000 words from word count. Though a long way from finishing the story. Off to get ready!!

Have a lovely day!

Good Fences Make Good Neighbors

Sep14

My Havanese loved the St Bernard and barked at him to run along the fence with them. They ran back and forth, back and forth, then they took breathers and checked each other out again. He was such a mellow fellow, and he’s just a puppy. If the fence wasn’t there? They’d probably have been afraid of him.

He inspired me to add him to Flight of the White Wolf, which is coming out next year.

Have a great one!!

Daytona Beach, Setting Sun in Feb

Sep13

I hope it’s still standing after the storms.

I used RAW filter adjustments to change the color to more teal and orange, and then I thought I’d see if a final filter using Topaz Studio would make a difference. One had clouds and when I clicked on it, that was it. Then I added some more light rays on the clouds and water.

If you have Photoshop, this is a neat filter program and for now, Topaz Studio is free.

Cats on the Prowl

Sep12


There are actually two black ones. And a baby mockingbird waiting for dinner. He doesn’t know they are too.

He was safe! Hope you have a good one!

Beautiful Creatures

Sep11

A tabby cat looking to eat my birds.
A snow leopard on the prowl.
An Arctic wolf watching us.

I’ve never used Lightroom before because I didn’t know how to! But here is a great video on how you can use it.

Okay, got to get a promo blog to my publicist!!!! And I’m behind, but catching up on Billionaire.

Raven with plum 900 29

This is a picture of Raven, her boyfriend took it of her in a graveyard. I added her to a backdrop I purchased and added a raven I’d taken a picture of in Daytona Beach. I’ll be creating a Raven Fae book featuring her!

Off to write before the day gets even more away from me.

All I can say is I hope everyone who wanted to leave, left.

Between hurricanes, tornadoes, water surges, winds, earthquakes, etc, etc, etc….

I won’t ask what’s next.
