Hawk on the Light Pole in Front of My House

Aug31

I was bringing my granddaughter home from school and saw this huge bird swooping down, missing his prey and then he landed on the lamp post. I was so excited, pulled over before I went into my driveway to capture a couple of shots with my phone. I ran into the house to grab my camera to take some better shots, but he was gone.

They would sit on my fence occasionally, coming after the birds on my feeders, you know, kind of a smorgasbord situation, but I have so many tall shrubs and trees now, they’re more protected.

I’m off to write! It is only going to be about 84–which will be about 94 heat index wise, but that’s better than 112!

Have a fun day!!!

Sparrow on a Rocky Water Feature

Aug22

I want one of these for my backyard birds! I shot this in Brenham, Texas. They had a recycling water feature that the birds drank from and some bathed from. It was so fun to watch.

I’m still working on edits on Highland Wolf. It’s done, but I’m now rereading it. And then after I finish that, I’ll proof it and send it to my beta readers. Yay!

I’m off to work on it some more! Have a fun-filled day!

Male Cardinal

Aug21

Took the photo of the cardinal in Brenham, Texas. He caught a glimpse of my camera lens peeking out of the blind.

I have little one here so we’re doing kid exercises, tried Bluey and that was too boring for him, so we have a monster one we’re doing, lol and then I’ll work with him on some preschool pages. I managed to make word count on Highland Wolf, woohoo, so next I’ll be proofing it.

Hope your day is super fine.

Female Cardinal

Aug20

She looks so soft and cuddly. I took the photo of her in Brenham, Texas.

I brainstormed with a friend last night to come up with what I needed to finish Highland Wolf. It’s finished, but I just felt I was missing something. So off I go to write!

Have a wonderfully creative day!

Great tips on cropping photos:  http://www.companyfolders.com/blog/cropping-photos

Seven thousand more words to go on Night of the Wolf! I promised an author I would give her a quote for her book, so we’re having lunch today. I’m going to run and see if I can pick up some “goody” bags for conference too. I had some for another reader game, but now I have to do another. 🙂

Okay, I’m off and running. Didn’t know where to go with story last night, so I started editing what I do have. And some more this morning. Then I had an idea. The problem with my ideas is that they change other stuff. *sigh*

Have a wonderful day! Oh, need to post another blog too. It’s Saturday, right? Not sure how we got here so fast!

Do days sneak up on you too?

Birding While at a Writer’s Retreat!

Jan23

My goals: Edit Dreaming of a White Wolf Christmas, walk, photograph birds

Walk: Check: I walked 6.5 miles on Saturday. (Friday, we got in, so I managed three miles just in getting ready, packing, etc, getting there, and walking all over to check things out.) Yesterday, I had to leave, but managed 2 miles between the morning and the evening after the 4.5 hour drive.

Photograph birds and other stuff: Check.

A tufted titmouse, male red cardinal, female cardinal, spotted towhee, and a female cardinal and sparrows. Quiet Hilltop Ranch had a birding blind. It was great! I didn’t have to photograph birds through a window!

Edits on Dreaming of a White Wolf Christmas. Check. I finished the edits I needed to make on Friday night, and spent Saturday and Sunday re-reading. I have 6 chapters left to re-read and then I can turn it in today.

I was worried about meeting all these deadlines with the two books of edits added in to do, but I’m off schedule, yet, still doing great! Except, now I have to keep writing on Flight of the White Wolf, due April 1st, and write the novella for Heart of the Wolf due March 15th.

So met goals and had a blast! More pictures to show the story coming up.

Off to work! Have a great day!!!
