White Bison and Brown Photo Art

Mar8

I took the photo of the bison at the wildlife reserve in Omaha, Nebraska. They have these humongous doors that automatically open and you drive into the reserve. It reminds me of Jurassic Park and their huge doors. They have deer and bison, elk, turkeys, roaming free on the land. And they have the white bison, and they had a calf too. I used Daily Texture for the background and foreground, and the additional clouds and moon are from Oscraps.

I worked all day on White Wolf Moon edits and have more to do this morning. Then after that, I’ve got to start reading it through to make sure I caught anything we all missed, then turn it in. In the meantime, I started working on Billionaire wolf, and I have 3,000+ words on that also. So a beginning. But I have to start somewhere! Once I’m done editing and proofing White Wolf, I can concentrate more on Billionaire. I wanted to write more yesterday, but I needed to get White Wolf done.

I need to go to the grocery store, but they’re not going to require masks in a couple of days and we have five different strains of the more easily shared COVID-19 in the Houston area. Yes, I’m wearing a mask, so hopefully, that will help. But I noticed already, last Friday, a woman picking up her toddler at the daycare, no mask, even though it was required. And at the grocery store a week before that, a woman wearing no mask. I was reading about a 27-year-old who died of COVID. So it’s not only the elderly who get sick and die of it.

In any event, I’m disappointed in the way things are being handled here. If we would wait a couple of more months while everyone gets vaccinated who wants to, we would be in a lot better shape. But more people will die needlessly.

Okay, back to the book and writing where pandemics are just the stuff of legends and myths and old history.

Hope you all are staying healthy and safe and have a super, lovely day!

Battling to Write

Jan8

So I woke to having this idea about another story. I know. I know. Too many stories. But it was about the white cougar a fan had sent me , and so I had to write it, and I had to write on the new white wolf book to get my daily word count. I ended up with about 5200 words on White Wolf and 3300 on Saving the White Cougar. It’s going to be a novella so it will be around 27,000. And I was working on edits on Primal Desire.

I took the pictures at the Waco zoo and then created photo art!

Okay, so I’m getting a slow start this morning. I shouldn’t read the news. I had been thinking of the cougar story before I got up and I should have just started writing instead.

I know better. Often I’ll just check the news at night before I go to bed. Right. That’s a bad time to read it too. In fact, anytime is bad to read the news!!

Have a super great day and stay safe!

Redundant Photography

My son taking a picture of a bison while I’m taking a picture of him taking a picture. Is that redundant or what?

Ever See a White Bison?

Jul5

Did you know that bison and buffalo are not the same critter? Settlers mistakenly called bison buffalo, but they technically live in Africa and Asia, whereas bison are in North America. Bison have the huge shoulder hump and massive heads. They even have a few bison in Poland. They are from the same family–the buffalo and bison, but they are two distinct animals.

Here are some pictures of the white bison a couple of years ago, and then this year, but probably last year, she had a baby, which we didn’t know about. It was really fun to see two of them this time.

By himself, the juvenile is white, but standing next to his parent, he’s browner, but still much whiter than the brown bison.

My son was driving and the bison were on his side of the car, so he took the pictures. He wanted to get a cool picture of just the white bison’s reflection. This was what I loved so much when we saw them this time. All the animals, elk included, were trying to beat the heat, either by staying in the shade, or wading in the water.  The years before, it was Thanksgiving and the ponds were frozen. 🙂 No need to beat the heat!

Did I mention that when I got home, my external hard drive is giving me an error message and I can’t access it? Grrr.

I can still access it on my laptop, so the cords and such are working. My son and my SIL tried to figure it out, but no success. I save all my stories on it because my computer has crashed so many times. I really can’t afford not to be able to use it. 🙁

So then I loved my son’s water container for his dog. And I got one for mine. They loved it at his house and he doesn’t have to refill it all the time. So I filled mine up with water, and it started to fill up the dish, and fill it, and fill it, and wait, it’s going to breach the top any second now. Puppies are waiting in heady anticipation. They love the water from those. They are excited. But like me, waiting for it to quit filling up. I had to quickly tilt it back and stop the water from filling up and try to tip it back into the tank, only it began pouring all over the floor. So then I was running the tank into the kitchen to let the water out there, puppies racing with me–their mommy is always so much fun–until I could figure out what I had done wrong. Not turned it enough in the seat.

I do things like this just to entertain you, you know. Just in case your life is boring.

Oh, and yesterday, Max was thwarted from going to the bathroom…by this.

Tanner raced over him to get to the grass, never seeing him. Max saw him and stopped dead in his tracks, tried to move around him, then backed up, and did the same. I finally had to carry him over the toad. Max, thwarted by a toad.

Have a great day!!! Back to working on Billionaire in Wolf’s Clothing!
