Muscovy Ducks in Okinawa

Jan9

The one was telling the other off, I was sure.

We have them here in Houston. I expected to see a lot of coastal birds but really didn’t see much in the line of them. I saw two falcons around the castle ruins, but I wasn’t able to take a shot of them. :( No water birds like seagulls or pelicans like we have in coastal areas out here. I kept asking the kids where all the birds were. lol

They did have these ducks at the war memorial, the parrots at the botanical gardens, and a little bird, forget what it was called. I saw a flock of egrets from behind some palm trees, and a heron that landed where the parrots show was. I also saw another heron flying over the water, but didn’t get a good shot, cranes at the botanical gardens, and rose doves. But other than at the gardens, I just didn’t see much of anything but, oh, yeah, crows!!!

I’ll show off more pictures as I have time for. Still working on edits on Mated for Christmas and worked on ones for Night of the Vampire. 🙂

Have a great day!!

A Unique Perspective

Dec18

I created the composite for a creative challenge. The theme was humor. At first, I was like…I don’t even know how to create humor in art. Though my writing reflects it in my stories. But that comes naturally. I like subtle humor, rather than in-your-face humor. So then I had it! The meerkat with the unique perspective that saved the day!

I have been writing on Night of the Vampire, still trying to reach the end. It will be 60K before I know it. I wrote 3,000 words yesterday and I’m over 58K now. Yay!!

Okay, off to get some things done. The dogs want to be fed. The birds want to be fed. I need to clean out the bird baths and fill up the water fountain. My son and daughter-in-law got me a Dyson vacuum cleaner for Christmas and I have been having a ball vacuuming. I’m weird, right? But it’s amazing how well it works!!! I’ve been dragging a shop vac around for 20 years because I could never find a vacuum cleaner that did a good job. Neither did it though. So I will be doing more vacuuming–for fun!

Have a nice uniquely different day!

Who Let the Elves Out…

Dec16

I’m up to 54K on Night of the Vampire! Hopefully, I’ll finish it this upcoming week. But…maybe not. With Christmas elves dancing in my head, maybe not.

Have a fun day!

Axel the Alpha Arctic Wolf

Dec15

I took the photo of him at the International Wolf Center.

Half a day of school for my granddaughter today so we’re going to get Jack-in-the-Box chicken nuggets, her favorite, have a picnic at the park and maybe meet up with some of her friends to play. We’re also going to our favorite ice cream place and making 7 Layer Bars–not fattening, of course, after that. We made them last year and she loved it and everyone loved eating them. So it’s our annual thing now.

We’re supposed to have rain today, so it looks like the rain has been delayed enough to have our picnic at the park, yay! Off to feed the birds, the dogs, and write a little and then go to the store for some more items that I have to pick up.

Hope your day is wolfishly great!

The Snow Queen

Dec13

Today is gingerbread house day. My granddaughter and I make a gingerbread house every year, but this year’s looks like it suffered an earthquake. We use the precut gingerbread houses, but this one, the walls were sooooooo thick, that they wouldn’t stick together, the icing so difficult to squeeze out that we had a royal mess.

Did we have fun? Yep! And that’s the key! If I have a chance, I’ll take a picture and show them off tomorrow. But today, we’re going to the school district’s gingerbread house party where all the school kitchens create their own houses according to some theme.

I’m off to get ready for my grandson’s arrival. If I can, I should reach 50K on vampire today, which was my goal. Woohoo! But I still have to finish it so it will be longer.

Have a super cool day!

Swans a Swimming

Dec12

I took the photo of the swans somewhere. lol I don’t recall now. I loved their reflections.

I managed 2,000 words on Night of the Vampire yesterday! So I’m only 1 day behind on word count goal, but last night, I couldn’t quit thinking about it and ended up getting up and writing more and editing more. Soooo, I need to finish this so I won’t keep thinking about it in the middle of the night. 🙂

Then I’m off to expand a novella, Dreaming of the Highland Wolf. My publisher decided not to add novellas to my re-releases so I can now just publish this myself. But when I was reading it, I thought it could be expanded to a novel. So that’s the next project I need to complete.

I have errands to run, but otherwise, I’m having a vampire day. Hope yours is great!

Wild Cat in Winter

Dec10

I believe I took the photo of the cat at the Cameron Park Zoo, Waco, Texas.

Supposedly it got to 33 degrees last night. I need to winterize my sprinkler system. It’s supposed to be 34 tomorrow morning. We had some high winds last night, no hail, like they predicted, so I was glad for that! I don’t think we even got rain. But our temperatures are staying in the 60s-70s in the afternoons, 40s in the mornings now, except for today. Our high is 58, so it seems like winterizing isn’t needed. However, it would be awful if the weather changed and I wasn’t prepared!

I’m off to work on Night of the Vampire. I’m behind on my writing goal because of stopping to proof Wolf on the Prowl to turn it in, but I managed to write 3,000 words yesterday. We went to see Santa, and they were making donuts for us, and then we ate at MOD pizza. They have a new peppermint chocolate treat that is so good.

Have a fun-loving day!!!

The Winter Queen

Dec9

I took the photos of the elk at the Omaha wildlife reserve. The rest are a composition of background, queen, added blurred branch and snow and added vibrance to eyes.

It’s time to see Santa and have lunch, then get back to working on Night of the Vampire! I had some ideas and was working on them last night, but I need to get going on it before all the other activities.

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Transformation

Nov7

These little guys looked like they were in such an awful landscape so I freed them with some photo work.

I have my granddaughter today, had her overnight and she had a night terror at 3 and after talking to her about how our brain works and sifts through things we’ve watched, or read, or lived and then mixes everything up, it’s just normal, she finally went to asleep. But then I was awake until she got up at 6. ugh. lol

So we’re off on our all-day adventure, cinnamon rolls and a turtle feeding pond walk first thing, a trip to the mall, and lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. And then maybe a nap for me! lol

Have a wonderfully adventurous day!

Another of My Super Moon Pictures

Sep3

I still can’t believe the phone can take such great shots of it.

Well, I’m off to write. Managed 1,000 words yesterday. I’m nearly at 58K, which makes it a short novel instead of a novella, so it’s nearly triple in size. I’m happy. It tells more of a story then.

Hope your weekend is going great. We have more of the same heat…and on and on and on. When I write the DEA red wolf story, it’s in the summer, so it will be easier to write than when there’s snow on the ground and we’re sweltering in the heat!
