Rainbow and a Wolf Cloud

Jul23

Thunderheads surrounded us but off to one side was a break in the sky and a rainbow. I couldn’t believe how brilliant it was, and a wolf cloud was showing us the way home. We were returning from South Padre Island from the 4-day weekend we had there. The storms last night knocked out half the power in the building where my daughter works. I couldn’t sleep last night because I was worried about losing power. I swear we all have PTSD. I’m going to pick up just a couple of groceries. My fridge is still empty after the disaster of losing everything in there.

I’m still researching solar generators. I’ve been so sick with COVID that it’s been hard to concentrate, but I need some kind of backup.

I did manage to reach the halfway point on Highland Wolf, but I got my edits back for Wolf Bound from my lovely beta readers, so when I have a chance (we’re going to get groceries first), I’ll work on that. Have to pick up the doggies too.

Have a super fun day! We had fun but I’m always glad to be back home too!

Double Rainbow

Jul16

What’s better than seeing a rainbow? Seeing two of them!

Still dealing with this awful head cold. Yesterday, my 3-year-old grandson said, “Did you see the lights flicker?” Even as young as he is, he’s worried we’ll be without power again. We went to the grocery store and picked up butter, corn on the cob, milk, roasted chicken and some freezer chicken sticks that the grands love. But nothing else. We’re still worried our electric will go out again. They ate and ate and ate at my place. They’ve been eating really light while we were trying to stay cool in restaurants and such. I think it’s just been stressful more than we realize for them. My granddaughter went to get the chicken sticks for me to heat up and she looks in the freezer and she just stares. Yes. The freezer is bare except one little package of chicken sticks. lol

The people we stayed with on Friday night lost their electricity for 2 hours on Saturday night after we left. So we don’t want to stock up our fridges and lose everything again.

Hope your week is going super great!!! As long as we keep power, ours is!!!

Looking for Fall Colors

Dec7

Found a rainbow!

I was walking with my grandson, taking photos and then we came around the pond and we saw this gorgeous rainbow. Of course my granddaughter was in school and wanted to see it too.

I’m off to continue proofing Wolf on the Prowl. A little over halfway done. 🙂

Have a rainbow of a day!

Love Rainbows

Apr25

I’m always glad when I have my camera when I see one. This was at the Wilderness Lodge geyser.

So last night was wild. Little one had been sick the night before and that morning, so she was just lying on the couch, not wanting to eat or anything when my SIL dropped her off. She didn’t want to take a bath. A friend had given me her granddaughter’s rubber duckies that she was too old for and so I brought out 3 she hadn’t seen before and that enticed her to take a bath. Then next was story time, only my son called from Japan and she fell asleep in my arms.

They went to a Japanese restaurant and the menus were all in Japanese, but luckily, he still could read them from having taken Japanese in college. lol So everyone wants him to go with them when they eat out.

So my SIL is coming over for dinner tonight, and I’m keeping my granddaughter for another night. Last night, she joined me in bed at 2:30, and then I couldn’t sleep. Luckily, my coughing didn’t wake her. But I plan for both of us to take a nap.

I made it to 16k on the story yesterday, forget I had thought of the woman having twin boys, which could create more conflict, but it’s a Christmas story, so that might not work, if I had that she lost her mate, or she’s raising her nephews because their parents are gone. Though what about all the children’s stories like that???

With having little one overnight last night, lack of sleep, and my routine was all messed up, totally forgot to blog. lol

Have a great day!!!

Double Rainbow

Sep13

The rainbow was so big I couldn’t capture the whole thing. And off to the right, you can see another rainbow on top of it. We rarely get rainbows, so when I peeked out the door to see if we had a lot of rain or not, I saw the rainbows. Grilled cheese was cooking on top of the stove, totally forgot about it while I grabbed my camera and ran out to take shots of the rainbow. There are more important things to do in life, you know.

Luckily, I rescued my grilled cheese sandwich before it was blackened.

I passed my no-hair portrait review! I’m still working on a couple of more, but I’m off to do short hair, and I’m watching medium fur dog lessons. I’ve been an epic fail on fur so far, part of the problem being that the dogs I have to work on have a mix of fur, so I’m going to watch all the videos from short to long fur, get the brushes and then work on some more dogs.

But in the meantime, I’m 3,000 words behind on Tangling with the Wolf because of working on edits on Wolff Bros 2. It’s off to the editor and now I’m up to 7,000 on Tangling. 13K to go. So nearly halfway. Love writing novellas!

Have a super great day!!!

Sunrise and Stormclouds

May7

A rainbow appeared and a ladybug landed on my chair when I first started taking pictures from my hotel room patio. Sunrise, rainbow, and storm clouds made for the perfect setting over the ocean.

I turned in Wolff Bros, and now just need to finish up White Wolf to the Rescue so I can jump back on Billionaire She-Wolf.

Have a great one!!!!

Autographed at Barnes & Noble, Honolulu!

May3

One of my lovely fans drove me to the mall in Honolulu and I signed books there, met another fan who works there and gave them some small gifts as a thanks for loving my books. It was so much fun, shopped at the mall, had dinner. But earlier, I went through the zoo and aquarium and took 1200 pictures that I will share eventually. These were just phone shots.

So first, a gorgeous rainbow appeared to say good morning, and then a ladybug landed on me and moved to the ribbing on the chair next to me to say the same. A lovely start to a lovely day.

Hope your day is going great. The wedding rehearsal is in a bit, have to move to another hotel, and then wait until my room is ready, so that will take some time. But hopefully, everything will be great!!

Beautiful Memories and a Rainbow Welcome Home!

Jul16

The double and single rainbows were in the clouds when I was in the airplane, descending into the Houston airport. The mirrored curved wall was the coolest artwork in a very strange field of art sculptures. And  Tasha is the black bear, 3 years old, playing in the pond.

The fun thing about the trip was that I took thousands of pictures and all are beautiful, fun, interesting, and funny memories that I can look back on for years. In the meantime, I managed to type up more of the story after writing for 5 hours while waiting to board the plane and while flying to Houston. I only paused to take some cloud and rainbow pictures. I ended up with 19,000, which is 5,000 over my word goal!

But, my gardens need major weeding. At 95 degrees, it’s just sooooo hot. I did take some zinnia pictures this morning, and I’m still downloading all the pictures I took on the trip. I still need to unpack more, but have to get my word count too. The puppies have been playing all morning. They’re happy I’m home, though they loved being at my daughter and SIL’s home with the baby and the corgis.

Off to work… Have a super, memory-filled day!

I Meant to Do That

Apr20

 

Pine tree and clouds reflected in the pond.

I wanted to take some pictures of the pine saplings that have sprouted from seeds in my yard to show their progress. They’re supposed to grow 2 feet a year! If you consider these sprouted from seeds, I believe it! The big ones I have are old forest, so in my small way, I’m adding back to the old forest that they cut down. In the one picture, that shows the old forest reflected in one of the ponds, and just how tall they get. I’ll be potting some for my daughter because they are all over the flowerbeds and some I’ve had to transplant to places where they can be allowed to grow. 🙂 <3 I just have to dig really deep to ensure I don’t cut off their tap root.

But do you see the rainbow captured in the rain drop on the one picture of the loblolly pine? I meant to do that. Right. I couldn’t believe it when I uploaded the picture and saw that the way the sunlight hit the water drop, it created a rainbow in miniature. Now how cool is that?

Baby is sick!! Poor thing. Now she has strep throat so she’s home with her momma and that means I’ll be pulling more weeds out of the grass in the backyard–some of the grass is fine, some of it is more weed than grass, and working on the story. 23,000 done, 57,000 to go!

Save a tree! Plant some more! Give a little bit back to wildlife.

In Fantasy or Fiction…

Mar1

We create worlds.

In the one picture I took in Scotland, I was on the bus in Edinburgh, and we saw a beautiful rainbow. But the setting wasn’t beautiful, cluttered with buildings and stuff. So I created a fictional world–from a photo I’d taken from a castle on the Isle of Skye. The scenes were both fantastical, as if being dropped into a fairy world, yet both are real. I’m sure the passengers thought my friend and I were nuts as we took as many pictures of the rainbow as we could capture while the bus kept moving along.

In the one I took of the cardinal, he was looking into the water as if peering at his reflection. But, what if–and that’s the start of a story. What if he sees himself as a hawk. Or he wishes he were a bird of prey. Or what if he realizes the hawk is above, his reflection in the water? That’s what makes creating stories from reality into fiction, or fantasy, fun. The cardinal was really at a birding stand at the cabins where we did our writer’s retreat, staring into the water. I edited the book I had to edit while there, but I also took advantage of photographing as much as could. 🙂 <3

The cooper hawk was sitting on my fence. I included an awful picture of a blurred version of the cooper hawk when he was on a different fence section and was getting ready to take off. I wouldn’t have shown it on here, but I posted it on FB to show the wing span, and one of my readers said it was a shifting hawk! There you have it! My shapeshifters shift so fast, they are a blur of forms. I love my readers. 🙂 She turned my poor photo into fantasy, and now, you know what that means? Anyone who sees a creature shifting is in trouble.

I really, really need to run errands today. I hate running them because it messes up my writing routine, then I’m struggling to get it done. If I don’t go early, though, I’ve begun to write, and then…yep, no errands. My car registration came in and I have to get a safety inspection before I can register it, so….no putting it off. That’s the mundane of life. I’d rather be photographing, creating bears, creating composites, gardening, and writing. Oh, and I did get about 60 gals of branches cut and weeds pulled yesterday. Then I moved a rock, it was starting to get too dark to work, and found a snake. Yes, it was a garden snake, but that decided it. No more gardening for the night!

Have a super, lovely day!!

Terry
