The Trees Reach to the Heavens Here

At night I notice this especially. The trees are soooo tall. Nothing like in Central Texas. And I kept wanting to capture the leaves and branches against the sky.

trees silhouette 001 (427x640) (2) trees silhouette 003 (427x640)trees silhouette 004 (427x640) trees silhouette 002 (640x427)The farther west you get in Texas, the smaller the trees, like in Oklahoma. So to see these ancient trees standing in new home developments is really astounding. I hope they stand there for centuries longer.

Have a beautiful day!!!

Sunset: A Symphony of Colors

sunset (2) (427x640) sunset (3) (640x526)sunset (640x427)When I moved to my new home, no longer in the country, I was afraid I’d miss the birds, the sunsets and sunrises, just all the things I loved to capture in pictures. But I’m finding that they’re here too, and just as beautiful.

Have a great day!

Sunset and Bunny-Eaten Pear

It was a dark and stormy night, and then, there was a sunset!

sunset 007 (800x270)And a bunny-eaten pear. But the bunny better watch out, because I keep startling the hawk in my yard as it makes its hawk like call in annoyance and flies away. I startled the bunny out of its hiding place too, while taking the puppies out for their last potty trip.

Have a great day!!! I’m off to do something. 🙂

Fresh Fiction Review of A Silver Wolf Christmas by Annetta Sweetko:

http://freshfiction.com/review.php?id=56459

A SILVER WOLF CHRISTMAS is a rollercoaster romance with the perfect amount of suspense and humor. I laughed out loud when CJ had mispronounced Laurel’s last name (it is McTire but pronounced McTier) because I had actually done that myself. They are a good couple and I enjoyed watching as he brought out the playful side of the serious she-wolf. The number of mysteries and troubles that need to be solved in A SILVER WOLF CHRISTMAS just kept adding up. You have the ghost-busters crew, the “C” on the wall that paint didn’t cover, a ghost wolf, and of course the disappearance of the girls’ aunt and the past owners of the hotel. These mysteries all merge together seamlessly in this well-crafted story and it is all lightened up with the Christmas theme as they prepare for the holidays in the midst of the drama. I have read a number of books by author Terry Spear and this one is a winner that will be on my TRA shelf and I await her next offering.

Back to writing!!!

🙂 <3

Welcome to Christmas wolf shifter style! Spear creates an exciting and fun story that kept me on my toes while taking me deep into the world of her unforgettable characters. The underlying current of mystery had me trying to puzzle it out while also enjoying my foray into this wolfy world. She uses descriptions to advantage, developing characters you can picture & feel as if you know, and settings that come to life, but leaving room for your imagination to run wild in this fantastic world. Spear develops her concept of wolf shifters well. She really lets readers know what it means to be one, how the pack works, and other cultural details. – See more at: http://purejonel.blogspot.ca/2015/09/aSWC.html

A Conversation Between Sparrows & Morning Sunrise with the Sunflowers

birds, what do you think (640x427)See how they have a pleasant conversation before they chow down?

bires, lets eat (640x427)

And then there’s no time to talk.

Now it’s time to start the day.

I nearly missed this. Every morning, no beautiful sunrise, and this morning it was even more brilliant than this. Ran the puppies inside and ran back out with the camera, but the sunrise was already fading. Still, it was interesting with the sunflowers looking on, don’t you think?

Have a great one!

The lower layer of clouds had all turned pink, but as you can see, we still have a lot of massive storm clouds in the area.

We have heavy thunderstorms for the middle of the night and some tomorrow.

But I’m fine with it as long as the houses don’t get flooded. I know that it will eventually stop raining and we’ll be wishing we had some again!

Have a terrific Thursday!

Oh, and here is Max–I told him not to go outside while I was taking a video of the rain. Just like a little kid.

Daytona Beach, St Augustine and Sunsets

sunset St Augustine 500x375 resort at Daytona Beach 500x375 St Augustine sun setting

Had a blast. Loved the sunset, the pink clouds and the palm tree silhouette. I could have lightened up the picture of the buildings in the other photo, but they were under construction, so I thought the dark silhouette looked more intriguing.

And of course, Daytona Beach and the resorts. Loved it there. I have video of the ocean waves and bird songs. Will show off when I have time.

And here is one of the puppies before we went home. The lady who was taking the “picture,” didn’t realize it was on video. I didn’t either. LOL But as much as the puppies were moving about, it worked better as a video. However, at one point, I was frowning at her a bit, and that’s when she said it said it was busy, and I wasn’t sure why it would be busy. 🙂

Had a lovely time visiting with readers, bloggers and authors! And that morning before I was going to be in airports and on airplanes all day, I had the door open, listening to the ocean and the sea birds. That was the part I hated about leaving.

Now, when Spring Break descends on the area, I’ll be glad I don’t live anywhere near there!!!

Have a super, wonderful Wednesday!!!

And thanks to everyone who bought our Kissing the Highlander anthology!

Woohoo, Highlanders are well loved!

Sunsets and Max and the Christmas Tree

Sun Setting

Sun Setting

I was walking Max last night and saw this sight, ran back in the house with him, grabbed my camera and ran back out. Isn’t it great?

Sun Setting

Trees on Fire

Dark Descending

Christmas Tree Max

Christmas Tree Max

Okay, so Christmas is coming, ready or not. And I have to pick up Tanner today. He’s 3 months old. Max, pictured above, is 5 months old.  I have to say he’s very good about the tree. He pokes his nose at one of the balls every once in a while, but that’s it. I tried to take a picture of him closer to the tree, but he won’t sit long enough for the camera to focus on him for a picture. He comes to greet me instead. Can you tell he’s just about ready to move? So here, I had backed up yet again, told him to sit, and tried to take the shot. The first 3 were blurred Maxs. But he had been closer to the tree.

Tanner

Tanner

This is Tanner from last week when I picked up Max. He’s much smaller, though bigger than the puppies from the other litter. She had two litters both born on the same day. 🙂

So now I’ll be training two puppies instead of one, but hopefully, fingers crossed, if they both have each other to sleep with, Tanner won’t be fussing tonight. Max has been fine since the 4th night.

We’ll have to work Tanner into our routine. Hopefully he’ll love it too. We had our 2nd official car trip ride and Max was really good. But this time I took him into a pet shop to see other people and get used to being out a little. A lady approached who had two twin 4 year old girls. They were adorable and they were so good with Max and he was so good with them. The mother scared him though. And then two groomers came to see him, for business, of course, but it was a good experience for him. But before I got him out of his carrier at home, he threw up. So the 1st official car trip was fine. The 2nd one, he got sick again. Hopefully he’ll be all right on subsequent trips. I have a 3 hour drive coming up and want both dogs to love riding in the car.

When Tanner gets home, he’ll have another dog to play with. And my daughter and son-in-law are bringing Sir Rilo and Lady Luna, their corgis, for Christmas. Both are two years old, so Christmas is going to the dogs. 🙂 I’ll try to take lots of pictures.

I had to start writing blogs for the upcoming release of Jaguar Pride, and I’m behind on Phantom Fae (only by 3,000, though today I’m supposed to have another 2,000 also), though I keep waking and thinking about the end. I have 20,000 words left to write, so I am winding down to the end. 🙂

 

JaguarPride_041714_B

Do you have kids? Or, were you ever a kid with siblings? What order? Notice Max has lots of shots that are all just Max, because he’s the only puppy. But when Tanner comes home, what will happen? He’ll probably be in lots of shots with Max. Maybe not, but probably.

Doesn’t that happen with kids too? The firstborn has lots of pictures, then second and subsequent babies come along and all the pictures are of the toddler holding the baby, or looking at the baby, or two toddlers together, or…well, you get the picture. Second borns just don’t get the spotlight like firstborns.

So I was a firstborn. It’s all right by me. LOL What about you?

Okay, off to write another Jaguar Pride blog, the book is coming out Feb 7, and then back to Phantom Fae. Then it’s off to pick up Tanner. Have a super great Monday!

Renovating, Wildflowers, a Red Dragon Bear, and a Sunset

I made up this bear for an order and have enough fabric to make one more, but it’s also sold now. 🙂

All these renovations have taken place over the years. But it sure is nice getting them done.

Off to work on stuff.  I’m way behind on Phantom Fae. Too much distraction with the workmen here.  That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. 🙂

I think the kitchen has a much warmer appeal than it had before.  What do you think?

Have a super lovely Tuesday!!!
