Susan Ewart Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) Week 26 Half way there and I'm still going. Nice to be almost caught up. the background is from Riley B Graphics at Creative Fabrica, along with the fonts Aesthetic Violet Slant and Aesthetic Pattern Sans. Changed the magnet out for a button. Not sure I'll keep doing the button, but it was what I wanted to do for the next 13 weeks. I had to go really thick on the face of the button or it cut the '7' off and looked weird. Also I made it huge so I had to take a chance on doubling or tripling the settings from the video. It's really good practice though to do a button, so I might do them even if they arent great to look at and they are white on a white playing card. Plus the cards themselves were so uneven on the actual deck. Edited July 2 by Susan Ewart 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barn swallows are so cool aren't they. When the horses would stir up insects in the long grasses , the barn swallows would be out with their fantastic flying feats, just like little fighter jets. LOVE the ground squirrel. Such an opportunist. Gave me a good laugh. That must be so fun to watch their antics. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the ground squirrels, they never cease to make me laugh. Mind you they weren't amuzed to have jam on their faces and feet. They would rub their faces in the grass to get it off, then lick the jam of the blades of grass, once they had washed themselves. I decided to place a spoonful of jam on top of the jar for them. Such great enterainment all around, when one is prepared to look for it. Plus it is free. Edited July 3 by Sue Thomas 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrie Kinkel Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 @ Sue Thomas Your photos for the weeks of June are spectacular and some made me laugh! Your love of nature is so apparent in this photos, even more then in a layout because here it is all about the animal in the photo! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta ask? is that the tongue sticking out or a berry. Because if that the tongue, I might just lose it...😅🤣😂 PS why does tongue have to be spelled so weird...tung would be so much better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan, it is the tongue, just prior to lapping up a mouthful of jam. They are hilariously entertaining. Unfortunately, as much as I'd love to post far more shots, the campus isn't a photographic site, plus resizing down is time consuming. You will have to wait for when I create layouts, where I can add multiple photos. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only about the subject, but also the photographer.The fox cub is one of three out in the crop. I have photos of them playing while mum sits and watches over them. As for the ground squirrels, I wish I could tell them apart but I can't. Choosing a weekly photo is difficult, it would be easier to post them all if it was possible.

On June 25th, the rescue came, and we managed to trap 4 of my outside cats so they could be vet checked, neutered and vaccinated. Among them was the young, female tortoiseshell I call Brandy. I had hoped to get her as she is too thin and young to be out on her own. When the rescue evaluated her, they decided to put her in foster care as she seems to be a good candidate to become a house-pet. The other 3 (all males) were returned to me on June 27th and when released scattered to the far winds! Hopefully, I opened the door early the following morning, to see if any of the returned crew would show up for breakfast. And there was the big black male I called Batman and also little female tortoiseshell Brandy! Say, what?? Did she escape? Turns out, Brandy has a doppelganger... Truly identical twin... I may have been feeding both all along and not realized there were two!! Actually, I am really pleased as I was fond of Brandy and don't feel like I've lost her to foster. Her sister is a very good replacement. We won't be trapping again for a while based on 1) not triggering the cats so soon after the last go round and 2) the vet is at the local Animal Rights Alliance (T.A.R.A.) and will only take 6 at a time and we have to get in line for appointments. My feature this week is Brandy - Number 2. Oh, she's a pretty one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(that's is for rhyming Sunday) Can you believe I even found a gradient that mimics the cup. I've always liked this cup, it's a keeper. I used the slipped in effect. I sure like it. Carole, how do you come up with this stuff? I hope you keep it up. And I also used a texture on it, and the frame outline and the 2024 text. Those slipped-in corners look really good. When I tried using that script I didn't get such a good result. Love the colours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was last week and now they're all gone for the summer. I sent them all on to you Ann. So we here in Ontario would have some clean walkways at the waterfront!😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
