Kasany, she is her own unique personality. She is very loving and spends hours with Judy, my friend with dementia. I think on some level she understands.

Thank you, Christina! I love the deer and watch them every chance I get. I love walking up on them in the woods. They sometimes run away and sometimes become very cautious and alert but allow me to photograph them. I find great pleasure in revisiting my photos. Memories like these are priceless.

A = aqua

I'm in! Thank you, Carole!

Thank you, Julie! I wish you had your lens also!

Chantahlia Designs, template 334. Plumbago is a tropical flower and my favorite. Remember, each time I see a "new" flower, it is my favorite. These photos were taken in Ft. Myers, FL in 2006.

Template from Lab 14-04. Texas Roadhouse would not seat us until our full party had arrived. The waiting room was frigid so we waited across from the register. Didn't take us long to look for michief. The birthday saddle provided distraction while we waited.
