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.

Photos from 2011. Template 121 by Lady 22.

I went all the way back to 2016 for these photos. Template 198, Lady 22. Font = Meows. Metal paw print by Sheila Reed; brown cat by Marisa Lerin, pet 001.

Template 295 by Chantahliadesign. Recent walks in the woods have yielded encounters with deer. I'm never too close to them. I use a 200mm lens. Word art from Creative Fabricia.

Nothing fancy here. Cutout photo, textured paper, suggested font. The graphic at the top was taken from a Creative Fabrica graphic. Love "my" deer.

Y = Yellow algae Not a very pleasant thought. Occurs when there are not enough sanitizers in the water.

W = water

Hi, Brooktim! Welcome!

O = oval

K = kidney shaped pool

F = float

D = diving board

A = above ground pool

When I was growing up a birthday party meant Mom baked a cake and my Grandmother, aunt and uncles would come over for a meal. There were gifts but nothing extravagant. When I was a teen some had birthday parties and invited their friends...still no themes...just games and cake and ice cream.

N = night phlox

I seem to have Dogwoods on the mind lately. 🙂

I also like this QP. I have a script to create this effect. I forget to use it. 😞
