And keeping with my effort to take and share more photos, here are a couple I took a few days before the end of the year last year at Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg, Florida. (I think it was December 28th or so that these were taken but I only just got around to sorting…

Lions and Tigers and…Guinea Fowl?
Two things I’ve been slacking about by the end of 2013 were updating my blog and not only taking, but editing and sharing some of my photography. Photography is a real passion of mine and I haven’t really been giving it a lot of time in general. Even when I DO take photos, rarely do…
2014
2013 went out with a whoosh as it flew past me and my intentions of posting more frequently in the blog. The second half of November and all of December became unbelievably busy and there was simply no free time available for updating, despite the fact I really did intend to many times. So here’s…

Sick
So Love’s been sick since last week with a miserable cold. He missed work Friday, got sent home Monday, and Tuesday went to the doctor for meds. He’s been coughing violently and like mad for days and days and neither of us got any sleep the entire time because he’d wake up coughing every 15…
Ginger In the Box
Here’s Ginger when she first came here back in May. She was about 7 weeks old. And here she is the other day at 6 months old. Same box. I love that I didn’t even have to do anything. Just saw the box sitting in the back room, plopped it on the ground in front…
Pine Mountain Georgia
Here’s a little look at a few images from our 15th anniversary mini-trip to Pine Mountain, Georgia. We got there Friday evening and left Sunday around lunch so it wasn’t nearly enough time. Still, it was great to get away – even for a couple days! Anyway, just a few pics to show off how…
15 years
15 years ago, 1998, I was friends with this guy from work. He had started a couple months before and made no secret he was interested in me. We had gone out on a few casual dates and I was kinda starting to like him. Then Hurricane Georges was heading for Florida. It was originally…
What’s New Pussycat?
Yeah so apparently I forgot to update after Ginger’s surgery. It went excellent. She was more cranky about having to stay in the crate for two days than anything. (She wasn’t supposed to run/jump/climb for AT LEAST two days and she was ready to be all over the place practically the moment she came home!)…

More Kitten Cuteness
There’s no such thing as too many pics of an adorable kitten. So have two more of little Ginger. My computer desk is next to a window. I have a curtain up blocking most of it because the sun comes in through that window in the mornings and makes things very bright. But I leave…
Daily Dose of Cute
No time for a real entry, but I’m bribing you into not being mad with a kitten photo. Because kittens are adorable and I’m totally using Ginger’s cuteness to distract you from the lack of actual updates or content. Everyone with me now…. “aw….” 😉
Limited Edition Summer Collection of Fantasy and SciFi Full Moon Trees
I work so much in the realistic, I decided instead to make a collection of whimsical, Sci Fi / Fantasy-inspired full moon trees instead. I wanted pieces that were dream-like, or could be found on another planet, or maybe in some deep corner of Faerie. All of them use bright, bold, vivid colors. The aqua…
And So It’s June
Goodness, I’ve been trying to get around to writing an entry for like a week now and it just hasn’t happened! I can’t believe how long it keeps winding up in between entries lately! So please excuse the brain dump of topics this entry will likely cover as a result. Cold So my cold/flu/plague which…
