I’ve unintentionally taken awhile to write another entry again. I keep meaning to write up an entry because there’s been things to talk about, but I just keep finding myself without the time to do it. So this will be a bit of a hodgepodge catch-up of a few events of the recent week or…

Mother’s Day 2013
Sunday, Love and I went up to Mom’s house to have a family lunch as a combination Mother’s Day/My birthday. My sister, her husband, my Nanny and my Aunt were all there too. Since my birthday is on a Thursday (the 16th) and we were all getting together the Sunday before my birthday for Mother’s…
King of the Jungle
Today was an unseasonably beautiful day with temps in the mid-70’s. (It’s normally well into the mid-80’s by now with feels-like temps into the 90’s.) And, having worked my butt off getting 8 orders made on Sunday, packed and shipped today (hopefully) in time for Mother’s Day, I rewarded myself with an afternoon romp around…
Win a Opalite Moonstone Full Moon Tree
I’m so honored to report I’ve reached 1,000 sales in my etsy shop!! Thank you to everyone who’s supported me in reaching this milestone. It amazes me to see how far I’ve come in the year and a half since my surgery and the hardest experience of my life. Just goes to show that good…

I’m very excited to announce that a selection of PhoenixFire Designs tree of life and bird nest pendants are available for purchase at The Wellness Center in Key West Plaza in Palm Harbor! Co-owned by a dear friend of mine, Shelly Moye, LMT & CLT, The Wellness Center offers a range of amazing health and…
Happy Birthday Mika
Today we celebrate my tabby cat Mika’s adoption day as her birthday. Mika was adopted ten years ago and is now approximately 13 years old. Happy Birthday to my tabby girl and wishes for many more!
Your Daily Cat
Ok, not literally daily but I do find myself taking a lot of pics of my girls. First, because they’re always around. LOL And second, because dammit, I think they’re adorable. Plus, cats are a great way to practice photography because they move a lot, they’re quick, you have to really get a good lock…
Flower and Garden Festival
Saturday, Love and I spent a few hours at Epcot for the Flower and Garden Festival. I didn’t get as many pics as I wanted so we’ll have to go back, but here’s a few. It threatened to rain all afternoon but never did. Though it was partly cloudy most of the afternoon. The whole…
In Like A Lion
…out like a meerkat. Or something like that anyway. Here’s a few animal photos I took this afternoon at Busch Gardens. As usual, click any image for larger! It’s so much fun to be able to run to a park for an hour and get to photograph amazing subjects like this. It’s one of the…
Where Did February Go?
Here we are and it’s already March. And I realize my intentions to actually sit down and write out a blog entry in my oh-so-neglected blog last month not only never came to pass, but I didn’t even come close. Handful of photo posts….and that’s about it. Sheesh. Just seems like I’ve been so busy…
10,000 Pics
I just plugged my memory card for my DSLR into my computer to grab some jewelry photos off the card to edit and post. When I did, I was greeted by not the normal single folder, but two. And when I looked at the contents, I noticed that the reason for two is that I…
Boston Bruins at Tampa Bay Lightning
Love’s birthday was Monday, February 18th. (And yes, this year it WAS on President’s Day!) His favorite NHL team is the Boston Bruins. They were coming here to Tampa only once this season and that game was Thursday, February 21st. So I got him tickets to the game as his birthday present. Here’s a few…
Barenaked…in Busch Gardens
Barenaked Ladies played the “Bands, Brew and BBQ” event at Busch Gardens Tampa on Sunday, February 17th and I was lucky enough to get to go see them! I’ve been a fan of Barenaked Ladies (BNL) for years now. I first got to see them open for one of my all-time favorite singers, Sarah McLachlan,…
Kitties!
Because the internet is powered by cats. And because my girls make awesome photography subjects. Click either image for larger. – Both were taken with my Canon “Nifty Fifty” (50mm f/1.8) lens. I find it takes awesome cat photos with very crisp detail. I’m sure Canon didn’t develop the lens specifically in mind for cat…
Cats Are Always Cats
What’s so amusing about cats is that, big or small, cats are all so very similar. You can see the same kinds of actions in big cats that you do your little household pet. (Just on a much larger scale! LOL) For example, one of the tigers at Animal Kingdom was cranky because her dinner…
