Bad Boy Wasp, Sun through the Leaves, House, The All Knowing Eye and Sandbox


Went out try and photograph 
the Ruby Red and he just
don't play pretty. 
So, I don't have a good one yet.
But I did get this bad boy.


Love shooting through the 
trees!

After cutting the yard on Friday, 
my son in law came over
later and did my weed eating.
I walked to the mailbox and decided
to get a shot of the house.

Kind of hard to grow green 
grass in a drought.
I said that to Cory and he just
laughs reminding me that
he lives in Calif. and 
they have a 
DROUGHT!



I love my place.

Hey Liz, I saw this
eye on FB on a pair of jeans!
Guessing this is the yr of the EYE!

Remember me showing you 
a pic of the sandbox I had on 
my desk, decorated for 
Christmas? Somewhere 
among my thousand of pics are
more but this is what
I could locate now.

4th of July




My sandbox started as a simple
glass tray, with white fine sand in
it, rocks and a couple of rakes.
When I moved from printing to photo 
services I did not wrap the sandbox
well enough and it got broken.
I finally found this cute 
ceramic tray in a basket that 
I thought would work well.
I then used some real sand with 
the rocks and rakes. It was cute but
then I started decorating it for 
seasons, holidays and 
events. 

One time I got my nieces
 barbie plates and stuff and 
had a picnic on the beach for
summertime.
Another I had a sailboat with a 
sign that said, "gone cruising" for
when I went on a cruise. 

It was fun with customers would
play in the sandbox. One made
rapture tracks in the sand and a 
sign that stated what it was.
My boss started bringing things
from trips to put in the box.
A remote control tank that
caused a lot of issues with
Phil (youngest photographer),
and the sand on my desk.
But one day playing around
Phil poured water in the sandbox...
it took over a week to dry out. 

We used to have a blast with the 
sandbox. I dumped it and tossed
it all when I left there.

The sandbox sounds fun. But I suppose you don't have a use for it in your home. Great shot of your house.

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Birds in the Yard

Image
 Hello friends. This morning Dakota and I sat out on the deck, it was a nice 71 cool degrees after a night of storms and rain. The birds were singing and flying around and it was so peaceful. In the pic above I am standing on the deck looking into my Crepe Myrtle at the bird house I hung a couple months ago. I had been sitting there listening to this one bird that I was not sure what it was and was not sure where it was coming from. Then I saw her, on the branch next to the bird house and she was loud! She would speak out and another bird, same talk as her would speak up from in the trees on the creek. I then realized where that noise was coming from....her and him. Then I realized why. She flew from branch to branch checking things out before flying onto the bird house. And then I realized I heard babies too. I watched him and her do this for a long time. Such a pleasure. Here is mom. Waiting, looking and c...

True Story Tuesday - The Temper

Image
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago… I had a temper! A bad one. It’s funny to think about now and to tell people since I am so not like I was back then. Now, I pretty much let things roll off my back. I get upset, I get ticked but I don’t blow like I use to. I use to say I was like a volcano, I let things build, and build then I blew… and it was not pretty either. There were doors that were ripped off the hinges because my child locked a door on me, there were holes put in the wall by my fist because I rather patch that then hit someone. I threw knifes (and not in the circus), I picked up kitchen chairs and threw them, phones ….just what ever was there that was handy. I also let other people decide my mood. Someone would pick at me, say something I did not like and I felt I had to have to last word ( I come by the last word thing honestly)…now I just figure its not worth it and I walk away. The question is, how did I change it all. I would like to say I grew up but the change actua...
