Just came across these. Lots of nice finds. I like the clarity as well as the texture of this one at least as well as the others.

Thanks. Just sent them to my da. He never paid much attention when I painted or threw clay, but the photography got him thinking. There might be a dslr in my future yet.

Wow what a sight for a cold night! You've got the whole tropical thing going on here. When was this one taken?

(Never noticed how light your hair is before.)

Just this past weekend. Working on the rest now. My hair is a weird auburn brown with copper lights in the summer. Just laying on the tanning bed a couple times brought out some lighter caramel pieces in the front. Freaked me out - I thought I was starting to go gray.

You wanna talk about cold night - I was a mess that day because of the epic wind whipping through DC. It wasn't that cold if the wind was down, but god DAMN when it kicked up, it felt like the sigh of a frost giant. Awful weather.

Here's a photo of my youngest, Heidi Rose, taken during low tide in San Francisco bay. She's a two year old Texas Heeler, an Aussie X Heeler cross.



If you'd like to see what she looks like in action running with other dogs I took this video of her running here the same day. It is such a joy for me to watch her play like this. The slow moving silver and white Aussie walking around in a more stately manner is my old boy, Fletcher.

Oh alright, here's one of me. Fat, old and not very photogenic. Expect to see many more of the dogs than of me.

You are like a princess.

I like your green hat

That hat is one head of a succulent called an Aeonium. This one gets big. The stalks can be as tall as I am. It is sort of Carmen Miranda-ish, isn't it?
