A test...maybe an orange iris...

This is only a test... If it were easy I would have posted weeks ago with my new iPad, but it is not. The words were not the problem, but uploading pics was and might still be. And considering the title of my blog - pics are a must. So, I'll publish this and see what I get - it is a crap shoot really, because I can't see the pic I attached to this post - it should be a beautiful orange iris..

Coffee makes me happy...

April showers bring May flowers, 

but coffee makes me happy...

One gate. Red gate...

One gate... 

    Red gate...

Two gate...

Blue gate...

 I am drawn into the foyer of a front yard. 

A private entrace into the house.
A space to greet friends.
A place to remove shoes.
An outdoor room to revel in a summer nite.



A small book...

     

     

Paper rolls, sections of ribbon, and a piece of twine...



Immagination, scraps of paper, and a little time...

  

Leaves you with a small book of magical travel vignettes.

Where's the post?

Where's the post been? In my dreams. A lack of dreamless sleep leads to a lack of creative thoughts. I am awake with Newton. Poor Newton. He was given his third strike last week (urinary blockage). After having surgery to remove the last external male attribute he had - he is restless. He seems more concerned about the shaved area on his front leg and his rear paw. I thought he would be looking for his lost member. Nope. I take the cone off so he can eat and do a little self-cleaning (above the waist). He goes after his leg and paw with vigor - to me he seems agitated as if he was given a bad haircut. He is a handsome cat - so everyone tells him. I think it went to his head. No worries Newton - the hair will grow back.

Meet Einstein...

Is there such thing as a cat model? Meet Einstein. Not only is he photogenic, he poses for the camera. I hold the camera to take a shot and I swear he cocks he head to one side as if to say - "I'm ready for my close up".

It is Spring...

 

   Beatiful tulip-like flowers, growing like groundcover.

  Delicate white blossoms falling like snow.

 Trees and bushes awash in a color.

The daytime temperatures have been in the 70s.

The air is warm and clear.  

Everywhere I go there is a splash of color.

I think to myself, it is Spring.
