It was a three ring circus getting these

three cats to smile and say cheese!

It's Awww Monday Once Again! December 21, 2015

Happy Happy Holidays!

Sometimes little things

become big problems.....

 

My Point of View  December 16, 2015

 

Every year I get a skin cancer screening...

this year I thought I had a tiny problem that turned out to be more than that. I'll be

fine, but it will take time for everything

to heal. Thank goodness I go in every year!

So, make sure you do too!

 

 

Sunday Shadow Shot for December 20, 2015

 

Doesn't this shadow look like geese flying?

Have a great day! And be sure to

check out Six Words and Sunday Shadows!

Cheers!

Time for Feline Friday! December 18, 2015

 

Every library should have at least one cat....

 

 

If not two cats!

 

I would like to thank all the kind and

generous people who donated to our

Weed library after the Boles Fire happened

a little over a year ago. We are now in a

new space that we hope will become

our permanent Weed Library!

We could have not done this without all the

help from so many communities.

So thanks to all- you know who you are!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year !

P.S. The cute cats are not our Library cats-

I got these cute photos off the internet.  

~~~

We have Steve of BFDude to thank for

Feline Friday- he started it to prove he

truly loves cats! Thanks Steve!

Kayaking on Sauvies Island, Oregon

 

Years ago I went back to school

and finally got my BFA in Photography.

I took two things I loved to do- kayaking and photography and based my thesis on water.

Here is just one of many images created

during that time.

Magpie Tales #296 Grocery Shopping

Joachim Buecklaer   1560

 

There once was a lass named Daisy

Whose memory was rather lazy

"Tis best to have a list

Than get home with something missed"

Returning to the market would be crazy.

Low water in this creek.

Last Friday we took a hike

detouring around newly fallen snow.
Instead of going to Castle Lake we took
an old logging road and I took a few photos.

I enjoy participating in Six Words and
Sunday Shadow Shots.
Enjoy your day where ever you are!
