Elizabeth has been happy to be back home with her daughter Tulley, for whom she purchased a wooden toy duck while in Munich, Germany. Also in the photo are Tulley's playmates, Kyle and Bonnie (children of friends "Booley" and Maddy). Where are their parents? Off enjoying their freedom from parenting now that "Aunt Stick" is back in town. ;)

Why do I have to go back to school?

This is the last straw, I'm throwing in the towel. I'm use to things not going my way, I was just born unlucky. But seriously.. like seriously? Some how all my photos on my iPhoto got deleted, all you photographers can imagine how upsetting this is. All those photos gone, that I didn't back-up yet. My wisdom teeth hurt. My school didn't receive my payment for my classes. And ugh soo many other things. I just give-up.

Take one day at a time, they say. Forget what they say, lets go back to yesterday.

Stopped at my favourite twin waterfall this afternoon and was drawn to these icicles hanging from a branch at the base of the smaller falls

They’re back again this year but last year’s nesting spot was destroyed by decay and winter weather. I don’t think I’ll ever have the opportunity I had last year to watch these beautiful woodpeckers in such an up-close and personal manner. The Red-headed woodpeckers visit the feeders and suet daily but not nearly with the same frequency as all of the other woodpeckers. I feel so lucky to have them in an area where they don’t generally nest. I believe this is the 4th year we’ve had them. #Redheadedwoodpeckers.

Time of plenty for the Honey Bees.

This is, in fact, a training ship passing by Hurst Castle near the Isle of Wight.

At the end of this week I will be moving back to Japan to teach English, which means that my dolls have to go into storage for the next year or so (actually breaks my heart). This time I'm going to Mobara, Chiba which I'm super happy about. I wanted a Chiba placement so bad!

Although my dolls are going into storage, I am planning to take Hayden and Shunsuke with me because I missed Hayden so badly last time I can't leave without him again.

For the next short while until I get settled and have internet again, there won't be any pictures. This is only temporary though! I love photographing my dolls more than anything.

Wish me luck! *crosses fingers* :D

Enjoying a pepper tree near the SLO Botanical Gardens this morning.

Lightning over our back lawn on the 17 Nov 2016.

Some great lightning bolts here but a bit of a boring silhouette of a Frangipani tree in the garden to go with it.

I FINALLY had time to groom Addie this week. It has been, drumroll please, over 2 months since her last full groom. I NEVER let her go that long! But I've been so busy it had to be pushed aside. But now, she's back to her beautiful self and we both love it : ) So even though this is not the most exciting shot, I wanted to showcase her trim!
