"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to a new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same."

This end result began its life as a photograph of a stained glass fish. I just kept playing with it....

Saw this stray cat following us in Utah in Blandin, Utah.

Saw this guy. Hopped on my hands and knees to get a good perspective. Fired off a 20 shots for a stack. Got home and realised the friend in the left of shot. Did not know how I missed this when shooting.

If you've ever watched the film "Black Sheep" I'm sure you'll understand... ;)

I put out a hanging flower pot in the back deck and today I quickly snapped these guys (one in the bottom could be a young male or female). Tomorrow I will try to take my time and ensure my exposure etc are set right, so I can avoid the grain (below) and darkness (above) ..

Thanks to my friend Janet (aka Dark Spinner) for her continous encouragements in my photography in general (also for those helpful hummingbird tips). I told you I'll have some hummingbird for you later.

Former Burlington Northern SD45 6532 was built by EMD in 1971 and made its way to the Susquehanna and ran amuck around the Northeast for many years.

It was repainted in 2026 for the 250th anniversary of the USA and made an appearance in Deepest Dixie for the big shindig in Spencer.

Having photographed the 3634 back in the 1980s and 1990s on the Susquehanna, D&H and CSX, this 20-cylinder monster was like seeing an old friend.

If I could have One thing back,that was lost,It would be my Siamese Cat"Sushi.

Early morning greets the tree that, because of its shape and location, I consider my friend. It has featured in many a shot I took.

"My best friend left three days ago. The only 2 things I have changed are my mind and my hair. Do you know what it feels like to miss someone? It feels like when you have some catnip and then you don't have any catnip. Yep, it hurts that much."

When your best friend is a fish

And grants everything you wish

So you ask for a blue guitar

And a friendly shooting star

And your fish gets it wrong

And brings it to you in song

Singing, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Tinkle

Mary ate a periwinkle"

And then you no longer bother

Because fish can't hear underwater

When a person says, "Hamburger"

A fish just hears "Booger"

And I don't want a booger,

ever.

Everybody Needs a Friend.

TiaMaria had a visit today from one of our best friends. Tia is valiantly fighting grade 2 mast cell cancer, and at the moment is doing well. This friend and former neighbor has been part of Tia's life from the start, when she helped transport Tia back, still drowsy, from being spayed by her rescue group; since then, Tia's friend has always been there to help us with transport and through recovery periods after the many visits to the vet. The power of friendship is infinite.

I will be uploading many photos of this beautiful little girl in the coming days, as I go through them. I really loved this one as Savannah refused to go to the park without her stuffed animal :)
