"It’s beginning to look a lot like Catmas"

You've already put on my hat. But I don't want to help you with the scissors because that thing is too dangerous for my little paws. I only want to help with hanging nice things in the tree.

Please may I?

Of course sweet Beethoven, how can I resist you?

Corporal season has long since wrapped around here but there still may be a few flying in the mountains. This is a male Blue corporal @ Gibbs Gardens earlier this month - showing off his wings. Lots of places are suddenly hot for dragonflies - as we're teetering around 90o this week. Get out there and have fun!

There is always a little something that draws you to a picture and for me it is Asha's paw on her ball...lol

Rolling around at the Shop and Hop, picking up freebies and taking advantage of sales.

What does it take to understand that guns kill? Why do we insist upon having guns? Can we think, instead of being governed by fear?

Violence only adds to more violence. Start with eliminating poverty and creating more equality thereby eliminating squalor, indignity, hunger, death and desperation. Try a little love, it goes a long way and does not create violence! History repeats itself, violence has never been and never will be the solution, helping one another in a peaceful way does make a difference, the damage has been done, so it won't be easy but it is better than violence.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜

It's Teddy Bear Tuesday..

This is a juvenile Baltimore Oriole. One of many present in my sister-in-law's yard in Wisconsin.

Loved this area of the Lake District. It's a great path around a very pretty lake. Decided to make this shot a panorama as the cropped worked better for me.

Two pelicans just minding their own business floating on the water, in come two dolphins and just keep swimming underneath the pelicans, the pelicans move by flying to another part of the water and you have got it the dolphins follow, this went on for quite a while.

How lovely to find on our recent visit that darling Daisy still lives with the family who own Gilbert's Dahlia Field, and is now 14 years old.

My photo of her aged 7 in the comments box.

thank you for all your visits, faves and comments

For once I met someone

as clumsy as me.

I am always falling..

Tripping even.

But I was too clumsy this time

and so were you.

You stumbled over my past,

And I fumbled into your mind.

You stepped into my soul

And I slipped into your life.

You tripped over my presence,

And we collapsed

into each others' hearts.

I'm glad you're as clumsy as me.

... ensure everything in your frame is acceptably sharp?

Do you focus to infinity? Do you focus on the bottom third of the frame? Or do you have a cheat-sheet with a list of hyperfocal distances based on the effective focal length and aperture?

Mind sharing with me?
