"Once you had put the pieces back together, even though you may look intact, you were never quite the same as you'd been before the fall."

Just sitting around, poor me!

On another note, some of the old episodes of 'Gunsmoke' are airing again. I just adore Amanda Blake (Miss Kitty). Her clothes, makeup and beauty always made me want to emulate her. However, I could never say that out loud back in the 60's.

James S. had a hunting camp in Spring Lake, NC, which he deeded to the Nature Conservancy.. Little has been done to the buildings since his death in 2004. It was barren , dark and musty inside, but the beauty of the heartwood longleaf pine still glowed.

I think i slid every option available in iPhotos to try to release some of that beauty lurking in the dark image.

One of the local parks has a hedge of Japanese barberries which looks quite striking when the berries are red and ripe. Background texture from Topaz Studio 2.

Thank you for your views and comments, much appreciated! Have a great day!

The Fiorelli Coppi out for a few days at work. Fast wheels, rolling slower than they want to.

IM SOFTBALL FALL 2017

Always stay well back from rushing water in Yosemite, and do not swim or even wade in any pool above a waterfall. Be very careful around wet rocks. Over the years, quite a few people have been swept over waterfalls in Yosemite.

Hanging on to the last signs of autumn

There was an article in the newspaper the other day about the garden center I go to, and how cool-weather favorite pansies often survive the area’s winter temperatures. I planted these in the railing planter that my squirrel friends like to dig up – let’s see if the pansies survive either ;-)

Jasmine and I love Autumn~

I just joined YouTube and posted a super short video of Jasmine there, if you want to see:

Sorry for my lack of updates.

I'm working hard on my new blog! :)

But from this week, I have to work on my internship report too, so I'm pretty busy.

Leaves.....

Water......

And fortunately not me for once!

These are for Katya...
