high praise indeed

just thinking of all the compliments this sun worshiping orchid got in the store…

i love blue

i think i’m going to start a collection of blue glass. i love, love, love it empty or not. i found these at Leaf & Petal in Mountain Brook Village, Alabama.

what my garden gave me today

truthfully, the roses are from whole foods. i do have roses like the ones i’ve photographed, but the bush gives me about two a day. the strawberries? i picked from my gardens & ate them after taking their picture. the blue hydrangea is HUGE & will give me flowers for weeks & weeks.

Vermont bridge in winter

strange to be posting a snow picture in the Alabama heat. but i’m working on editing all my Vermont pictures to show anyone who cares to look, where i come from. & where my heart aches to be. Every. Day. Of. My. Alabama. Life…

Husky attacks the smaller husky

Nala loves stuffed animals, she steals everyone’s stuffed animals. i have a stuffed black rat on my couch in the art room. she has stolen the rat at least once a week. she is forgiven because she is so beautiful.

living art

Hobbes looks beautiful now matter where i happen to find him

black cat hides in plain sight

she can be seen very well in this image, but i didn’t know she was in my chair until i tried to sit down. This is Ivy.

sunlight streams through coal ash

my neighbor used a blower to clean out his grill & it looked like a dragon exhaled. the ash traveled into our backyard. it was pretty darn cool.
