Our local Regional Park has some new little goslings and they are adorable! They’re perfect for Becky’s Squares challenge for April “Bright”. Lots of perkiness and brightness here!
This is for April Squares “Bright” at Beckyb of Winchester.
Continuing with January’s Squares, I found this adorable jump in my photo collection. When Layla was placed on this see-saw, I could see she was not having it. Luckily I had my camera at the ready to capture her lift-off!
Here’s the link to Becky’s Squares. This such a fun project!
A few years ago, my sister and her family got a new puppy. To get a sense of his size, she sent me photos with the tv remote next to him over the next few months.
This is for Becky’s January Squares. I’d actually made these squares at the time to show our Mom but rediscovered them as I was going through my archives. It’s too fun not to share.
Same remote, same dog. Just growing up!

While learning to fly my drone, I accidently put it in “rocket” mode. It took me a little bit to figure out what I’d done!
It’s moving closer to warm weather in California and we are starting to see lizards in the gardens.
I love their spritely moves and the push-ups in the sunshine always bring a smile to my lips.
I’ve always thought they were strictly bug-eaters until I saw this!
New insights!
We don’t use them much anymore, now that most of us aren’t farmers or mariners, but weathervanes still grace our world and add some whimsy. Whichever direction, smile and enjoy!
When I need a quiet place just to think and reflect, I find myself drawn to the beauty and peace of a cemetery. Far from being spooky, I find them places of beautiful sculpture that I find calming. In our older cemeteries, they are filled with the names of people no one now remembers or even knew. But I know they too had their struggles, hope, dreams, and challenges. This is a reminder to me that whatever is bothering me will eventually pass. Life goes on for me, for now. And I must seize the moments I have.
Dogs may be our “best friends” but bees are our best workers. They pollinate our fields, flowers, and all types of foliage. Seeing a beehive makes me appreciate all those workers and their organization and coordination!
How do they swim? No fins, just chubby little stalks for legs. No gills. Turtles look like rocks on the bank of the pond. And they swim!!
Driving the Las Vegas strip is an interesting trip in time. The southern portion is modern, sleek and glossy. Going north shows the older, more seedy, part. It is surprising how much of the old strip was still there and in need of repair (or demolition!). And, there was still the abundance of wedding chapels. It’s a fascinating place!
