Day 31

me again

 

{photo taken by my brother last weekend}

Well, dear ones,

this is the last day of the 

January photo a day challenge...

and guess what...?

There's a new one starting up for February.

I haven't decided if I'm going to participate.

It was a great deal of fun,

so maybe I will.

I hope you enjoyed this past month of photos.

If you think you may want to join in on the fun for February,

check out the list at Fat Mum Slim: here.

Thank you for visiting!

Much love...

The backyard at my brother's cabin.

Amazing, isn't it?

Day 29

In my fridge

 

Those two fern leaves came home with me

from Glen Ellen.

We spent the weekend with my brother.

It was a perfect weekend.

Friday in San Fran,

Saturday we drove to his cabin

in Glen Ellen,

Sunday afternoon we flew home.

So many wonderful memories were made.

And pictures were taken!

Will share more with you

as soon as I catch up on my orders

and such...

 {Saturday walk in Glen Ellen.}

Much love!

An old shack at an abandoned silver mine in Mammoth.

So much abandonment must be preserved...

I hope you're having a beautiful week so far,

darling dears!

I'm sort of running behind a bit.

I have yet to visit my favorite blogs...

new Fringe designs to show you...

as well as many other things on my list...

if only time could stand still.

Just for a little while.

Thank you for visiting,

and much love!

Morning...

Day 16

Morning

This photo was taken by Ron,

from just outside our front door.

Happiness...

.

Here we are on a Sunday evening,

day 15 of the January photo a day challenge...

The weekend simply flew by.

Day 15

Happiness

I was compelled to choose this as my

"happiness" photo,

even though I've posted photos of this painting

here before.

The title of this painting is

"Happiness".

Can you see why its name is such?

The beautiful girl in the photo

is the artist's daughter.

The photo doesn't really do it justice.

It positively leaps with life in person.

The colors are not properly portrayed here either.

In reality, they are the most gorgeous colors,

saturated and brilliant

and placed perfectly.

~

I hope you're enjoying a peaceful evening,

dear friends.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

I'll be back tomorrow.

Until then,

much love!

Something I'm reading...

Day 14

Something I'm reading

 

I'm reading several books (and a magazine) at once.

That's how I am...

Sometimes I'll just have one book going.

Most often, I'm alternating between a few,

reading whichever one suits my mood.

How about you?

In my bag...

Day 13

In my bag

 

I'm a bit of a packrat.

It was fun to line everything up for this photo though.

Happy Friday, dear hearts!

 I'll be back tomorrow...

Day 12

Close-up

 

One of my treasures.

I quite like how this photo turned out.

I used Ron's fancy camera 

(and the fancy new lens I gave him for Christmas).

I have had so much fun using his camera, dears.

He may never get it back...

Thank you for visiting, sweet friends.

And thank you for being you.

Tomorrow's another shiny new day

and with it comes a new photo.

Until then,

 much love!
