Orange

Orange

is our theme

for

My son's first fire he braved,
 was a mighty powerful swirl of orange.



THEMATIC PHOTOGRAPHIC

Photos of carrots would fit but
 that's too crunchy

and of course you'd expect an orange or two.
Not today.

Ah yes, from our Linden Hills stroll 

orange prevails.


Perhaps an orange egg for our Easter Hunt.

"There is no blue without yellow and orange."

If you want to view inspiration first hand watch this video.

A journey of discovery, captures our orange theme beyond words.

Ergo, now that I've dismantled our theme orange,
 how did you feel?
Never angry, not one groan by dismantling.
 We earn photos that never nag
 and are like an orange glow in the sky.

From home sweet home, o range of mine, a wintry trail or, 

how about sending smiles from  

the o-safari-range 

from this land we love so much!

Did I hear, take me to a sandy white beach?

Greetings from lovely Orange Beach
in Alabama.

Lastly, but always first on an orange list,

pumpkins! Real or otherwise.

My conclusion to our theme this week,

seriously Carmi, the theme orange truly belongs
 to pumpkins, and Halloween and everything spooky.

and all things silly

and long remembered.

Thanks for stopping by
enjoy your week
and take good care of you.

Keep Calm and Hop On

Happy April and Spring and 

SATURDAY'S CRITTERS

"I just wish human beings were better gardeners."
Mark Andrew Poe

You know the magic is still alive through every little giggle-
and every kitty kiss!

Some kitty cats really know how to live.

Ho hum, I'd rather be outside!

We're not going to find Easter Bunny eggs in here!

Sleep tight sweetheart 
and sweet dreams. 

Love your kitty with all your might!

Thanks for stopping by your visits mean the world to me.

if you don't try it

then you can never do it."

Lions and Tigers and

Posting for Saturday's Critters

Lions

and tigers
and no trip to St. Louis, Missouri
as originally planned.

Instead, all of our family and friends got to share in spring break together.

Yep, not choosing any sides
 but this tiger is from Alabama.

"A tiger never loses sleep 
over the opinion of sheep."
Ziad K. Abdelnour

all quotes are from Ziad

"Don't wait for miracles.

Your whole life is a miracle.

Live it up and dare to leave an impact.

There is no rehearsal."


"Chase your dreams, but always know the road
 that will lead you home again."
Ziad K. Abdelnour

Cousins are those childhood playmates

 that grow up to be best friends.

All doors are open.
Be free.
Run wild.
Live.
Because school is back in session on Monday!

Can a person really ever have too many roasted marshmallows?

I think not!

Play hard and always sleep well!

and never ever forget to play ball with your best friend for life.

Every day is a good day, enjoy and repeat.

Thanks for stopping by

and take good care of you.

Fun Fruit TP

Welcome to

THEMATIC PHOTOGRAPHIC

our theme is

Electrical and Infrastructure
(or apple-play)

Batteries included.

"I  am somewhat exhausted; I wonder how a battery feels when 

it pours electricity into a non-conductor."

Arthur Conan Doyle

Electric apples have the capacity to move on their own.

"Enthusiasm is the electricity of life. How do you get it?
You act enthusiastic until you make it a habit."
Gordon Parks

My electric apple checking out,
What plug-in hybrids can't live without.

Life source for my Chevy Volt

They sparkle and shine with every step.

"Allowed to be free to roam

their imagination takes over the universe

and the rest of the world misses out

when they don't see through their eyes

every now and then."

Me

Here's to more lively adventures

with free thinkers.

Thanks for stopping by and take good care of you!

Big Bird Says

WHOA!
Stop, time out!

Hear this bullies-

Don't mess with my
Sesame Street friends.


"Some sweet talkin' bird comes along, singing a song,
don't mess around, now we've got to be strong."

"Like bones to the human body,
the axle to the wheel,
the wing to the bird,
and the air to the wing,
so is liberty the essence of life.
Whatever is done without it is imperfect."
Jose Marti


Wheels and Tires is Carmi's theme
 this week for THEMATIC PHOTOGRAPHIC

Time out for

Wheels on the edge!

"There are no walls at the edge of this universe,
absence of gravity is the limit of space existence."
Toba Beta

When reality hurts 
for whatever reason
remember
"Arrogance is a creature.
It does not have senses.
It has only a sharp tongue and the pointing finger."
Toba Beta

Then truly it's time for a 
Yummy TIME OUT dessert just for you!

Indulge, enjoy BE HAPPY and maybe share some too!

Thanks for stopping by and take good care of you.

The Nature of Critters

About my secret well of happiness, 
it pretty much begins with 
CRITTERS

There's really only one thing that brings me down.
I know it's utterly ridiculous yet,
Who is minding our world affairs?

Who is, protecting our hearty fields of grain 
and sweet flowing waters, 
and ......
(okay, I remember this is our happy place)


See why critters are so dear?

Adorning, serious eyes, holding a world of wisdom in those eyes.

SATURDAY'S CRITTERS

"An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language."
Martin Buber

Sniff, sniff, are you a real bunny? Sniff, sniff.

Yep. Really real.

Just kidding. I know she's stuffed, all the more fun Mommy.


"You can judge a man's true character 
by the way he treats his fellow animals."
Paul McCartney

My mother always said, beware the person who doesn't
 like animals, or children, 
and especially those who don't drink coffee.

"A bird without wings and a man without art

are both condemned to wander in low places;

they can never soar up to those

unrivaled heights."

Mehmet Murat ildan

When there's a choice to play dress-up, always play!

Lose your stillness and you will fail
 in everything you do."

Lieh-tzu

Love all critters.
Two legged, four legged, three legged, no legged.

And if ever you're confronted with anyone being,
Absurdist, bullyish, childish, devilish and utterly ridiculous just

Hold your head high
 and carry on!

"If you look at the monkeys

you can learn many things about the men;

if you look at the men

you can learn many things about the madness."

Mehmet Murat ildan

Rusty's not so sure why Oliver is getting all the attention, 

Don't they remember dogs rule and cats drool?

Children need critters.
Critters feed a person's soul.

Always feel like the prize ring in a tug o'war rope
and you'll always be a winner.

Enjoy your day, in everything you do-
we're headed for some earthiness,
(on a mission to gather some nature photos
 as incredible as our dear writer friend, Mac)

thank goodness there's sunshine outside!
No matter,
Take good care of you-
