One of Two for Naked Ladies and More...Ha gotcha~

Short and sweet and yet so long ;)

Many of you leave comments for which I am forever grateful.  

Many of those comments speak of the work that goes into each mosaic.

This blog, the images, are my pride and joy to share.

I take the photographs, place them in Picasa folders and then when I have free time, usually after dinner in the evenings, I begin the long process.

I edit each and every photo, over 72,000 have been edited so far.

Then I decide which images to delete...you have to see the finished photo before you can delete it and I can delete over 10,000 images in a day...ha I did it once and it took forever to empty my recycle bin!

Then I decide on which images to place into the mosaics and I am very colour sensitive, and have to use like minded colours on the same post...however bad that sounds, it almost always looks nice together...right ;)

Then it is which if any images go solo.  

With so many edited images that I like, it is very difficult to choose just one, and so I love thus use of mosaics.

All of this being stated, I have way too many drafts in the cache and I am going to need to publish 2 posts into my favorite memes this week.

I may have to do this for a couple of weeks, as I will want to share my vacation journey for the end of September.

Can you believe that Summer is nearly over!!!

I know it willbe a lot to ask, but I would really love and appreciate your taking the time to view each post for this week.

Have a great weekend and a marvelous week.

Thank each and everyone of you for making this joy of sharing life such a pleasure~

I am going to attempt posting two blog posts today, as I want to get rid of these last snow images, that just keep popping up.  

Can you believe, we are going to have snow Tuesday and Wednesday...may not be much, but I am so ready for it to stop.

Had fun with my shadow images above~

Anyone need firewood, I know where you can get some, we really are making a dent, every day that we can~

Something quite special about Mourning Doves~

Never had I witnessed this before.

I was tending to my neighbors grounds, when the Mourning Doves, suddenly went into freeze mode, like little gray statues.  

It appeared a Coopers Hawk was making an entrance.  

The Doves are often taken, but not this day~

First they were happily eating and then they froze~

Gray Squirrel, what are you going to do besides look so cute and build up your dray~

One Sunday a month, or so ago. my daughter Ashleigh took me for a snow ride in 2 rural counties and the barns looked so pretty, had to share them~

And so long, shared these because, just too cute~
