Whenever you post, I'll be delighted to read it. You're a busy mom, and if you don't take care of you (i.e. vegging), you can't take care of your beautiful family. Have a happy weekend ~ big, big hug right back at you!

It was my first visit, but it won't be my last. I have to total my recent walks to see exactly where I am on my long walk. I have a simple camera that I use on automatic focus. Usually when things like squirrels are moving fast, I won't zoom in right on the subject. I can do that in editing. If the subject stops and I'm quick enough, then I'll zoom and click. I take a number knowing eventually I'll get a shot like the full length leaping squirrel with the acorn in its mouth. Sometimes I get lucky, sometimes I don't! I rereading the LOTR books, by the way. Have a good weekend!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-59604817235556299172014-10-10T08:44:34.444-06:002014-10-10T08:44:34.444-06:00O my goodness, what gorgeous pictures!

I've been so busy with the kids and the shop and dolly commission and general Mom things.. I've had blog posts stewing in my head, but when I have a bit of free time, I just want to veg lol! I'm working on another new doll over the weekend, and then I really will try to get a post done. I trust all is well with you and all at home -- big big hug!! P.S. And YES, those sandfly bites have disappeared, praise the Lord -- it was about a week of prescription antihistamines and steroid cream lolBIKBIK AND ROROhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06688260142838394342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-57644398611957893552014-10-09T15:47:18.851-06:002014-10-09T15:47:18.851-06:00I love your blog!
