Five Little Frags Fritted Franticly For Freedom

Luckily my little frags know just where to find their freedom, yep over at Mrs. 4444's Friday Fragments. If you need a home for your wayward blog fragments stop on by, the more the merrier!

Thank you Mother Nature!

The weather is nice and I am running away for the weekend! Not sure that I will get a chance to see the Falls this trip but I will be spending some much needed time with family and friends. How about you, will you be traveling to visit friends and family for the upcoming holidays? 

One thing I have to admit about winter, it sure makes for some spectacular skies.

The strangest thing has happened. My grandson's cat is five years old and has been a very anti-social animal ever since they got him as a kitten. He has always been a very good guard kitty, sitting guard at the foot of my grandson's bed or in his doorway at night. But that was about the closest he would get to humans. Until recently. He has become more than social, sitting in laps, wanting to be petted and so on. Now he is down right needy! 

I don't watch a lot of TV, especially reality TV but I do have to say I am addicted to The Voice. This season has me in a quandary though. The final 10 are all so good I really have no clue who I want to win. Although I do have a very soft spot for this artist, especially after this performance of one of my favorite Bread songs. If you are watching this season do you have a favorite?

I have found a new book to add to my list of must haves. It is Photojournalist Scott Strazzante book Common Ground. I read a recent article  about the project in which Strazzante  documented the transformation of a family farm into a suburban track of homes, and how it had come to life. If you haven't heard about it check out the article that shares some of the photos and a little bit about the book.

Week In Review:

On Artistic Composition the week started off with a true story of how one man gave three homeless children The Gift Of Joy. Then on Wednesday I posted a simple wish that included where you can find this awesome planner.

On Nita's Photography the week focus was late Autumn fun in the park with children playing, workers working and of course some pretty flowers and a playful critter.

 Have A Fantastic Weekend!

Please drop a comment or quick hi and I will stop by and return the favor.

Skywatch Friday

The sky was looking a bit ominous the other afternoon when a storm came rolling through the area. It wasn't a bad storm and didn't last very long. It was just long enough for me to capture a few beautiful sky shots including a double rainbow.

Don't forget to hop on over to Skywatch Friday and view some of the other amazing skywatch photographs.

Sky's The Limit

Starting life over can be daunting. Especially if you are the type of person that tends to plan everything. I was getting a little sad thinking how I have been here in VA for over a month and really haven't done much in the way of exploring. Then I remembered that one must first learn to walk before then can run.

So although I have started out at a crawl, I know as I learn my way around this new home of mine I will find my equilibrium. I have set my sights on the sky this week and am drawing limitless inspiration and comfort from their beauty.

Wishing all a fabulous weekend.

Work and Wonderful Weather

Some days I wonder how others can work full time indoors. Then I remember, oh ya I did that for many years. It wasn't so bad when the weather outside was nasty but oh I can remember wanting to play hooky when the weather was nice. TGIF really meant a lot during those years.

Now although I try to do most of my indoor work on rainy days or in the later part of the evening so that I can be outdoors as much as possible during the good weather it doesn't always work out that way. This week it was so beautiful outside, but the website needed to be revamped and photographs needed to be processed. Maybe I should put a work station in the backyard for those days.

Fabulous Friday Submission

Had I stayed indoors and worked steadily the indoor work probably would have been completed much sooner but who can resist a sunny day. Instead I took lots of breaks and headed outside with my camera to capture a bit of the fun.

Of course the work still needed to be done and I did get back to it eventually. The reward is this really fun memory print for a local pre-school, cohesiveness between our primary website and our informational website. Announcement of our May Special Feature Artwork, and a number of fun new products in our on-line gift shop. I am excited to to see what next week brings.
