DOUBLE RAINBOW http://nature.desktopnexus.com/get/487845   Last night I went to pull the shade and t here was the most beautiful rainbow I have ever seen and it was a double! It was raining and I had my pajamas on (again) but I ran out and took a bunch of photos. This one is one of the best, but my camera doesn't do it justice.    Double Rainbow by MaDonna http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/319049 Of course, I had to submit a Persona to match! The problem with Personas is there is not enough room to show much of a design. So, this was the best I could do. Hope you all like it. Personally I think it was worth getting sopping wet to get the shot.   Last week was a pretty good week. Our great grandson got to spend Friday with us the whole day. You can imagine how active a 5 1/2 year old can be. He loves bull riding, and since we don't have a real bull, he gets to "ride" the foot stool we inherited from my Mom. Needless to say, it is not in the excellent condition...

Wednesday Morning Horses http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/315775   I decided to post a design I put on this morning. On my way home from getting groceries yesterday morning (I do my shopping very early) the horses were standing in the sunshine enjoying the early morning quiet. I swear they were posing for me! I also put a desktop wallpaper on line (the link is under the details on the Persona site). In the far background if you look real closely you can see the Canadian Mountains. There was frost in the shade at the lower part of the design as the sun hadn't hit that part of the pasture yet. It is so funny how or why some designs get popular and others just sit there. I can make one that I think turns out great and a few people will use it. Then I can put one on I am not real happy with and it will get used.  So I guess I am not a very good judge of nature.    I got a pretty good shot of a sunset a couple nights ago. I went out in the pasture in my pajamas b...

By The River http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/312528   This is one of my favorite fall designs. I had it on last year but smaller. This one makes it so you can see more of the river.   I haven't checked in for awhile and to  my followers I am sorry. I just get so involved in life and everything else I just didn't take the time. I know everyone says it, but I swear the older you get, the faster the time goes by. I wish I had the energy to get up real early every day and start doing what I want to do. But, I don't. The things I HAVE to do get in the way! And there really is only so much time in a day.  I have been working on a few holiday designs but nothing really exciting. Anyway, I don't think so. Every year it gets harder to get in a holiday mood. Families get older and everyone has obligations.  Family get-to-gathers get harder to arrange so the most can attend. Sometimes I feel like chucking it! I won't but sometimes I feel that way.   We went ...

Sunset Fishing http://nature.desktopnexus.com/wallpaper/470933/   Well, we went on the photo shoot I had been thinking about all year and it was kind of like everything you think about for a long time. It is always better in your mind than the actual thing! All year long I could remember this beautiful sunset shot I didn't get. But last year there were more clouds in the sky so the sun had more light to reflect off. Needless to say I was very disappointed in what I got a photo of, but thought I would post it anyway. The guy fishing in the middle of the river was having a good time, though. He will never know he had his photo taken.  Fog in the Pasture http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/309132   I did get a shot that I really liked on the way home though and I will post it as a Persona. There is a field at the bottom of a hill and the cattle were grazing by the pond and the fog was just forming. I thought it turned out great.  If you like it, the link to the w...

Signs of Autumn http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/308030 The start of the new week and I have been busy working away. I made this design this morning and was very pleased with how it turned out. I also have the wallpaper on line at:  http://nature.desktopnexus.com/wallpaper/467769/  It looks great on the screen. Very bright and colorful.  I spent most of the week end working. It is funny, sometimes my head is full of ideas and then once in awhile, there is nothing! But last night a couple ideas popped into my head. When that happens I grab a tablet and kind of draw it out or at my age, I will forget! Half the time, the idea won't turn out, but once in awhile it does... Right now I am concerned about our oldest grandson who was taken to the hospital this morning with chest pains. I am hoping it is just stress since they have a new baby and he just started his own business and is very busy. Please God, let that be it. He is a wonderful, strong man with too much en...

Mount Shuksan and  Image Lake We got to go on a photo shoot yesterday. We went to Artist Point and Twin Lakes. I was amazed at the beautiful colors already. They were so vibrant, but alas, my poor digital camera is not up to the fantastic beauty of the Pacific Northwest. But I try!!! The photo I added today is of Mount Shuksan and the lake below that some call Mirror Lake and some call Image Lake. It is a favorite spot for photos and photo takers. You have a hard time getting a shot without people in it! I loved getting away for the day and going to one of our favorite places, the mountains. We drive the many mountain roads and  I take tons of pictures, but I usually get one or two (if I am lucky) that actually turn out. But being together, enjoying the sites and one another is better than going to some fancy hotel or spa for us! We would feel like total outcasts. About 20 years ago, my sister was in a play at a theater in Seattle and we went there to see it. We got a fantas...
