A Day at the Zoo

 

Hear me roar!  We were lucky to be viewing the lion and lioness for this wonderful display!  She had just jumped up onto the platform with him, they had circled, he smelling her, and she had plopped herself down.  This was him announcing his dominance to those of us outside the fence, and he did it several times!  Too cool!  

I hope you enjoy the rest of the photos!  Remember to click on them to see them individually.

From snow to palm trees....

With the doors flung open, sun shining, and flip-flops on, it doesn't seem as though just days ago I was in Casper!  Although the usual Casper sun did not shine, it was a magical visit in many ways.   I was moved by the support and love of old friends, my daughter's vocal performance and maturity, and gift of nature I was able to see.  Here are a few photos from my visit.

Merry Christmas to all!

Seasonal spirit

On  my right sidebar you see a link to Where Women Create.  Since the first of December their daily posts have been stories about artists by artists, references to their sites, and give-aways they generously offer.  All have been inspirational and a boost of seasonal love, but today's really struck me.  Treat yourself to a visit!  http://www.wherewomencreateblog.com/blog/2010/12/the-fourth-day-of-holiday-traditions-.html#tpe-action-posted-6a00d8341d829653ef0147e05ecd2a970b

Light the way....

I'd love to light the way with the gorgeous candlesticks being given away here http://janettemalloryinteriordesign.blogspot.com/2010/11/aidan-gray-holiday-giveaway.html#comments.  Just lovely!
