Beauties....

Have you ever heard the term 'get on your glad rags'--meaning get dressed up. Any time I see gladiolas I cannot help but wonder if the term glad rags came from them. They are just so beautiful.
And who would have ever thought a locust could turn into something so beautiful...well maybe they don't. But I love the color of this cicada. I was quite surprised to see it and quickly snapped a few shots. His green color is awesome.

I'll leave you with these....

I took the old dog for a short walk this morn down by the railroad and managed to get a couple or three photos that I really liked--the middle one shown here being one of them. These are supposed to enlarge....so keep your fingers crossed for me that they do because I have to get off here soon.
We were there once before but didn't get to do it justice so thought we would go back. We should be leaving here in a few hours...
You see, we will be celebrating. Come July 29th, this Tuesday in other words, we will be married 32 years. What is more, you won't believe this, but you can ask my brother Neal if it isn't a fact...we dated a month, decided on a Monday to get married on Thursday.

Roger and I worked at CBS, in different divisions and had actually said hi to each other about twice....that is no exaggeration. I thought he was sort of cute....and apparently he thought I was. I was dating someone else at the time. When we broke up, Roger asked me out. We have seen each other every day of our life since then with the exception of times he has had to be gone for work. And that hasn't been real often. The longest we were ever parted was for 3 weeks for his initial training for the job he just retired from.

I will sure miss seeing you guys...I will probably be back for SWF at the latest. I have photos I took a couple weeks ago that I haven't used. I have had other things going on or I could have had them scheduled but as you can see I am running out of time. And I haven't visited anyone hardly the past day or two.

From the archives



I can't help but wonder if any of these will enlarge....I tried to get the top photo on the previous post to enlarge last night as well as this morn and had to just give up on it. I have no idea what is going on and wondered did anyone else have trouble when uploading more than one photo.
I was looking through my older images and realized I forgot my kitties' first birthday...my daughter ask me what I would have done for them. I told her maybe take their 1st yr. photo, or maybe cut up a piece of lunchmeat just special for them. She seems to think they are spoiled enough.
Anyway, I did pause on their pictures but think I have posted a good portion of the good ones I have of them. So I kept looking and came across these three. And I looked at that top photo, and seen all the clouds and wonder what I was thinking cause I didn't take any showing off the sky!
