When you get all better, you'll have to take Rave there. I thought the name Alyeska was familiar, so I Googled it and here's what Wikipedia says: Alyeska - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I bet you have, but if you haven't, read Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat. It was a wonderful book. The movie was not nearly so good. It's the story of a guy who goes to the northern hinterlands and camps out to study wolves. It tells interesting things about wolf behavior and family structure. It's also a commentary on how these noble animals are being hunted into extinction.
When my ponytail reaches a certain length, I get massive constant headaches. I know it's time to go get it trimmed. It's fine, but there is a lot of it!
If I didn't ride motorcycles, I'd cut it short again to have an easy to take care of hairstyle. But, you can't have short hair and not have helmet head!

SandySu; it just occurred to me this evening: I owe you some "likes". So for every picture you've posted, consider them liked, and for some, liked many, many times.
All I can say is that they tend to make me either think or dream, (or just go "mmmmm"
I'm flattered that so many people appreciate my photos. I love sharing them, and as I said before, anyone who wants to can download them for their own use. And here's one for you. It's an African daisy, but to me, it looks like a flower from outer space, grown by aliens.

I guess that's something I'll confront now that I have short hair, since I wear a helmet when I ride Penny. However, when I had my hair up in a bun, I couldn't wear a helmet over it, so I'd wear it in a ponytail. But before riding, when I was grooming Penny, if I wore my hair in a ponytail and bent over to clean out her hooves, the end of my hair would dangle down to her hoof and all the muck in it. So I'd go to the barn with my hair up to groom, then let my hair down to wear a helmet to ride, then put it back up again after riding. This meant it was messy, and all the hair changing got on my nerves, so a little bit of helmet head will probably be a relief.
Nice work on the collage yet again, Rabbit! I still say we need a "sticky" for it somewhere and need to elect/appoint you the official photo archivist of Voltville.
I had a son-in-law that had two wolves as pets (?) that he kept in a fairly big kennel, as chain link kennels go, in the back year. It bothered me that they were stuck in there 24/7/365 for no purpose other than for him to say he had two wolves. He's no longer my son-in-law which makes me happy, but I do wonder what ever happened to those wolves, gorgeous animals who deserve to run free.
Now that you're at least semi-back, Blues, maybe we'll see some more or Rave as well.
Sandy, your photos are great! While I'm not a big "still life" type their beauty is still compelling. Keep sharing!
By the way, you ladies should explore a crew cut

Oh, wow. Wow.
Are they hard to grow, do you know? I wonder if they are as common in Africa, as daisies are in N America? I wonder if they would grow in my horticultural area? That is just fantastic. Do they come in different colors?
See? This is what I mean: my mind just goes off on its' own....

This one I found growing in someone's yard here, so I doubt they are hard to grow, but I don't know if you could grow them in Florida, since it's a different climate.
Aaaarrrgh! That's it. Y'all have fun, I've got to get away from this computer. "Out of stock" is about to make me tear my hair out. I'll ck back in an hr or 2.
Here's another photo taken when I was in my weird experimental mode.
I have this lovely shell. In fact, I have a lot of weird dust collectors like this. One day, I took a mirror from the bedroom out to the yard and took various photos of things on it and reflected in it. So the sky is reflected in the mirror, and I put the shell on the mirror. Since you can't see the frame of the mirror, it looks like the shell is in the sky.
Here's another of the mirror in the yard so you can get the idea of what I did.
shell looks like a alien craft....
Well, my old computer finally bit the dust. It's been a workhorse for years, so it really doesn't owe me anything. Actually, the computer is probably fine; it's the monitor that died. For about a year now it's been behaving strangely from time to time, and this evening, it just turned itself off. I restarted the computer, and it was still black, so I think it's gone for good. This is an eMac, which came out when the iMacs did, but from reviews I read, it was tougher and hardier than the iMac, so I bought this kind, even though it was harder to find. They made the eMac for schools, so I guess they needed to take more abuse or last longer or whatever. So what does one do with a defunct computer? Since I knew it was on its way out and had lots of warning, all my stuff is on this new computer, and I just used the old one to play games. The games are even on this new computer. Now I just have to get used to the smaller area the directional keys (the ones with arrows) are in, since the new computer is a laptop. I like this one. I't so much more transportable. Taking the old eMac anywhere felt a little like moving day. This one fits in a computer carrying case the size of a slim attache case.
So, does anyone want a defunct eMac for the price of shipping? I suppose some people could use it for parts. Probably it will be better to donate it locally. There's a guy who fixes computers who might want it.

SandySu, your photos are excellent. White Rabbit, very nice job on the collage.
I was just telling Raven yesterday that she needs to get on this thread and post more. She loves you folks. You are like family to her. Raven is busy working on the plans for her son's house. But maybe you'll hear more from her. I hope so.

Talk about a creative imagination! That's wonderful Sandy!
Blues, I'm so glad you're here this evening. Does this mean you're feeling better? How's it going?
I'm glad you like the photos. So here are a couple for you. This is Gilbert the yellow dog. He was owned by the barn owner where I boarded Penny some years ago, and I loved that dog. He was really special. He was calm, friendly, always a good boy. If you looked into his eyes, there was some sort of deep knowledge you could see. I can't explain it any better than that. It was like he was an old soul. Recently I heard he died. It makes me sad, even though I haven't seen him in years. The world is a poorer place without Gilbert.
And here's a cute picture of him sleeping in his owner's car, resting up for the next adventure.
And being the oddball that I am ... doing just the opposite.
One of the things on my bucket list is ... let hair grow long. I've always had short, shorter, shortest hairdos since I was a little girl. I always wanted to let it grow, but I just never had the patience to get past that in-between stage. So when I stopped working and had a lesser need to have that coifed-for-the-office look, I just decided now or never. It's actually starting to get pretty long, now way past shoulder-length. I do have it trimmed, of course. One side always grows faster than the other. I usually wear it pulled back or twisted on top of my head. But it looks pretty good when I take the time to fix it.
And well it should be ... censored that is. You were brave enough to post, and I was brave enough to gawk at it.
Hi Rave. Sigh ... yes, I'm old enough to know where that phrase "flip side" came from.
Have a good day, Raven.
Keep it clean, ladies, and I'm not talking about housework
But ... but ... but ...
It's crystal clear and sunny, with a fresh coat of snow on everything. I really should get out and do something. I have grocery shopping to do, so today may be a good day for that. I just hope the major roads are clear by now. Ours, just a little local road, still has snow on it. Maybe I should take my camera along and stop along the way for some snow scenes if I see something interesting. Till then, here's a fern with a ray of light shining on it. Not taken anyplace special, just in a neighbor's yard.
So stunning!! As usual, big thanks.
Blues, glad to see you here again. Still sending lots of healing prayers and thoughts for you. So glad to see you on the road to recovery.
That collage is just wonderful ... big thanks, again!
Hope everyone has been having a great day.
We will have to call YOU the wolf whisperer now.
You totally gained his trust and earned his respect in order for him to kiss you like that! How honored you must feel!
Wonderful to have Blues and Raven back today. Get some rest Blues and Raven. Both of you don't over do it. Glad Holly is posting somewhere. That means she okay but I do miss her trips to Disneyworld.
House cleaned. Shopping done. Groceries put away. Cleaning towels in the washer. Compost and ashes out to the garden. Wood in from the wood shed and all the animals fed and watered. All I have to do now is get some dinner on the table about 7pm.
Yeah, maybe I'll sit down and read a book.

Good evening volties! Well, I've taken the first step to becoming a DIY'er! Just placed a huge order with a bunch of different flavors. Of course I had to get a couple of toys along with it. The past two days have been an absolute horror to top it off I was rewarded with a freaking sty in on the corner of my right eye this morning. Yippee! I noticed people looking at it all day. It always happens when I'm stressed. So, I figured I'd cheer myself up and buy some vaping stuff! I will say that I never thought about buying a pack of cigarettes the past couple of days, so vaping is here to stay for me!
Those of you that DIY, I will probably be asking a few questions along the way! I hope everyone has a great weekend, I know I need one!
