A Colorful World

Psalm 19:1--The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handywork.

I wish to apologize to anyone who may be having trouble making comments on my posts. I appreciate your visit so much, and wish I could read what you have to say, but something is going on with my computer, and until I can get the issue addressed, this may continue. Please keep visiting! Also, often I cannot make a comment on some posts I look at, particularly those who ask for me to show I am a guest. I have noticed sometimes someone can only comment in the "Reply" section of another comment...if that's all that works, then that's fine! Let's keep visiting no matter what happens, and know we are touching each other with our creativity and thoughts and images even when we can't get (or leave) feedback. God bless you my dear blogger friends!

I Never Said Goodbye!

OK, I am rotten for abandoning my blog almost a year ago and never saying why. First of all, I am fine! Secondly, if you used to follow me may I suggest you follow Accidentally Aging which is Mom's new blog. You can find it on my blog list on my sidebar. I check back here now and then to link in to Mom's. Just haven't been posting. I've gotten into Instagram these days. If you have IG and want to follow me there, my name on it is Writrpaintr. Hope you are all doing well! Have a blessed Thanksgiving! Enjoy this photo I took this summer when we went boating with the family on Lake Billy Chinook...that's Mt. Jefferson in view.

Haven't gotten many shots of animals lately but did get a few this week. Joining in with Eileen's Saturday Critters:

Thankful for Cousin

Joining Michelle's Thankful Thursday....

We are hundreds of miles away from our old home grounds...hundreds! I was originally born in Alabama. My mother's Dad was killed before she was born, and so she never knew many of that side of her family. Consequently, I knew even less. It didn't help much that Dad was in the Navy and we moved all over the country while I was growing up. Now, making our home in Oregon, my husband and I heard from my Mom that I had a cousin living in Vancouver Washington (which is just outside of Portland, OR for those who don't know.) Then a few months back she told me my cousin and family had moved to within 30 miles of us! Well, we connected on facebook, and back in early January she and I had lunch and got to know one another! Her grandmother was my grandfather's sister. We had never met before but really hit it off! I am thankful today to have some of my extended family within reach! (We also have a nephew who recently got a job in San Francisco, and although that isn't THAT close, he is within much easier distance from his NY home! We will probably get to see him as well!)

Have plans to get together often with Cynthia and her husband! Uh...you can't tell we are related, can you? :-) (And, no, we didn't coordinate our outfits on purpose! :-) )

Herons in My Past

Reaching back into my archives for bird shots this week...just didn't want to miss out on Stewart's Wild Bird Wednesday even one more week! Wonderful herons at Reid Park in Tucson AZ in 2013.

New Memory Card!

OK, I have been absent a LOT! :-) I know. My first problem was I filled up the memory card in my camera, but yes, I have also been in a weird mood since before Christmas about doing photos and posting them. Just haven't been "with it!" So...bought a new memory card the other day and have 2000 photos to take! :-) So I know I better get with it. Just a few of shots taken with my phone during the interim, for Mersad's Through My Lens this morning....

Yippee-ky-yay Breakfast!
