A few more pictures from my new splendid camera!

and it’s not an it! Much to my surprise this was awaiting me when I arrived home from my little vacation. Now I just need to learn to use it! I snapped a few pictures on a hike yesterday, can’t wait to be able to utilize all the bells and whistles it has!!!! (Note to self: wear a different hat next time. I have never seen wildlife run or fly away so fast!) For more splendid pictures, click here!

Meet Kiwi! This is my other four legged friend. She is about 9 years old. Doesn’t look a day over 102, huh? I got her when she was 5 days old and have watched her blossom into a fine young tortoise. She is very curious, friendly and devious. Isn’t she cute? (In a turtle kinda way)

Here is a layout I recently did of my princess, Filthy. Now, I tried to rename her Tia, but…..she is Filthy and I guess always will be. Now who would name their little girl such a nasty name? Hold on folks, it gets worse. Her full name is Filthy McNasty. I’m not typically a cruel person, and there is a reason behind this madness…really!
This little adorable feline has not always been so adorable. She showed up one fine day, on my porch about 7 years ago. She was so mangy we could not even tell she was a cat until we saw her sweet little face. She is a purebred Persian and her hair was in dreadlocks. (I remember one time using tongs to remove what I thought was a worm from her hair which actually turned out to be one of those Wonton noodles…no doubt from a dumpster… I don’t know…do Persians eat Wonton noodles?) She hung out a few months before we officially adopted her, (after a well needed trip to the groomers!!!) in the mean time my sons gave her the name Filthy McNasty and it has stuck with her since. Is she not the most precious thing you have ever seen?
