Hellooooo!

I thought I'd stop by my blog to see how things were going. Looks pretty quiet here.   ;-)

Shadow Shot Sunday

Good thing I took this photo when I did, on May 1. Since then the geranium blooms have disappeared; sadly the weather got cold again. I do hope they'll return.

I used this pic in a post yesterday, but I think I spy some shadows here.

Join in the fun and see shadowy pix from all over the world at Shadow Shot Sunday 2.

 

It's true there's gno place like gnome!

Our daughter knows me well.

These gnomes were my Mother's Day gift from her.

Who says I don't welcome visitors?   ;-)

Shadow Shot Sunday

Since we are expecting snow to fall later today I thought I'd re-post an oldie but goodie I captured a few winters ago.

I love gnomes! It says Gnome for the Holidays on the bottom of the ornament.

I also love snow people!


Wishing a Happy New Year 2013 to all ~ May this year be your best ever.

Join the shadowy fun and see shadows from across the globe at Shadow Shot Sunday 2.

Yard Art ~ meet George

True story. I didn't have a yard art photo to post this week, so I went out yesterday and splurged.

I spent $3 and gave George here a home! I like that he has a bluebird for a friend, so he won't get lonely out there with the perennials.

Go see more yard decor at Mary T's Work of the Poet.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Yes, this guy is part of my (injured) gnome collection. The sun was shining Tuesday and I snapped a shot of him surrounded by dead weeds and leaves. He kinda reminds me of a leprechaun.

Yard Art ~ another gnome at home

Our birdbath top broke a while ago. Last spring I put this gnome on top of it, just for fun. He's still there.

Visit Mary T's Yard Art meme to see more interesting yard decorations.

Gnomes make a house a home

Mary T has a new Yard Art meme and minutes ago she requested that I post some of my gnome collection. How's that for a quick response?

Two of these guys were victims of the snow thrower. Can you see which ones are on the injured list?

Night photos and gnomes (again)

On Sunday night I set the camera on 'night mode' and tried taking photos of the full moon, without much luck. They were OK, but not any better than previous ones I've taken.

But I did manage to get a photo of one of my uninjured gnomes. Regular readers know that I have a few injured gnomes hanging around the front yard.

I think this one may have done a little too much celebrating, since I found him falling head first into the leaves.

Ruby Tuesday

(Please click to get a better look at the injuries)

My Travelocity gnome, right, and his little friend (standing in his shadow) are checking on the conditions of two injured colleagues.

The guy with the blue hat looking at the camera lost his left arm due to a snow thrower accident, as did the sad-looking chap in the center pushing the wheelbarrow. It wasn't my fault. I don't use the snow thrower. Just sayin'.

Check out many more photos featuring a little or a lot of red by visiting our hostess, Mary T, at Work of the Poet.

At home with a gnome

Welcome to my world. Yesterday the sun actually appeared, and the lilies were blooming so I took a picture of one of my little gnome friends.
As you can see he has a green hat, unlike most gnomes that always seem to sport a red chapeau.

I wonder if you can spot some of the other things in this picture, i.e. a frog, a bunny, and a turtle...if you can, you have good eyesight.
I only see them because I know they're there.

I hope this little post made you smile..it made me smile to post it.

Front yard stuff

A sunny morning last week prompted me to take some photos.






"Your move, old chap."















"I beg to differ, old chap, I believe it's your move."



"Well, all right ... checkmate!"

Snowed in, almost

So, it snowed yesterday. Then it sleeted. Then apparently it snowed some more, just in time to make St. Patrick's Day celebrations around here a bit on the cold and wet side.

I am watching the St. Patrick's Day Parade marchers going up Fifth Avenue in NYC. They must be a wee bit c-c-c-cold.

My garden gnomes managed to keep their heads above it all, as you can see.

Happy St. Patty's Day from our house to yours ...
