R.I.P. Neil Armstrong. Thanks for everything. And to Laika the first dog in space, who sadly died in orbit, but gave us valuable information that paved the way for humans to walk on the moon and hopefully beyond. (August 26, 2012)

August 13, 2012-Found this guy high up in the tree, had a hard time getting a focus on him as I was holding my camera a bit higher than normal. (Day 44:365)

Days 40-43

August 12, 2012- There never seems to be enough time in the day to get done everything I would like to do. My energy levels are down again, due to the progression of my illness and the infusions I just started taking. So this week, I wanted to try some types of post processing and have used them on these pictures. Fräulein has a new vest/harness as you can see in one of the pictures, it helps with her not pulling as we take our walks. The last picture here is the crepe myrtles at the end of our road. I hope to be posting daily starting tomorrow, we'll see how that goes. thanks for looking!

Clouds

Sir Willie

Via Flickr:
Aug 1, 2012-I caught Sir Willie stretching after his cat nap. He doesn't seem too pleased with me. I was hoping to post this before I left to get my infusion but it had to wait until I got back so posting late again today. I'll try to catch up with everyone tomorrow if my body cooperates.(Day 32/365)

Days 24-31 (finally all caught up)

 

July 31, 2012-A week or rather 8 days of clouds. As I was trying to upload my picture on July 24, our power went out for 14 hours. Which was just in time for me to leave for my first infusion. Since then my energy levels are way down. I have taken pictures during that time but when it came time to edit and post I was sound asleep. So today I finally have some energy back and deceided to make a collage. Yes, all clouds as that seems to go with my mindset/memory these days cloudy, hazy or groggy! I hope to get back into the swing of things with posting and commenting.  (Days 24-31/365)
