Prrrrrrrrretty snazzy! ;-) I like the park light effect.

Erv, that is such a heartwarming story. Those are memories that we truly treasure. I have never been a quilter, but I decided when I was grown that I'd teach myself to crochet. I went to Walmart, got a book, got kneedles and yarn and decided winter would be a great time to sit at night and make a throw. Well, nobody told me when to stop and I got kinda carried away! When I got through with it, it was too big for the king sized bed and weighed in at about a ton (so I thought. We used it for a couch cover and most of it hung off the back to the floor! We had such a laugh about that for many years.[/quote]

You made a thneed! (a la Dr. Seuss -- http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~cjermain/thneed.htm ) :lol:

It's wonderful, Erv! You have a treasure, that you do!

How very lovely, Lois! Wonderful quilts, you have given away. It's more than a quilt, for a lot of love goes into each one. I, too, love to quilt. :-)

Good shot! You can see every hair, every drop of water. Mine is fuzzy enough, everyone should be glad I told them what it was. :?

I could have been one of those tourists standing there on the bridge with you. :-D Naaa, it's a different moose. Here's my shot. The moose was a long ways away, and I only had a 300mm lens. This was taken August 18, about 2:30 p.m.

Moose on the Snake River

We live in one of the few areas where the Eastern and the Western Kingbird territories overlap. The Western is more colorful. They're such pretty little things, and so much fun to watch. Helpful birds, too -- they gobbled up bugs by the thousands. :-)

Looks like a Western Kingbird. Does it perch high, then dart out and catch insects on the fly? Have a high-pitched twitter?

haha! That pictures makes me laugh aloud, each time I look at it. Here's another kitty of mine. This one is called Tabby, not because it's an actual tabby, but because one of my little girls wanted to name it thus, and name it thus she did. All because her name is Dorcas, and Tabitha is the same name in another language, and she figured Tabby was short for Tabitha, and would do for a 'boy kitty', and she would thereby have a cat named after her, which seemed like a Five Star idea, to her. :lol:

Your Tobias is very similar to my cat Socks, who died last year. I miss him.
