Warning......


........this just might throw you in to a narcoleptic fit if you last through all of these pictures.











I am practicing with the camera and just trying to get a bit better each time. I'm at barely passing grade right now, but hope to improve as time goes by.

Thanks for letting me bore you to death.
Wishes to you for a lovely weekend whatever your pursuits.

These Pictures Make Me Happy....




My niece took these pictures of my sister's beloved dog, Angus. In my imagination, Angie is at a Renaissance Fair performing with joyful abandon for all of the Ladies in Waiting, who are secretly swooning in the presence of the gallant knights in armor. The trumpets have sounded and the jousting is about to begin, all to be followed by a heady banquet, well oiled with mead and accompanied by minstrels and jongleurs.
In the smoky light of a hundred torches, jeweled chalices flash their brilliance.
And where is Angus now? He is asleep under the dais, nestled cozily by his Lady Eleanor's elegantly slippered feet, his belly filled with tidbits of roasted oxen, pheasant and snippets of sweetmeats.

........"a sense of 'divine ordinariness'......."

I love this small book.
It has brought me hours of pleasure....
....many moments of quiet contemplation....
....faith, affirmation and gentle joy.
