(+2 insets) (please view large!) What a beautiful day it is! The morning began with a dusting of frost which quickly melted as the sun rose into the sky. Now it's shining brightly on the lovely clouds that are marching through the sky. I'm posting my picture early today because soon Steve and I are going to see the RV we're interested in and I don't know when we'll get back. I could post my picture later but I'd rather do it now so it's out of the way and not bugging me! :) It's Saturday Self Challenge!! The topic is "One"...which...is probably at least 50% of my photography so I got this done without even thinking about it! A few days ago it was extremely cold with a lot of frost everywhere so I got outside with my camera and went to town! The frozen droplets were just amazing and I'm featuring a dreamy image I got of one, along with 2 insets: a droplet-drizzled sporophyte and a frozen droplet at the edge of our deck, adorned with a frosted hat! Pam, since it's gleaming outside I found another sunny picture on your stream featuring "sunshine" and what did I find? A picture with that name that includes a super quote that I love. I sure do hope this was a nice day for you, and thank you for the kind words about the planets lining up for us regarding our RV plans! *BIG HUGS*!!! Explored on 3/04/19, highest placement, #6.

(+3 insets!) Another cold and drizzly day, I enjoyed looking at the mist crawl around the valley on my walk this morning. I did a lot of thinking about the pictures I took down in San Anselmo and the fun of processing and sharing them here on ipernity. The San Anselmo photo shoot has a seemingly endless variety of subjects which adds so much interest. Also, I had a lot of luck with usable images so I'll be able to post images for quite a while. For me, this project has been such a delight. I know that our property is overflowing with photo opportunities but change is a nice thing. I'm also really happy that I've been able to process so many of them. I worried that I would be pulled away from the project without getting to finish at least a handful. But as it turns out, I've processed over 50 pictures! I still have dozens of subjects I want to finish up but I'm enjoying every moment I get to work through each picture. When I got inside today I was very cold. In fact, I was so chilly that I decided to climb into my bed and bundle up under my fluffy blankets while I visited my contacts on ipernity. By the time I got through all of my comments I was so cozy and warm that I wanted to take a nap! Lunchtime saved me from snoozing and Steve cooked up amazing sausages to go with our fried eggs. I also had half an avocado which I heat up, mash into guacamole and add garlic salt. It's fabulous! Steve is totally horrified that I warm it up…lol…I know it sounds odd but it's YUMMY! :) Since I have been so cold today, I'm sharing pictures of one of the magnificent nightly log fires that my brother Brian made to heat up their beautiful living room. One evening I was admiring how pretty the fire was and it occurred to me that it would make a lovely picture. I ran and got my camera and clicked away! I am including two more fire images as insets along with a candid picture of Brian that I took while he was watching a YouTube video one afternoon. It turned out so well that I just had to show everyone how handsome my little brother is! :) Pam, I did a search on your photo stream and discovered that you have a fireplace in your home! We do not. When we moved in there was a free-standing log-fueled heater but we hated it. There is a place for a proper fireplace but we never got it going because we have a bird and smoke is an issue we don't want to chance. Do you use yours? They can be the most wonderful source of heat, and so cozy too. When I was looking in your pictures, I found this wonderful collage of your Fire Dragon Dance. It's just terrific!! Yearly burns may be necessary jobs but they are so pretty too. Here's hoping that you are having a comfortable, warm and cozy day my dear! :) Explored on 1/26/19, highest placement, #2.
