Hi Phylor! Thank you for looking at my photos, and of course, I’m so glad you enjoy them. I popped over to National Geographic, but the contest is over. I guess most contests will start again in the New Year.
I did see a few nice links to other places. Have you ever read the magazine Birds and Blooms or a literary magazine, The Sun? I like those, so maybe one day (I keep saying). I appreciate your encouragement.
I hope you are getting along well and my best wishes to you during the holidays too.
Hugs, Michelle.

Sue, What a nice way the photo made you feel 🙂 I felt the same way when I saw the sky that day. Just had to go out and breathe some of that good crisp air and get a little sunshine.
Hugs xoxo

Thank you my friend! I am pretty good Sue. Sunny here, and I may get out a bit with my girl, Ruthie. My heating system broke and water line in the kitchen. I wish I had an ax, or a chainsaw, or both! We have three down trees and I would like to burn the wood. I might learn how to use a chainsaw… (What do you think? Have you ever used one? I’ve heard they have small ones for smaller people). I will surely tell if I do learn. Thank you for thinking of me, and sending your kind thoughts my way.
Big Hugs and Love,
Michelle.

Yes, I do know a nice man, but I lost his number.
I had to edit this comment. That first sentence says enough, and makes me laugh Sue. I don’t know if you’ll see this update, but I erased the part where I wrote that I wished for a chainsaw! Ha! Never will I be sawing or chopping any wood. I washed dishes and have been in pain ever since. I did get my water and heat fixed though.
Hugs xoxo

You are such a gifted photographer. Do you realize how talented you are? You could make a lot of money doing what you love to do….isn’t that everybody’s dream? Seriously Michelle, think about it. Loved them all. From my heart to yours, Laurie and Lexi

Awwwh! You always say that Laurie and I always appreciate your sincere compliment.
I have such a time with fatigue and brain fog lately, but I would indeed like to create with my photos. I’d also enjoy making some money. If you ever had any ideas please share. I was on Snapfish and CVS photo places today, but too tired to create. Also, my friend, the blogger from IconDoIt, Leslie, has a store on Zazzle. I could start a store on there. You can make anything out of a photo on there!
Thank you my friend.
Love Michelle, Ruthie Mae, and Tiny Boy.

Lovely! The sky was very blue here yesterday. Today it was for a little while, then mostly very dark with light rain. I said to my husband, “It’s really dark today.” He said, “Well, it is Black Friday.”
I had to laugh! 🙂

Same here Deb! I opened my blinds and as the sun was beginning to set, so early these days, the light outside begged me to get my camera. Mostly, I was captured by a pumpkin my son placed on a rock. It seems to have a life of it’s own now 🙂
Then of course, the dogs glowed, but then I looked up and well, I love our Carolina Sky. I always have.
Your husband’s humor reminds me of a late friend of mine, Rick. He was one of the funniest and best people I’ve ever known. He had a goofy sense of humor, but he always made me laugh 🙂 One was so corny, here it is. (I hope it isn’t offensive) I’d say, “It sure is nice out isn’t it?” Rick: “Yeah, it is. Do you think I should leave it out.” I know! Totally corny, but why not share I thought since it came up. (Ha! No pun intended there)… I must be tired.
Thanks for sharing Deb!
Big Hugs to you!
