I stuck my iPhone out the one attic window that doesn't have a screen to capture the sun trying to burn off the morning fog. It won't be long now before we have a nice sunny day after two days of rain. Have a great Friday.

Seascape in Progress
How nice it would be to have talent and paint on site as you travel. via
It would be especially wonderful if you lived here and had artistic ability. ©Darien, CT waterfront home
Dachshund Love
This adorable little guy looks very worried. Does he think he's barking up the wrong tree?
The Real Sitters for Grant Wood's American Gothic
I love this photo of the couple who posed for Grant Wood's American Gothic. He looks exactly like the painting because of his bald head. Her curly hair style makes her a little bit harder to recognize but the face is the same. via

Valentine's Day is For Everyone
A heart-shaped spatterware baking dish I got at a tag sale.
A walnut shell photographed in my birdbath. I never knew there was a heart shape inside.
I still can't believe this picture I took of a wildflower with heart shaped stamens. This is real...not photoshop trickery.
A heart shaped leaf on one of my wild vines.
Happy Day of Hearts via Thresca back in 2009.
All of the photos are mine.
Mini S'mores Hand Pies Recipes

Bryce Canyon National Park - Utah
This windswept tree growing on the side of a cliff is hanging on for dear life. I have never been to Utah, have you? via
Bike Shop Sign
SAVING THE WORLD WITH BIKES
That's a pretty bold statement from such a small bike shop. I photographed this from my car on my way home from a doctor's appointment this morning. A yearly check up resulted in having the doctor tell me that I was perfect. At least one person thinks so!
Vintage Bookmobile from Chicago Public Library
One of the joys of my childhood was the bookmobile! The other was the ice cream truck.
Rockin' Robin
I took this photo last year -- don't remember when. I have big fat robins hopping around all over my lawn but they won't pose for a picture. Spring must be right around the corner if these birds are back, right? Have a great weekend.
While we are on the subject of SWANS
Will it fit? Don't you wish we knew why this swan needed to be driven somewhere? And on the passenger side too! via
Garden Passage
Hidcote Gardens -- Cotswolds, England. Absolutely wonderful! Actually it's almost too lovely if that's even possible. Maybe that's why the French doors are there...so you can block some of it out when you can't absorb the enormity of it all. Wouldn't you love to sit on one of those benches and soak in the beauty? via Have a great weekend.
Big Beautiful Dried Leaf
I have a tree on my property with giant leaves and I must remember to gather some this summer for still-life photography. I love this a lot! via
A Beautiful Frost
This is not my photo but I really wish it were. I think it's so lovely. When I posted a view of a dusting of snow in Scotland, a commenter said it looked like hoar frost. I asked google images to show me what hoar frost looks like and this was my favorite photo of all. via
English: Hoar frost, white frost or rime is the tiny solid deposition of water vapor from saturated air which occurs when the temperature of the surfaces is below freezing point. It occurs generally with clear skies. Air hoar, surface hoar, crevasse hoar and depth hoar are all types of hoar frost or technically: Radiation frost.
Cats on Tiptoes
I can't imagine what these three cats are looking at, can you? Found on a site devoted to humorous cat photos guaranteed to make you smile.
A Very Young Prince Charles and The Queen Mother
The young Prince Charles adored and was adored by his grandmother Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother. We haven't had a dose of British Royalty lately and I know everyone will love this delightful vintage photo. via
The Most Comfortable Chair in the Room
I really do love the ticking slipcover on this wing chair. And the framed page from a children's book too. via
