Took Shadow for a walk and found this sweet little Robin’s egg blown out its nest. RIP future Baby Robin.

Warm inside, frozen outside.

Good Friday after the storm. #okc

It’s a trick! It looks bright and sunny outside, but the wind is blowing like crazy. Windchill is 21 degrees. Good day to snuggle up at home.

Hadn’t planned on giving blood at work today, but here I am…. # OBI

The flowers I got for my birthday several weeks ago are still looking beautiful in my kitchen window. Bright colors make my heart glad.

A rare windless day at Lake Hefner. Felt so great to soak up the sun and fresh air!

Great birthday flowers from a friend today. Can’t wait to see spring flowers blooming soon !

I love trees. Growing up in the Ozarks I learned to love the shape and glory of trees. 
I photographed this magnificent beauty in Carthage, Missouri in the fall of 2011.

That fall was glorious - some of the best colors I had seen in years.
Every color was rich and blazing.

I miss the trees of the Ozarks.    

I have two Labrador Retrievers. This is Gracie Belle. I rescued her from the Bethany Animal Shelter about a year-and-a-half ago. She’s very sweet, loves me fiercely, but still has some street in her. She’s a wily little critter. And fast!

Took a spontaneous road trip to Guthrie, Oklahoma a few weeks ago.
Here’s an iPhone pic I snapped of the original State Capital. [iPhoneography]

I love retro signage. I found this great hotel sign in Broken Bow, Oklahoma last weekend.  [iPhoneography]

I love textures. All kinds of textures.

Exotic fabrics from other countries are a weakness of mine. I bought these two Nepali blankets because they are beautiful, but the best part is they are so soft. I love them.
