My Photo
Midland, Texas, United States
My name rhymes with "Lisa," I live in Midland, Texas, because it's warm and the mortgage is cheap, and of course this is my natural hair color. Of course! The EGE--The Ever-Gorgeous Earl--is my husband of 35 years. I have the best job in the world because I get to call up artists and ask them nosy questions and then write about them. I also stitch, podcast, blog, and then, in my spare time, do it all some more.

Eye Candy

I hardly ever post any cool photos—I’m such a slacker. So when we went through The EGE’s photo cards last week, I picked out some I like a lot and thought you might enjoy. Here they are, for your Viewing Pleasure:
10
Some flowers that have lasted almost three weeks sitting out on the front porch in the heat. They don’t have a scent, but they’re gorgeous.
1
Angel Rodriquez, who lives down the block and comes to get The EGE to walk her home and feed her at least twice a day.
4
Humphrey, who lives next door to Angel (she loathes him). He fell asleep in the tree after this photo was taken, waiting on the squirrel to come back.
2
Monk and Larry.
7
Larry.
6
Larry again. I may have already posted this photo, but I love it.
5
A kitten who came around for about a week. The EGE saw her recently in the next block, much larger and apparently staying at home.
3
Candy, chillin’.
8
This isn’t the photo he wanted, but I love it:  it perfectly shows our relationship. I’m very cautious and make no sudden moves. Candy will come to me to be fed, but the minute she’s got that pecan, she’s out of there, just in case I get any weird ideas about trying to pet her or something.
9
This is what our sunsets look like. Not every day, but often enough. I didn’t do a thing to this photo except size it—no cropping, no color enhancing, nothing. Some people say the sunsets are the best things about West Texas.

Hey, you know, Sunday is the summer solstice, a good excuse for a party, I could do a small get together here if there are other people here that you want to connect with.

What lovely pictures - I've enjoyed a more peaceful blog from you!

Gorgeous pictures.. but how do you tell a difference between Humphrey and Monk?

Carol said...

Nice pics! Larry is beautiful. I feed my squirrels peanut butter sandwiches by hand. We live in a rural area with a lot of old oaks so there are plenty of places they call home. My house is their cafe.

from a distance, they're identical, oddly enough (can't be related). but monk lives in the backyard and doesn't get out (theoretically--he hasn't been escaping lately). and humphrey never goes in the backyard, since he is not actually our cat. in fact, we think he and his family must be on vacation. or they've moved.

Great pics. I love cats. Unfortunately after years of having cats, Mr. Jazz has developed an allergy to them.

And that sunset is spectacular - we don't get much in the way of sunsets around here.

Super photos, thanks for sharing! Happy cats.

Larry, looks like he's saying this is the life. He's got it made and knows it.

How About a Little Music?
