This little one has found a place to rest on my arm, while I'm sipping tea and smoking lol.. 20mins n counting

@Dawni those things here are flies that bite, or it looks like the ones we have here.
It is pretty though

quit smoking so bad for you and not going to help with the Hand/Foot/Mouth. I would hate to think that it might make it go deeper in the throat or lungs.

I know It's just hard to not have one when you're tired and thinking about stuff... And it's raining, and there's chai haha. Cigarettes n chai just go so well together lol. I know, excuses, but really, I've been trying to cut down and I'd like to think I'm successful. I only have a couple a day, too busy for more lol.

This pretty thing didn't bite. I think. It didn't wanna leave even when I was moving my hand around lol

That is so cute the bug staying with you. I bet it was trying to make you smile

Pretty bug, Dawni. I wish I had a photo of this, but don't. A couple days ago, while we were still on the Big Island of Hawaii, sitting at the airport killing time while waiting for our flight, my granddaughter caught a bird in her hand and held it up for us to see. But grandpa told her to let it go, which she immediately did and I have no snapshot to share. I was amazed she could catch one at all, of course. And then of course, I did the responsible thing and made her wash her hands thoroughly with soap and water.

Here's a fun photo I snapped while we strolled in Honolulu today:

A swan emerges from within the ginger leaf. A fairy tale in the making, yes?

This is where I was last week. Man, I love this lake. The water looks like glass. This pic is unfiltered and has had no alterations. The water looks like glass, and the pic itself looks like a postcard. I love my camera for nature pics!! (Too bad I can't take product photos as well!!)

This is in Leadville, Colorado, where "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" (famous for surviving the titanic) made her millions. She was a silver miner, turned gold miner when the silver exchange rate tanked over night. It's also got the highest mean elevation in the entire nation, at almost 2 miles high - 10,151 feet.

Anyway the lake is called Turquoise Lake and it's one of my favorite places to be in Colorado.

I don't like Lake Dillon, Cee, it's too crowded, not fun to camp in, and seriously not near as beautiful as Turquoise is.

 

[Dawni]

Thank you.. I looked it up. Gorgeous place...

 

[Nanette]

I'll take anywhere theres a lake.......

Oh, dumb me... I thought all those colorful stones were soaps! And somebody spliced them into a photo! Wouldn't that be cool? Well, it is a cool photo any way. Thanks for sharing!
