Cold, Windy, and Cloudy !


So, to gain my happy place I've downloaded another picture that makes me feel good. The palm tree in my front yard before we trimmed the fronds. I like how the brown fronds against the orange and green ones look. Lots of color variety. Then setting it against the brilliant blue sky with the sun behind it makes me feel better on this cold, windy, cloudy day. The temperature is only about 55 degrees or so. Had to turn on the heat last night and it's still on. Grumble.
That's when I come here, sit back, relax, look at all my pretty pictures and begin to feel better and once again my Oasis has helped put me into a much better mood. I like it when it's pretty and nice outside. I guess I'll sit here for awhile then get busy trying to do a little cleaning in this office. Yes! I can feel the relaxing effect of this place coming over me now. I'll post again another day as I'm leaning back in the chair, closing my eyes and enjoying.

Beautiful, Cool Day in Sunny Florida!


I'm sitting in my office at the computer and occasionally I glance out the window and see the beautiful blue sky. The wind is gently blowing causing the palm fronds to gleam in the sunlight as they wave back and forth. This is one of the things I love about where I live.
I am trying to get my office into some kind of order instead of putting up any further with all the clutter in here. When I have to pull some file or paper for my writing or business, I can't put a finger on it so I'm being firm in my resolve to clean it up. It helps that the day is wonderfully pretty. The business looks like it might beginning to grow. I've potentially got three writers interested in having Tide Dancer represent them as their publisher. All three books sound good based on the chats I had with them. So, I'm looking forward to possibly adding more authors to my company's roster. Peace and happiness are wished for you today.

Relaxing Moments


I really like how this picture turned out. The shadow of the palm tree upon the sand came out quite nicely. I took it the early part of January and the day was cold for our area. I was enjoying myself taking shots by the lakefront.


It's now after midnight and as I sit here writing this post I can hear the rain falling outside adding to the peaceful calm of the evening. Enjoy the weekend all.
