A sweet furbaby and pretty flowers. Bringing a smile.

My inner voice demanded that I use as much of my new DSD 2022 stuff as soon as possible. The scary stories in the first part of October were mostly about Hurricane Ian and no way to find out how Kate was doing. Also about the viability of democracy and 2022 elections a month away.

Such an adorable spook, and I love your page design and colors. :cool:

Gorgeous flower and I love your blending and framing. Beautiful soft page.

Love this. Ours have gotten curious and watch the whole time when Stone fixes our lunch on our patio grill, and enjoy the sprinkler when he sets it in their spot.

The paper I used solved the problem of wanting an interesting bottom edge for a photo that spans two pages and the question of where to put more of my photos. :D

On our last day we finally got a sunny morning, but there was quite a bit of fog over the water. The cranes stayed long after the sun was up and less than half had flown off to the fields by the time we left the refuge. The sunrise was beautiful but it was about 31F and our fingers got too cold...

A wonderful mixed media journal page. ;)

I used Rachel's "Every Last Minute" and Lynn Grieveson's "Don't Quit." rjefferies: Every Last Minute (frame, messythread, paint, 2 jprompts, floral transfer, splatter lgrieveson: Dont Quit (Frame, 2 flowers, mm weed, paint, painted leaves, 3 papers, sequins)

On Wednesday it stayed dark later than usual because of the thick clouds at the refuge, and there weren't as many birds as on Tuesday. They all took off in small groups until none were left, and they were much quieter than on other mornings. It wasn't a great day for photography and we left early.

So beautiful and colorful!

Love your 50s vibe and you're lucky to have a photo of her to treasure. ;)

Wonderful! Love the rainbow colors reflected in the bubbles. ;)

While farther away from the cranes, I made a video to record the amazing carpet of sound coming from all the smaller birds. On Sunday in the rain, there were no blackbirds at Alamosa NWR. But on Tuesday at MVNWR there were hundreds or maybe even thousands. And it had snowed up high.

Thanks! And thanks for embracing my double page format. Makes me happy!

Beautiful! The flowers and the leaves with berries.

Beautiful and interesting page. So many design elements (patterns & colors) going together so nicely.

Thank you! I thought they were young coots because we hadn't seen the grebes at this refuge before. Now we know and don't need to worry about those young-uns.

A fun page and your word art makes me smile. Love your photo of the tree from looking up.
