We used to do this all the time...

Go ahead and post a picture of anything that makes you smile or brings you joy.

Share the happiness!


Here's my contribution:





Getting together with Orgers (pic from last night in Brooklyn with the MPLS crew).

Who are those aliens?

I can'treally decide, so I hope it's okay if I post 2. So this one, is the first real person I've drawn and it made me really proud and happy, because this was my first try.

The second one is, when I got my cat. I actually thought I was allergic to cats, because I had a really bad skin disease when I was a kid and the doctor thought it might be the cat, so we had to find her a new home. Two years ago one of my neighbours bought her and she didn't like the other cat, so the neighbour knew I was looking for a cat and that's it. She's mine now and I really, really love her. Her name is Maya <3

Sorry about the pic. It's so hit and miss. It's a big beautiful old tree. Nature shots are one thing that make me happy.

Some nature shots for you that I took:















And sharks are nature, too, right?

Nice

I have some kind of psychological connection to these creatures that I have only recently become very consciously aware of.

Good stuff! White Dude, what a great drawing, can't believe it's your first. Benni, your kids are amazing. Your younger son really favors you going by the photo you posted awhile ago.

Let me die here:

No. One of my ebay chat buddies posted it and I loved it too. I can't figure out how to post my own photos for some damn reason. I know I'm missing something simple but I keep getting the dreaded black x. I do have a cool blue eyed cat, Iris. The other day she was sleeping under a prism and had rainbows all over her.

How do I upload my own photos from a laptop? I have Win 10 and am dyslexic. Get things backwards a lot.

You have to have them posted somewhere online. Usually, I share mine on FB or Twitter. But there are photosharing sites too.

Once you have them posted online, right click on the picture and click on "copy image address".

When you want to post it in your post, up above where it has the B, I, U, etc., you'll see an image for a tree. Click on that and a box will pop up. Paste the image address into the right place and select the top, bottom, wherever you want it aligned on the page, and then click insert.

Well, that's how I do it anyway.

Was visiting a client a couple of days ago and he had 5 kittens outside and the mama cat. He didn't want the kittens. I asked him if he had any kitty food, anything to give them, because they seemed really hungry. He said he didn't and he didn't plan on buying any. "If they starve, they starve." I asked if he was giving them away. He told me to take all 5 of them. I know my two youngest, I come home with 5 kittens and I will then be a household of 2 dogs, a cockatiel, hamster (who just passed away), and 5 kittens. I ended up with two, and called the ladies at work. They got together and picked up the other 3 and the mama cat. So, the Tortoise colored kitty is my son's Dakota, and he named him "Ahrman" and the black kitty is my daughter's Cara (who, when she saw them, said "awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" for like 5 minutes without a breath and her face lit up and she said, "I'M IN LOVE!") and she named her "Andromeda". Whatever happened to names like Tiger and Blackie?

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Don't even know what Arhman is, lol. He might be a girl, tortys usually are, but not always. Thanks for the photo tips benni!

I misspelled it. It's Ahriman (kind of sounds like airy man). He got it from Warhammer (a game he loves to play). But Ahriman is definitely a boy. We're just not sure about the black kitty yet, Andromeda. (By gosh I'm calling that one Andi when Cara isn't here!)

And I love that picture of the kitties with the pumpkin. Hmm, may have to try something like that this year, get some pictures of them. Hmmmm....

And you're welcome. Hope it helped!
