1. Daily Photos

My Task At Hand

My version of "Daily Photos" will be ever-so-typical of myself: 'A Different Little Twist'!! I'm using this gallery as an impetus: one of my present goals is to add several photos per day into this website. As I'm doing so, I will choose one of the photos to include in this 365 day project! (If I experience a difficult time choosing which image to use as my 'Daily Photo', I'll add the other choice(s) into my Contender gallery) Occasionally, there will be days when the photo was actually taken on that particular day! This will probably be governed by available time and my creative spirit! The photos within this gallery are available to order as prints and other merchandise; click on the 'buy' icons. I will appreciate any comments and/or critiques; click on the 'add comments' on the bottom left, and please include your name! You can also vote on the photos, if you choose; drag your pointer onto the enlarged image on the right; a box will appear on the top right which allows the voting process. Just click either yea-or-nay! Thank you for visiting this Gallery, and I hope you enjoy the photos presented here! © Copyright 2009 Lady Kates Photography

After working at the 'Part-Time Job', I decided that my little best-buddy and I would go for a late afternoon drive, heading eastward in search of nature (especially wildflowers), solitude and peace!  We found it all !!   The Shell Creek area (several square miles), in particular, always provides a 'sextacular' spring show!  The flowers will be in their full splendor in about 2-3 more weeks. Today, it was mostly blues and yellows.

My forever loyal and loving companion here is 'Roxy'; she is my shadow (lol!  well, not in this photo!).  After finding a good location, with quite a bit of flower color, Roxy and I set out on our walk.  We'd been sitting at this spot--just listening, watching and being--when I started thinking about the DP which Kerry Ellis posted on March 21 !  I'm not sure if I ever even commented on it; certainly meant to, if I didn't. Kerry: March 21
 What Kerry wrote, to accompany her photo, moved me to tears!  And you're looking at the reason why! 
 Roxy and I were enjoying our time together, and I knew then, that my DP needed to be a photo of her and I together. Just where do you suppose the tripod was? Yes! In the car!  So, here it is; the best I could do! (Seeing as I liked those three trees in the background!)
Roxy is 12 yrs. old; we've had her since she fit in my husband's hand!  Within this last year, she has lost her hearing (breaks my heart) and her sight is on it's way out. So, Kerry, I took this photo, then gave her a treat and she and I sat in this meadow with the sun setting behind us. I  laid with her, snuggled her, nuzzled my face in her fur!!
We know that her time for departure is drawing near.  I will miss her more than I can possibly express.

With this flu thing, I have definitely not reached 100% back to my norm (LOL! Some of my family and friends might say "Good!" to that!).
With one of my little surges of energy today, I went outside and this tree greeted me!!  Like many of the other flowering trees, it only looks like this for @ three weeks.
Then, those tiny purple blossoms turn into - -yes! Ladies!  Heart-shaped leaves!!  
When they're in blossom, and there's a grouping of them (some of which will be older and bigger than this one) it is truly a spectacular sight! The name is Western Redbud (Cercis).
