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

Hello again!
This is the first chance I've had to tend to a DP since my return from our Ladies camping trip last Wednesday night.  
However, before I begin to share any-of the many- photos from 'camping in the Sierras', I have a much higher priority: 
'McKinley'!  Today was her time to leave this world; she will be greatly missed, by many :( 
My deepest spympathies and compassion go out to our neighbors, McKinley's family.

McKinley was an incredibly beautiful, loving, wonderful, wise, sensitive, deep and old soul !!
For our dog, Roxy, McKinley was her best friend and protector.
I am very grateful and feel quite honored that we got to be a part of her life, and that she was a part of our lives!
Thank You, Chuck and Lisa for sharing her with us!
And Thank You, McKinley, for being who and what you were!!  
Much love, and many Blessings!

Hey Hillary!!  I promised you that I would post a DP of a photo from one of our annual trips!!  Here ya go!!

 MyKey and I, as well as 14 other 'Wonderful Women', will be spending next week camping together in the Sierras!! I will be pulling out of town this Sunday; I'm VERY much looking forward to our adventure!

This photo is of one of our favorite places to revisit during our annual time-away:  Florence Lake.  I took this shot in 2005 when my daughter Kamryn, MyKey and I went on this 'day excursion'.  We left our campsite in the morning, with a fabulous picnic, heading for F.L. where we rented one of these 'mini-yachts', then spent the day exploring!  The picnic was enjoyed with the sights and sounds of a beautiful waterfall, with its turquoise waters.

We have already reserved one of these same beautiful vessels for another 'day trip' this next week!  As you've probably figured out, I can hardly wait!!

Johnloguk:  FYI--the peak in the distance is Ward Mt., 10,862 ft.

I won't be able to post another DP before we head out:(

Blessings to each of you in this wonderful Daily community.  Honestly, I will miss my interraction here, and will look forward to posting a favorite shot on the day or two after our return! (July 23) 

 Be Well! Be Happy!  Live. Learn. Laugh. Love.

One of my highlights  for the last eight years is a camping trip with a group of Lady friends!
And next week is the beginning of our week-long adventure in the mountains!  Yay!!!!
We have three major rules:  "NO MEN, NO KIDS, NO WHINING!!!"
The slogan for this year: "Freeeeee, at last!!"
Last year's sogan:  "...Because we can!!"

We often refer to this trip as a week long therapy session!!  We laugh a lot!!!!
Laughter IS some of the best medicine!!

A couple of months ago, we lost a member of our 'Tribe' (as some Daily members will remember from a couple of my DP's..... here.......and here)  due to cancer :(  
While experiencing our upcoming time together, we all will be tremendously missing 
our dear Sue; aka "Pedicure Patti":(

Two years ago, she arrived at the campground wearing this particular shirt!!
This year, we will be flying this shirt as a memorial flag....in the center of the campsite!!

BTW:  I'm the second one in from the left!!  I love to water-ski!!
BTW#2:  MyKey is also a member of our Tribe!!
