lavendertook	11:15p	Project Kitty Smial A belated Happy Birthday to aprilkat!!! And thank you to rubynye for the terrific self-designed card and to annwyn55 for the lovely card and bookmark I get to plant in the spring. (-: I spent most of Saturday working on making the extra booda litter box into a kitty shelter for the garage strays, and brought it out there Caturday night, since it was supposed to rain all day Sunday. I wasn't sure if they would find where I put it, so I trailed treats from the garage to the shelter. When I turned back to the garage, I saw these 2 little faces watching me. "WTF is the hoomin doing now?" So yeah, they definitely saw the new shelter. And keep in mind there is a trail of treats on the ground they haven't touched yet because the entertainment value I provide takes priority for these two. I couldn't tell this morning if they had used the shelter yet or not, but I can guarantee these two checked it out after I left. The blankets inside were dry, so it's working. Once they get used to it, I'll put some tarp over the entrance for better protection from the weather, but I don't want to make the entrance smaller yet until they've claimed it.

lavendertook	11:04p	Tree-lined Path Happy Chanukah!!! I skipped over photoing the southwest branch this round, and now we're on the south side heading east and back to where we started. The last of the afternoon sun lights the trees on this part of the path. There are some houses off to the right side, so it's not quite as secluded as the view looking toward the lake suggests.

lavendertook	11:00p	Kissing the Treetops Goodnight The treetops, together with their reflection in the lake, look like fiery lips, the setting sun kissing the tops of the trees goodnight. We're looking from the southwest corner of the lake back toward the stone landings. That red ball in the middle is the sugar maple I showed you a few entries before. It don't need no stinking sun touching it to shine brightly. I only wish we had some blue sky in this shot. ( Come see the trees the sun has kissed . . . ) (Comment on this)

lavendertook	10:37p	From the setting sun's point of view Here's the view walking south along the western bank of Greenbelt Lake, looking eastward as the sun heads towards the horizon. On a windy day, this stretch picks up nice breezes and scents off the lake with an ocean flavor. The water mallows and passion flowers that grow along the bank here come to full bloom in August and September, and I'll show you some pics I took of those as the winter deepens. On the down side, you can hear a fairly constant buzz of traffic from the intersection of the interstate and the parkway nearby.

lavendertook	11:40p	More views from the Maxfield Parrish-verse Just some more golden otherworldly views of sunset in autumn on Greenbelt Lake. Here we're looking back at the stone landings we passed as we now look toward the east end of the lake. ( Follow if you will . . . ) (Comment on this)

Thank you to delux_vivens and strangemuses for the lovely virtual snowflake cookies and to shirebound and romeny for the lovely holiday cards! Finally,continues Bingo and Sam's adventures while claudia603 visited for the TTT Symphony Moot at the end of August. It comes to a close with a trip to Annapolis, MD on Sunday. We all walked around old town a bit and then decided to take a harbor cruise on the Chesapeake Bay. Sam: I don't know about getting on no boat for to have fun, Bingo-love . . . Bingo: Trust me, Sam, it will be quite romantic. And I promise to hold you tight the entire time. Sam: Well, in that case, all right. ( Cruising with hobbits . . . ) (2 Comments |Comment on this)
