The Pumpkins Go Trick Or Treating







They just showed up on my doorstep!

(Actually it is our grand total harvest of pumpkins this year.)

Wait! One of these is an Alien!!!! We are not alone!

(...or a Blue Hubbard squash...)

Happy Halloween!!!

PS: Please read more about the pumpkins under their photo descriptions at my Flickr Photo/Art dump site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aliennightbird

Happy Halloween...from the ghost that was me






Boo!

How do you like my costume?

Wait a minute! What costume!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Yaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!

(OK, here's the scoop. It's my husband's John's bathrobe with me in it.

(My own robe was badly in need of a wash, and it was cold in the house. I needed more than flannels.

((Turning on the heat is a horrible admission of defeat...the end of summer and warm! So, we don't usually turn the heater on until it is consistently COLD.)

(Well, I was swamped in John's bathrobe... several inches hang over my hands, hood draping down to my nose, so I asked John to take a picture.

(Little did I know....)

Yaaaaahhhhhh! It's the BATHROBE that changed!!!! Get away, Evil Thing!

(Jeez, it was just Photoshop!)

PS: Please, read more of about my Photoshop manipulations in the photo descriptions at my Flickr website, http://www.flickr.com/photos/aliennightbird

Wait!...Is it possible?...Dare I hope???...Could it be....

...another Alien? Like me?....

The mists of this strange planet must be affecting this computer...




Where are my photo's I uploaded?!?!?!?!?

Ok, I guess, I have to read "Terms of Service" again.

(Sigh...here we goooooo......)

Well, this is an interesting way to start out a blog...

Hi, everybody. Well, here I am. My launch sequence is finally completed and I am raring to go...Sort of...

It appears that if I want to upload a picture for my profile, I have to post it to my blog first, since I cannot get the URL right for the photos and paintings.

So, here goes attempt number two for uploading a pic for my profile.

Now, for this particular blog, I think I will keep it for my own personal musings. I am planning to set up several blogs: one for our (my husband, John's and mine) bird's gossip column (yes, Sunshine, the sun conure and Whisper, Pastel, and Pixie, the cockatiels have plenty to say, even if I have to translate, and not very effectively); one for my art and writings (family oriented, whimsical, oil paintings), and perhaps another for art that may not be, shall we say, family oriented (tasteful, G-rated nudes, but nudes none-the-less...don't worry, I will label this blog for over-18 viewing...and there are few, if none)...or themes that are not exactly family oriented, perhaps one for cartooning and animation.

I plan to make this my main blog page, but cross-link everything from there.

As for now, my photos, art and our fids (that means Feathered Kids) are hiding out on Flickr.

Now, what did I forget. Hmmmm...Oh, yes...the link! You might need that!

I hope to add a sense of humor and silliness to things as well, and I hope you can laugh. But, some things will be serious....
