Blowing in the wind!

This morning it was sooo windy that I actually tweeted on twitter about it at 5 something this morning!
Again I was sure that the wind was going to blow off some big ol' limbs off the pine tree in the back yard, right onto the house.

Well it did not happen here, but it happened around town, (fallen limbs)

I was hoping this would show the trees blowing, it did not, but you can see our weather was less than Hunky Dory

This one I believe you can see the willows and the background trees blowing to the right. BRRRRR!!!

In the bottom left you can see the busted branch off this young Pine tree.

Sign, sign everywheres a sign!

Intention! means "A plan of action" is what my dictionary "The American Heritage Dictionary" states. I had one today. It was to walk to the store, and then from there I was going to go and walk to our local Drs. office (Westwood Family Practice) because I wanted to get weighed. I know that sounds weird, but since I have been trying to quit smoking and have a quit date in my brain of March 1st, I have been interested in what I weigh now. Then I planned on going to our local thrift store. I have not been there in quite awhile. All that was not meant to be. As I laced up and tied my second boot strap and was ready to rock and roll down town I was met by an old friend that does live in Westwood, but whom I have not seen in a couple of years. Sooo , I had a nice enjoyable talk with my girlfriend, and we got good gossip talk going on LOL!!!
However I was in a panic on what I was to do with my picture(s) for today when she left a little after 4:15 and the sun was no longer in my favor when it came to pictures. So I will be the first to admit, that today I have odd and not "connecting" pictures for the day. On the other hand I am surprised this has not happened sooner.
So here goes!

Sooo like yesterday I found this more than pink, red, awesome in color willow. This is in the yard 2 doors down. I guess it has been been hidden under snow, OR changed colors overnight! LOL!!!

Out of the two willow pics of today, I like this the best. It is simpler or perhaps it is the rock in the background that makes me like this one better.

But this next one is my little dog "Buick". Today he saw me getting ready to take my long ass walk. The whole time he thought he was going to go (which unbeknown to him he was not going to go.) He is never allowed to go with me uptown because I have to bring his sister Nala also, and those two just do not pay attention to me, nor cars, nor anything else that has safety involved . They get waaay tooo excited.
And that is what happened as I opened my front door today as my girlfriend was leaving.

"Buick" obviously did not read the sign in his excitement

Willows in Westwood, Ca. 96137

Willows! There is something that has always fascinated me about their looks, especially this time of year. The pinks, reds, burgundy's, maroons! Red and green are my favorite colors so I suppose that I should not be that surprised with my love of their looks. Today again as I was walking, I spotted these. It is getting to be that I am worried whether I will be able to keep this up for an entire year (this blog) when it comes to a picture a day, but as far as I am concerned as long as there is something this pretty around the corner, I think I could keep it up for a lifetime!
At the bottom I am adding water effect to one of the pictures. I have waaaay to much fun with this site sometimes! LOL!!!

Yep, I love this water effect!

Water Effect

Walk with me?

Beautiful day we have here in Westwood/Pinetown Ca 96137 for sure. Here it is January 18th and the sun is out and has been out for awhile now. It has been getting into the 50's in the day here.

Today I thought I would search around the mill pond for my picture(s) today, yet once I started walking it is still quite difficult do to the snow still on the ground. So instead of just one theme for my picture(s) today I thought I would show what I saw on a very small walk on this beautiful day!

The colrs of the manzanita and the willows still reminds me of autumn,

Turn around at the same spot and you see winter and just LOOK at that MORE than blue sky! Wow!!!

And a long forgot ball . It has been here for awhile.

So that was my walk, I am glad you joined me!

PEACE!!!
