Yes, It Is Spring!!!

The butterflies are back!! It's officially spring!! :)
The winter was quite mild, with two short bouts of snow, although it did get bitterly cold for a couple of days/nights both times. But, it's late March, grass is greening up, trees are blooming, and butterflies are back to make it all that much more beautiful! :)

First one of my this spring's flutterbys submitted to SS:

Chicks!!

There are CHICKS... loads of fluffy little CUTE chicks.... ready for Easter fun :)
Get yourself a smile from my port :)

It took eight days of March to get my first EL, on another butterfly photo. Now hoping for the chickies to get some... ;)

And a cute chickie in celebration of SPRING!

March is marching in

As February faded away, on the last day I got another nice EL on one of the butterflies. It was a short month that felt long due to a long wait for ELs ;)

As March arrived I was waiting for my newest Easter pics to get through review, and they got rejected for infringing my rights... yep, MY rights.
MY bad, of course, since I didn't submit a property release for my hand painted fancy eggs. OK, they are NOT so fancy, but they did take a lot of work.
So, I resubmitted with a release and am now waiting waiting waiting... and hoping hoping hoping they get through and that they sell, too. Of course, *I* think they're really cute, but it doesn't help one ounce unless the buyers think so, too, AND find them usable for their purposes... maybe a few ELs... har har har...
A Girl Must Dream, eh?

Enough of talk, let's get to commercials...
Here's the latest EL butterfly:




Let's have some MORE, now... :D

Hank rules!

February's first EL went to Hank aka The Blonde One.
I also reached my first 1000 pics online, now headed for my next full thousand ;)
Sales have been slowish in February, the EL came just in time to pick it up a little. A whole lot of picking up needs yet to happen to catch up...

Here's Hank, the cutie pie :)

February! Snow!

Yes, we finally got some snow. The forecasters called last week's storm the "Colossal Winter Storm". We got winds, snow and cold temps. And lots of beautiful snow pics!!
This week we got it again, only in a smaller scale. Less snow, less wind, but still cold... and I'm planning on getting some more nice snow pics - of the ponies, kitties and birdies!
Today I'm at 999 images and one video online - looks like the next review should get me past the first 1000 pic upload mark.

My favorite pony pic of the last "snow event"...

Almost February....

Time flies when you're having fun, and all that :)

January presented itself with TWO new ELs, one for the EL veteran image "horse butts in snow" and the other to an image of Blackie, our pretty calico kitty in late afternoon sun.

This week has been SLOW, today being the worst day of the week so far... and the weekend is yet to arrive - it will be worse! :O

It's nice and balmy outside for late January - forecast is promising us with a sunny day of 70F. I think I'll just go out and enjoy that!! :)

Here are the two EL images of the month:

Happy New Year!

2011 is here, and I wish health, happiness and prosperity to all for the New Year!!



Let there be sunshine and joy!!! :D
