A few weeks ago I introduced you to my new photographic friend, the gnome, Martin “Marty” McGnome. I didn’t mention then that I also had a few other characters along for the ride.
Meet Oliver “Ollie” the Elf and his faithful, yet slow mount, Simon the Snail!
HI HO, SIMON!!
Until next time…

It’s time for something funny and totally random.
We’ve all heard about food (especially potato chips) that’s randomly shaped like people or objects. We’ve all heard about the grilled cheese sandwich that supposedly had the face of the Madonna (the mother of Jesus, not the musician!) on it, the…what was it…a quesadilla? with an image of Jesus… So, it’s not too far-fetched to think a piece of food could look like an emoticon.
That’s what happened to me after my mother baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies a while ago.
Why so sad, cookie? Wait, what’s that? You don’t want to be eaten? Sorry, can’t help you there. [-_^]
Until next time…

Last week I mentioned how I found a new partner in crime for photography on my hikes and I asked my readers if they had any suggestions for names other than “Norm the Gnome“ as that‘s the name of the gnome my mother has (I got her into photography a long time ago and photographing figurines recently)…
I received one reply on my Facebook page. Just one. Kind of sad seeing as I have over 100 readers/followers. Are you folks awake out there?
Anyway, the suggestion was spot on so I guess that makes up for it.
Meet Martin “Marty” McGnome! (Thanks Nikki!) [^_^]
Mr. Martin “Marty” McGnome
Expect to be seeing more from my adventures with Mr. McGnome along with a few new characters in the future.
Until next time…

A while back I mentioned how I was exploring something a little whimsical by taking photos of different action figures and toys while on my hikes. Well, on a recent trip to a craft store, I found my new partner in crime…
A photographer Gnome!
I’ve already taken him on a few excursions as evidenced by the photo above, but I don’t know what to name him. Norm is taken (my mother found a Gnome for her own photos), plus, I’m not a big fan of the name Norm anyway (no offense to any of my readers that may be named Norm or some variation thereof!).
Any suggestions for a name for my new photographer Gnome? Leave a comment and let me know!
Until next time…

It’s been a long running joke between me and my parents that our house isn’t really ours, that it really belongs to our cats and they just let us live there to act as their staff; cleaning their messes, feeding them, and fulfilling roles as furniture for them.
It may be a joke, but there’s a huge grain of truth in it. I mentioned before that whenever I get a new soft blanket, it doesn’t remain mine for long as one of my cats confiscates it.
Whenever I get up from wherever I was sitting one of the two female cats steals my seat. It happens with my desk chair (which can be really annoying especially if I’m just getting up from writing in order to stretch for a moment or use the bathroom), my chair at the kitchen table, my spot on the couch, another chair in the living room, even my bed.
Kenzi is typically the culprit, but Abby does the same thing too…
Think she’s comfy enough?
Until next time…
