…. who says you can never have too much of a moment of cuteness.

Who is Roxette Bunny™? She’s my faithful companion, who used to maintain a website (which hasn’t been updated in forever at http://roxettebunny.com ).
She’s appeared in several photo shoots, including some that were shot at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront:

and at the church I used to go to — Pembroke Manor United Church of Christ, where she appeared with the Choir:

She also graced a Holiday Card with me!

Of course, she did enjoy her time in Nags Head, too.

One house.

Maybe this is where Dorothy Gale’s house was? I mean, we did have a tornado go through the area a while back.
Silver Blue, who needed a good laugh after the headache I’ve had the past couple days.

Thank you to everyone who has sent me kind words on the Silver Blue Photography site. Those little words of encouragement mean more than I could ever properly let you know. This rose is for you.
Silver Blue, who wonders where the weekend went.

When I was in Florida in 2005, I came across a composite photo that I loved, though it never existed.

Marilyn Monroe and James Dean were never photographed together that I have ever been able to find, and CERTAINLY not in this intimate of a setting.
Still, the print brings me great joy and, in fact, hangs in my living room.
Silver Blue, who wonders how many other photos I like and enjoy have been composites…

I have to wonder if a toddler tossed this and it ended up by a flower bed; if a dog was chasing it, but called back before he could retrieve it; if a person was playing rebound off a garage wall and missed it with a racquet and because it was dusk, couldn’t find the ball to put it away for the night.
In any event, it made for an interesting shot in the morning light.
Silver Blue, who asks what in the world around you have you noticed that brings you joy?

It’s a bird… it’s a plane…. It’s SUPER MOON! No… silly… not this time. It’s the wind vane atop the Wren Building on the campus of the College of William and Mary:

LOVE the way this one turned out. It’s one of many that will be going up (eventually) to the SmugMug site.
Silver Blue, who needs a frosty bevvie in this heat!

I can see it!

Well, maybe I can’t, but HE can. That’s John Wareing (1923-2000), Virginia Beach Police Officer, Trainer, and more. (He served in the US Navy and founded Wareing’s Gym in Virginia Beach.)
So, what can HE see, that I can’t? He can see the progress made on the official galleries, etc. He can see that photos are flowing up to the SmugMug site. He can see… lots of things.
I can’t wait to be able to make the post that allows you to, too. It’s coming! Soon!
Silver Blue, who is consumed with excitement!

…bit by bit.

Just as roses don’t bloom all at once, it takes time to achieve one’s dreams.
With every step I take, I’m one step closer to my dream.
Silver Blue, who will be continuing to work on stuff once I’m home.
