As We Walk in Fields of Gold

As We Walk in Fields of Gold

I introduced a friend to the music, and the story, of Eva Cassidy a while ago and I've had it in my mind since I first saw this beautiful field of radiant colour at the Yorkshire Dales a couple of months ago to use the space for a picture. So...voilà! I loved the Yorkshire Moors [...]

When I Saw Her Standing There…

I completely made the most of having my friend Joe come and pose for me for these pictures today (thank you Joe). I think I took something like 12 original raw shots and choosing which 3 to put into this post was incredibly tough because I loved all of them. The feature pic of the [...]

For the first time in about 5 years I moved to a tropical sandy sim. I've had forest/grass sims but I figured a change was as good as a rest and for summer blogging the sandy sim would be much better.  It was a good omen as I was excited to hear that I've been [...]

#BecauseOfSecondLife Challenge

Strawberry Singh had instructions for another great Monday Meme on her blog today and this one was inspired by my friend and enthusiastic Second Life and Virtual World advocate Draxtor Despres.  I love these challenges and when I saw this one hundreds of thoughts raced through my head. So here are a few of mine: [...]
