Wordless Wednesday #11 – What Am I

Posted on April 13, 2016 by fundinmental

Wordless Wednesday #11 is an opportunity to share your photos or photos you love.

What do you see?

This photo was from last weeks Wordless Wednesday.

I have been working on the yard all week and found this pretty at my favorite ‘hardware’ store. It is named after what it looks like – a Red Shrimp plant. Living on the Gulf Coast, how could I not add one of these to my garden collection? I had never seen or heard of it before and I love it.

Now, for this weeks photo…

Wordless Wednesday #8 – What Am I

Wordless Wednesday #8 is an opportunity to share your photos or photos you love.

What do you see?

This photo was from last weeks Wordless Wednesday.

I can’t really decide what I see. There is wispy smoke rising inside the bubble. The softness and curves make me think it is very sensual. Could that be a pair of legs with pink socks straddling…something? 😳

My Adventures – 2016 St Patty’s Road Trip

Posted on March 17, 2016 by fundinmental

Mr Wonderful and I were off on our 2016 St Patty’s Road Trip, heading to New Orleans and Louisiana, for the St Patty’s Parade in Metarie.

This time, I was on my toes and as we passed the lot for movie props, I was able to get a few shots out the car window. It’s not every day I see a UFO and the odd assortment of vehicles, from buses to police cars.

We lived in Mobile, Alabama, back in the 90’s and Mr Wonderful belonged to a Mardi Gras association, the Pharoahs. We would jump on a bus and a bunch of us would head to New Orleans for the St Patty’s Parade, so we are familiar with the event. But it is New Orleans, so you never know what you might come across…

It starts out with walking groups. This parade is different from all the Mardi Gras parades. They allow you to walk in the street and approach the guys with flowers and beads, trading a smooch for a trinket…

The day was gorgeous, blue skies, lots of sunshine, floats and beads. The St Patty’s parade also differs from Mardi Gras parades by the stuff they toss. It’s not just beads and toys, but vegetables, everything you need for an Irish stew except for the meat. They toss heads of cabbage, onions, carrots and lemons. Ya gotta keep your eyes peeled because they can take you out.

The parade goes on for hours and after five of them, we were ready to move on, so it was off to Biloxi. We did some sight seeing, heading to the Pass Christian area, driving the coastline. It was windy and the sand drifted and piled up like the snow up north. The Gulf Coast area has still not completely recovered from Hurricane Ivan and Hurricane Katrina and I myself doubt if some of the people will ever come back. Me…I just cannot stay away.

I mean…look at that view. Even on a bad day, the sun shines through the clouds. Good food, good views and good company. So, if you are ever in the area, stop by for a cocktail at the beach. You won’t regret it.

Wordless Wednesday #7 is an opportunity to share your photos or photos you love.

What do you see?

This photo was from last weeks Wordless Wednesday.

I see different things in different squares on the floor. In this one, I see mountains with a river running along their edge and a valley on the other side. Do you see the river (the darker strip meandering along the lighter one)?

Raindrops keep falling on my pool…
(c) Sherry Fundin

We had a little bit of rain this week and cooler weather at night but I have been spending some time outside, getting a head start on the yard. The pool is sparkly clear and I feel like jumping in, very soon. I have also been going through my email files, moving and deleting, organizing them better. Spring cleaning my computer is as important as spring cleaning my house…but it takes so darn long and my eyes are crossing. I do feel a sense of accomplishment. Now…on to some more fun stuff.

NEW TO fundinmental

I won Colton’s Surprise Heir by Addison Fox, Book II in The Coltons of Texas romantic suspense series on Freda’s Voice. Thank you ladies and I look forward to reading it…soon.

FOR REVIEW

Pam Garcia offered me a copy of Europa: Awakenings, the first book of the Eruopa series for review. When I saw the cover…and read the blurb, there was no denying, I HAD to have it. Science fiction and fantasy are taking me on a trip to the underwater world of Atlantis. After reading about the author and her love of the ocean and all its critters, I can hardly wait to get started. A woman after my own heart!

I read this first book, Betrayed by Jaye Frances and loved it (see my review and enter the giveaway here), so I am excited to get my hands on Book II of the World Without Love series, Reunion (erotica). It’s unusual for me to read erotica, but I love Jaye Frances’ writing and there is so much more to the story than sex. It deals with the subject of human trafficking and the enslavement of women.

I will be reviewing Silenced in the Surf by Kate Dyer Seeley for a tour in April. Available for Pre-order. This item will be released on March 29, 2016. This is the third book in the Pacific Northwest Mystery series and I am excited to dive right in. I got all three books signed by the author, so get ready for some cozy mystery murders. They are in the correct reading order in the pic below and normally I would begin with the first book in the series, Scene of the Climb, but I want to make sure I get Silenced in the Surf done in time for the tour…

Wordless Wednesday #5 is an opportunity to share your photos or photos you love.

What do you see?

This photo was from last weeks Wordless Wednesday.

I thought this may not be very challenging, but the damn thing kept staring at me.

I moved HIM into the tree, and when I got up the next morning…there HE was, back in front of the TV, with his tongue sticking out at me and those big buggy eyes.

Wordless Wednesday #4 – What Am I

Posted on February 24, 2016 by fundinmental

Wordless Wednesday #4 is an opportunity to share your photos or photos you love.

What do you see?

This photo was from last weeks Wordless Wednesday.

I loved Taylor Dean’s guess…a dragon. Way to go Taylor. Dragon’s are one of my favorite fictional critters.

The first time I saw this I thought it was cool and slid it into the photo album page. Mr Wonderful and I were scanning photos from our cruises and the image in the center jumped out at me.

OMG! Steven Ray Vaughn walks on water!

Do you see him?

Right above the copyright is the torso of a man. He is wearing a hat and playing a guitar. Do you see the headstock? I even see his hand, right above the “rry”. Under the copyright, his long flowing black coat meets the water. He is surrounded by wings.

This one of my favorite ever sunset photographs I have taken.

Wordless Wednesday – What Am I

Posted on February 17, 2016 by fundinmental

Wordless Wednesday is an opportunity to share your photos or photos you love.

What do you see?

This photo was from last weeks Wordless Wednesday. There were some great guesses at what this was. I saw Santa Claus and now that I look at it, I cropped it a little too much. I forgot his beard. LOL You can hop on over to see what others thought by Clicking Here.

The photo was taken at Niagara Falls on a bitter cold day.
