Out the Door L
Sit for a Spell
Posted by Lorraine (Gatineau, Canada) on 25 October 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
Photography takes a lot of my time lately, but that's okay, 'cause I have nothing else to do (BIG GRIN) that's why I always answer all comments. Believe me, it's not because I'm a Saint. Unless they have one called St. Impatient, that would be me.
The point of this chitchat is to let you know, and no pressure there, 'cause I know all of you have a lot of things to do. Still, fyi I also have 3 other blogs:
one for photo ( might put my foot in my mouth here if am3 friends start visiting I'll have to be bloody sure I don't repeat any)
it's called: http://photol.blogspot.com/
I have one where I sometimes speak, sometimes write poetry, sometimes write comedy and when I have nothing to say,I post a photo, or mock official translation.
it's called: http://wordsandstuffl.blogspot.com/
Then I have my cat ones, believe it or not I have 2-3 fans that Love my kittens, and I aim to please.
it's called: http://catsl.blogspot.com/
As in AM3, I answer all comments.
Did I mention, I have nothing to do?

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Wow Lorraine, you must spend a huge amount of time doing your blogging and photography. But sharing your photos alone must make it all worthwhile. BTW, this is a very warm and welcoming shot, that makes you want to do just exactly what the title suggests.

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Vf yes indeed LOL and the title was meant for all my wonderful visitors, that they may sit and take a deep breath, thanks so much :)

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Love the mix and match of leaf shape and colour.
You do keep busy with all those blogs. I wish I could find more time to dedicate to blogging, but something else always comes up, and I'm left with a few minutes here and there, and thats when I can find a PC to work on, as the rest of the family always get there first !!!
25 Oct 2007 9:22pm
@Richard_Irwin: LOL Richard, so You have a life...then I fell blessed that you manage to visit me, thanks a lot for that :)
@Jen: Thanks a lot Jen, more to come...:)
Rebecca from Leicester, United Kingdom
lol :o) Please count me in for the virtual coffee with the ladies!!! Definitely my idea of heaven this side of eternity ;) Speaking of heaven, this picture today is sooooo inviting, dear lady, it reminds me of how I’d picture heaven on the other side of eternity as well!! :) Thank you so much too for sharing with us the info about your other blogs…. I especially like “Dreams of Moka” at PhotoL, again for the same heaven-ly reasons!! :) lol . And WOW, dear lady, you are sooooo gifted!!! Seriously. I’ve so much enjoyed visiting your other blogs even in the little time this evening. I really like the way you write, and it was a bonus discovering that your favourite food is sushi; sushi and sashimi are among my all-time favourite foods and I soooo miss my sushi/sashimi chill-out meals with good friends back home in S’pore!! Ok, am digressing now, so had better round off this comment, before I go on and on also about how much Jeff likes cats, and your gorgeous cat blog!! :) In summary, again, love this, love this, love this!! :)
26 Oct 2007 1:35am
@Rebecca: Ha, Rebecca dear m'lady, you're certainly with us, and what a pleasure it'll be to look after Elise LOL thanks for the lovely compliments...ahhh now I'm craving sushi and sashimi, I know a good place we can go to after the coffee ;)
Rags from Plano, United States
You may have "nothing" to do but you take awesome pictures! I love the composition in this one. You seem to have put a lot of thought in making this image. is that a wooden hand in the background?
26 Oct 2007 2:36am
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Thanks a lot Rags and thanks for visiting one of my blogs, it was nice to see you there. There are so many wooden structures in Moka Loca, which I will post in the future as well :)

Jasp from Plymouth, United Kingdom
And you have written a book, which I have read to Chapter 9 but have not had a lot of time lately to continue...keep meaning to pick it up again. Anyway....love those leaves !
26 Oct 2007 6:26pm
@Jasp: Aren't you sweet, and I have written many books, this one's my fav. although admitedly it has too many stories in it and at one point realized that I had at least 4 books in there, so I started dividing and I had finished at least the first one and was on the second when I realized that I love the whole thing together and since I don't care about being published I decided to leave it as it it. I just need to write. ANd thanks so much for making it to chapter 9
and for visiting me :)
Marina from Lisboa, Portugal

I would love to sit here for a spell Lorraine! Geez, I wish I had nothing to do! LOL This looks like a beautiful spot.
