Anyway, I hadn't got any bites for awhile, so I started looking around me at the trees, the reflections in the lake, etc.  I heard a little 'plop', and when I looked down, I noticed that one of the leaves in the water had eyes. hehe  We played "peek-a-boo" with each other for quite awhile until he got bored with me.  I'd have jumped in with him, but Hubs would have insisted I dry off before I got in the vehicle to ride home, and I didn't have one of those &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.handdryersandmore.com/"&gt;hand dryers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; with me. hehe  However, if we were to have caught a great big fish, he wouldn't have hesitated to put IT in the vehicle! ahahahaha  I love going fishing with Hubs!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Click on the badge at the top of this post to join in on this fun meme!)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6392114843265838398-2015139677662209487?l=www.mistyswords.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.mistyswords.com/2009/11/abc-wednesday-peek-boo.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Misty Dawn)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9FRTuU7aicc/SugE-agrZWI/AAAAAAAACmo/FdiNJLaZWcI/s72-c/ABC+Wed.gif" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">10</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392114843265838398.post-8563402237798002929</guid><pubDate>Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-11-02T19:02:03.870-06:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Ten on Tuesday</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">internet time wasters</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">blogging meme</category><title>Ten on Tuesday *Internet Time Wasters*</title><description>&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="entrydate"&gt;&lt;span class="style2"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.yanowhatimean.com/tuesday/"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eiLfFnMDLsQ/RzC1XQ-d6qI/AAAAAAAAA8E/Nua7l6CbsDk/s320/10+on+Tues.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5129799386873588386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For This week's &lt;a href="http://www.yanowhatimean.com/tuesday/"&gt;Ten on Tuesday&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;10 Ways to Waste Time on the Internet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;(I should have absolutely NO trouble with this one.&lt;br /&gt;I spend the majority of my life on the internet!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  Facebook&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;(Heck I could make a list of ways to waste time solely on Facebook! Farmville, Farmtown, Wordscraper, Status Updates, Bejeweled... etc, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  IM Chatting&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;(I'm pretty much carrying on a conversation with someone via an instant messenger at all times I'm on the computer.  I chat on AIM, Windows Live/MSN Messenger, Yahoo, Gmail, and Facebook.  Yes, I probably need an intervention.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;3.  E-mail Forwards&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(I currently have 547 unread messages in my inbox... that's down from over 700.  I get SO many of those "forwarded" e-mails, and I just don't have enough time to look at them all.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;4.  Blogging&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(I personally don't consider this a 'waste' of time, but it's one of the ways I spend the most time on the internet.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;5.  Flickr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(See #4 above.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;6.  Twitter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(I personally don't spend much time on there.  It just hasn't 'clicked' for me yet, but I know a LOT of people spend a LOT of time on there)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;7.  Online Games&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(I play all of mine on Facebook, but there are many, many online games)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;8.  Message Boards/Forums&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(I have spent a LOT of time in a Border Collie forum and a forum created by my favorite author, Sara Donati.

I just couldn't help myself - it's appropriate for both Macro Monday and Mellow Yellow Monday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I initially was uploading this for Macro Monday, and then I realized it would be perfect for the Mellow Yellow Monday Meme, which I've seen on some of my friends' blogs but haven't participated in yet.

It's called Straight Out Of the Camera (SOOC) Sunday. I think I'm going to really, really enjoy this meme, as the only restrictions are: You take the photo yourself and no photo alterations/manipulations are allowed other than cropping - hence the "Straight Out Of the Camera" part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've decided to play SOOC Sunday on both blogs.  I hope that's O.K.  My SOOC Sunday on my &lt;a href="http://www.mistysmusings.com"&gt;other blog&lt;/a&gt; has been posted for awhile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For my first SOOC Sunday post on this blog, I chose an image I took yesterday.  I really like the colors and bokeh in this image and don't feel that it requires much adjustment.  So, I thought it would be perfect for this meme!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eiLfFnMDLsQ/Su2ReS9uiBI/AAAAAAAAF3I/U3C2x__CFd0/s1600-h/DSC09485sooc.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eiLfFnMDLsQ/Su2ReS9uiBI/AAAAAAAAF3I/U3C2x__CFd0/s400/DSC09485sooc.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399131477959936018" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;(c) Misty DawnS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you'd like to play this fun meme, click on the badge at the top of this page.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6392114843265838398-4105663825280101704?l=www.mistyswords.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.mistyswords.com/2009/11/sooc-sunday-berries-bokeh.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Misty Dawn)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pKcnmYTevYU/SuJdmJhQJkI/AAAAAAAARzk/qz-_spR1Xok/s72-c/SOOC+Sundayjpg.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392114843265838398.post-5591675852660409014</guid><pubDate>Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-31T07:00:03.153-05:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">whitetail deer</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">animal photography</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">photography meme</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Camera-Critters Meme</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">nature photography</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">wildlife</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">photo meme</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">weekend meme</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">deer</category><title>Camera-Critters #82</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://camera-critters.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188422296212025762" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; cursor: pointer; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eiLfFnMDLsQ/SAD6lsZvMaI/AAAAAAAACCw/SrKKC4ME6AI/s400/Camera+Critters+Post+Header2a.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;I was recovering from the flu.  I thought I was better, and I decided to go for a walk, because it was a nice day.  Halfway through the walk, I realized that I was really pushing myself, because I was wearing out real fast, and my legs were not cooperating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I still pushed, because my theory is that if you sit and do nothing, then you definitely won't have any energy.  So, I continued walking.  Unfortunately, I was concentrating more on convincing my legs to carry me further than I was concentrating on my surroundings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually, I'm focused on every little movement, every flash of color, every slight sound... this day, I was not so focused.  That would be the reason why my heart jumped into my throat when I heard a loud ruckus almost right next to me, and then this jumped out of the woods right in front of me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eiLfFnMDLsQ/Sut5um9opTI/AAAAAAAAF24/uQEsxpoNhrg/s1600-h/DSC09404a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eiLfFnMDLsQ/Sut5um9opTI/AAAAAAAAF24/uQEsxpoNhrg/s400/DSC09404a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398542419973678386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;(c) Misty DawnS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think we were both equally surprised to see each other.&lt;br /&gt;I was very grateful to see her, but was she grateful?&lt;br /&gt;I'm thinking, not so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eiLfFnMDLsQ/Sut5ukmo_fI/AAAAAAAAF2w/dCNwASvBoqI/s1600-h/DSC09405a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eiLfFnMDLsQ/Sut5ukmo_fI/AAAAAAAAF2w/dCNwASvBoqI/s400/DSC09405a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398542419340361202" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;(c) Misty DawnS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lemme tell ya - humans wouldn't be worried about &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lipovox.com/"&gt;weight loss pills&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; if we could all move like this!

It is actually THIS week which is unfortunately the last week for Heads or Tails. It has been a fun and wonderful meme from start to finish - thanks to the hard work of the HoT hostess, Barb. Thank you Barb for everything you put into this meme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The theme for the final week of Heads or Tails is "Edge". When the coin lands on its edge, we are permitted to choose any past theme.  I also happen to personally know Barb, and I know that she really enjoys when we &lt;s&gt;break the rules&lt;/s&gt; think outside of the box when it comes to our Heads or Tails posts.  Therefore, I'm &lt;s&gt;cheating&lt;/s&gt; combining two past themes.  I'm combining theme #65-Share an Autumn Memory and theme #77-A Love Story.  Then, I want to say...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a title="MySpace Graphics" href="http://www.allmyspacegraphics.com/" border="0"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s103/yourspacecooment/anniversary/allmyspacegraphics16.jpg" alt="MySpace Graphics" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a title="MySpace Graphics" href="http://www.allmyspacegraphics.com/index.html" target="_self"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h191/curion123/myspacegraphics.gif" width="47" border="0" height="48" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=6392114843265838398" alt="MySpace Graphics" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, our HoT hostess Barb and her hubby will be "sharing an autumn memory" when they celebrate their wedding anniversary tomorrow.

If I did it in black and white or sepia, it would probably make a really cool Halloween photo.  Actually the reason I like it so much is because I took it the last time Hubs and I went fishing this year.  I was sitting on a log, waiting for a bite, and I looked up and saw these trees.  I thought they looked really neat with their branches sticking out everywhere against the bright blue sky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you hear??? I'm having another giveaway!  You could &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;WIN 100 Free Post Cards&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;It's perfect timing to make holiday cards to mail to family friends.

This is another really awesome giveaway, if I do say so myself! I am honestly LOVING the opportunity to offer quality free items to my viewers. This is so much fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The lucky winner of this giveaway will receive 100 &lt;i&gt;free&lt;/i&gt; postcards from the &lt;a href="http://www.uprinting.com/"&gt;online printing&lt;/a&gt; company called UPrinting! Canadian residents may also win, but unfortunately, Canadian residents are currently required to pay shipping and taxes on their prize.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a reward for sponsoring this giveaway, I also get to receive 100 free postcards. I'm thinking of using my free postcards as holiday cards to send to family and friends. Each year, we say we are going to create and send out holiday cards, yet each year, we don't find the time. So, this is the perfect opportunity!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, my question for you is: &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you win, how will you use your 100 free &lt;a href="http://www.uprinting.com/Postcards.html"&gt;postcards&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Would you use them as an over-sized business card? Would you promote an upcoming event? Would you make a holiday card?

One of the first and foremost things is to start a website to make sales.  No, I won't &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rvt.com"&gt;sell motorhome&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; accessories, but I &lt;i&gt;hopefully&lt;/i&gt; WILL sell some of my photos.  Then, I'll use my business cards to promote the site.  HEY, YOU can get some business cards too - for F.R.E.E.  &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;I'm giving away 250 business cards&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; - so see the post below this one and ENTER to win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of photos, tomorrow I'm going to take family photos for my co-worker.  I'm not a professional 'people' photographer, so I certainly hope I live up to her expectations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is the first time we've had sunshine in a week... so, you know where to find me - I'll be outside!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't forget &lt;a href="http://headsortailshome.blogspot.com/"&gt;Heads or Tails&lt;/a&gt; on Tuesday, &lt;a href="http://www.crazyworkingmom.com/"&gt;Looking at the Sky on Friday&lt;/a&gt;, and for your weekend enjoyment...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you want to join the Weekend Meme all about animal/critter photos? Clicking on the post header graphic will take you to the blog where you can sign in if you have made a post, and you can visit other Camera-Critters Captures.

This is a really awesome giveaway, if I do say so myself!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The lucky winner of this giveaway will receive 250 &lt;i&gt;free&lt;/i&gt; business cards from the &lt;a href="http://www.uprinting.com/"&gt;online printing&lt;/a&gt; company called UPrinting! Canadian residents may also win, but unfortunately, Canadian residents are currently required to pay shipping and taxes on their prize.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a reward for sponsoring this giveaway, I also get to receive 250 free business cards. I bet you can guess what my business cards will be for... Yep, I will promote my photography with my cards. So, my question for you is: &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you win, what will you promote with your business cards?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Would you promote your blog? Do you have a small business to promote? Do you want to sell some crafts for extra holiday money? Or, are you like me and want to promote photography? I'm really interested in seeing how diverse your answers will be, which is why to enter this giveaway I'm asking you to tell me what you would promote with your cards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can check out UPrinting's &lt;a href="http://www.uprinting.com/Business-Cards.html"&gt;business card printing&lt;/a&gt; options and let your creativity take over! Here are the details of the giveaway:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;One lucky winner will receive 250 free business cards&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Size Choices: 2 x 3.5”, 2 x 3”, 2 x 2” (square card) or 1.5 x 3.5” (skinny card)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Paper Choices: 14 pt gloss cardstock, 14 pt matte cardstock or 13 pt recycled uncoated cardstock&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Specifications: Full Color Both Sides; Offset Press; 3 Business Day Printing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Free UPS Ground Shipping in the USA.

With work getting so hectic and the colder weather moving in, my critter photos are becoming less and less lately.  However, last weekend, I saw these critters everywhere.  That's because they are migrating to Mexico.  Like a bird, the Monarch butterfly migrates south for the winter.  Then, like a bear, the Monarch butterfly hibernates!  Pretty neat, huh?  Hmmm, that gives me an idea for a children's story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more Monarch beauty, check out my post on Misty's Musings.  The pictures in that post are special to me, because although there weren't taken under &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.carid.com/xenon-hid.html"&gt;xenon lights&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, they WERE taken with my new lens!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't forget &lt;a href="http://headsortailshome.blogspot.com/"&gt;Heads or Tails&lt;/a&gt; on Tuesday, &lt;a href="http://www.crazyworkingmom.com/"&gt;Looking at the Sky on Friday&lt;/a&gt;, and for your weekend enjoyment...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you want to join the Weekend Meme all about animal/critter photos?

Actually, I haven't been doing much blogging at all lately.  The past couple months became really hectic, and I have had to spend all my time and energy keeping up with the 'real life' obligations... you know, work, eating, work, sleep, work, daily responsibilities, and did I mention work?  Geesh.  Don't get my wrong, I love my life, but it would be so nice to have the time to focus on my true passions and be able to make something of them.  Well, I still haven't given up (and I hope I never do)... one of these days, (or years), I'll be causing some of my dreams to come true.  I hold on to that belief, and that's one of the reasons I chose this photo for this post... because I call it "My Dream World".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're are interested in this fun and awesome meme, just click on the badge at the top of the post and join us.
