Friday Night and It's Quiet...

Fingerprint Friday-

I followed this little fellow around the patio... watching him run from plant to plant changing colors several times.. he was so tiny.. only about an inch long from the top of his head head to tip of tail..  I wanted to catch him and build him a terrarium but  Dave was against the idea.. so he remains free..

Beautiful skies  over Barnwell....

Shoot Me ~

I know I am supposed to post new photo's .. but discovering this old photo of myself I just couldn't resist.. I thought about the days between then and now... so many changes .. so many hardships and blessings..

I wouldn't want to do those years again.. But I wouldn't mind looking this young once more!

~ This guy was left behind when they moved the County Library into a new "Uptown" Building.. I wanted to relocate him to my own back yard but was told that he had been left behind to welcome folks to the museum that will eventually be moving into the old Library building .... I have decided that I will ask again in a few months since he has been guarding an empty building for several years already..
