Some Animal Friends

Just a quick post today of some animal friends of late!  Here's one of the many goats that were at a local event recently.  I spend time with them each year.  A regional guy has all sorts of animals that he rescues and takes in and he specializes in goats, it seems.  

Last month I spent some time at the Jamestown Audubon and really enjoyed chatting with the turtles.  This lil guy is Lincoln.  I'm considering donating to his feed and care.  You can do so for at little at $20.  The turtles at the Audubon are rescue situations or those who have been neglected.

About 2 weeks ago I was on my way to work and this adorable dog was playing on a busy street and didn't have a tag.  I stopped my car in the middle of the road and wanted to make sure he didn't get hit.  Before I could get her - she jumped in my car.  She spent 60% of the workday with us in the office and then I took her to the Humane Society to see if she was chipped.  She wasn't.  They kept her.  I was already attached.  Later that day she was reunited with her family so that is good!

About a week earlier this cat followed me to my car.  I think it's a church cat - because that is where I park.  I haven't seen her since but she was pretty cool!

This is one of the cats at our local shelter/Humane Society and she was sitting inside this so matter-of-factly that I just had to take a photo!

And finally...Cricket.  Apparently I disrupted her slumber trying to take this pic!  LOL!

Just a quick update today...and I'm also asking for some help!

Would you be able to visit THIS SITE - it is my NEW Photoblog.  I'm posting some of my photographs there in hopes to narrow down what I could and should submit in out fair this summer.

It would REALLY HELP ME if you could hop over and click on the ones you like best and comment in some way!  The photos with the most feedback by this spring I will be printing and entering in our fair.

I haven't done this in the past but some of the rules have changed and they no longer require matting so I thought I would see if I could get a few ribbons!

Again...my NEW Photoblog is:

My New Blissful Addiction to Canva

I have a confession to make...I'm an addict.  An addict to this site called Canva that is.  I've been tinkering with it for over a week now and I am in LOVE with it.  I've made this graphic - as well - as a few others this past week that I have featured here - as well as some for a few newsletters and websites I contribute to.  It's so easy!  

  Here's just a few things you can do with it...Album and Podcast Covers, Social Media, Presentations, Posters, Facebook Covers and Posts, Blog Graphics, etc.  Actually...my new header for this blog is done with Canva...as is my Google+ Profile Header.

They have some really neat templates that you can use and/or you can tweak them easily to whatever you wish!  I took a few screen shots for you to see what I am referring to!  There are many FREE things you can do with it and there are paid for features, too, if you want something MORE.  So far - everything I have used - has been of the FREE variety!
