Welcomed surprise arrives via sunshine
Encouraging her to bloom promptly
She’s found roseate and willing
Her blushing pink petals exposed
Brindled markings adorn her length
Hot pink showing her inner delight
Sublimely eager this hour, she waits
Pleased and confident within herself
Knowing already, the others, too late

Another great photo…you’re almost becoming too good 🙂 There is nothing better when a “welcomed surprise arrives via sunshine” ~ I suppose once again the meaning is Dawn ?!?

Thank you!
Dalo, I really like having you stateside. I “see” you more. 😉 Too good?! You are far too sweet. As if…
When do I get to read your words again? I’m feeling Dalo depleted and that is never good on a lady…I want to know what’s been going on in that mind of yours lately. Oh, and yes, Dawn…our Dawn. 😉 Hope Seattle is all you’re needing her to be, Photographer.

I don’t remember seeing you pitch your blog at my Pitch Party? Did you choose to skip it? 😦

I’m sorry, Austin. I have been on this crazy working vacation for five weeks now. I’m terribly behind. I read your post, but was lacking the confidence to write something, as I’m driving back to Houston and feeling exhausted. I didn’t know how to write it without sounding flirty and full of myself, I guess, may be other reasons why I didn’t pitch my blog. I like the idea and wished I’d had time to read a few of the bloggers who commented. I really enjoy your blog and your friendship. Forgive me?

It’s not going to affect our friendship. I was just hoping you’d want to share your blog with others…

She does seem confident, Audith. And I don’t think it’s because she’s beautiful or strong, you know. (Though she’s both.)

I think she’d thank you for such a truly wonderful compliment, Duke. Thank you. (Blush)

You mean the ones that keep showing up on my trip? It ends tomorrow, Mister. Don’t allow any inside the Charger. I can’t take seeing another snake.

Nope. They were a no show. I sent a letter on ahead of me and they became distracted by the rat show across town instead.

Which makes sense! I would have went to the rat show.

Yes, but I think they thought it was dinner and a show.
