Another Sunday and the end of a busy week! I only had to wade through about 500 photographs and edit about 200 of them. I really need to ease up on that shutter button. LOL I sure wouldn’t have shot that much prior to digital cameras! So, let’s see, did you miss anything during your busy week? We […]

So, we’ve spent the past two weekends, at the St. Louis Renaissance Faire. We are there this weekend, too, and we will be there for the last two of faire season! Why? Because it’s just what we do. The Girl Child has worked for one of the food vendors for six years now (The Dragon’s Breath Grill […]
I am posting all the photos I take of the St. Louis Renaissance Festival in my Shona Skye Facebook album, but I’m might share one or two individually here, if I especially like them. Like this one… This is my friend, Jen, one of the brilliantly talented dancers with Chuvani Bellydance, who perform at the […]
Look! My Dahlias are blooming! We’ve been so busy the last couple of weeks, I hadn’t really noticed, but look at that! I’ve never grown them before. I wanted to grow Black Dahlias, but I couldn’t find any. Maybe that’s just murder cases. LOL I do love the colors, though. I’ll have to keep these […]
What does Silent Jay have for us today? (I would love for you to come back to visit, so please SUBSCRIBE using one of the buttons I have up there at the top on the right. And be sure to find me on Facebook for behind the scenes stuff and general goofiness. I’m on Twitter, […]
So, as any long-time follower probably knows, my family is a bit daft for our local Renaissance Faire held here every year. This year, it’s expanded to five weekends, though, which is awesome! Whereas I worked the entire Faire last year as a vendor, this year, I’m back to being just emergency help, so I’m […]
I hope everyone is having a great holiday with family and friends. It’s an awesome time of year – the kickoff to summer, with its parties, sunshine, and time with family.But, it’s also good to take time from the BBQs, family gatherings, vacations, and shopping on Memorial Day and remember what the holiday was originally […]
Happy Sunday! It’s been a busy week here, with the school year ending for the College Boy and the Girl Child, rehearsals starting for the community theater production the Girl Child is involved in, plus her voice lessons, trying to squeeze in her driving lessons, and the Renaissance Faire starting up. Did you miss anything […]
I have a huge giant tree in my backyard (which I like to call Liability, because if it ever falls down, it’s going to take out about two or three houses, mine included). It is home to a large, extended family of squirrels that enjoy performing acrobatic feats, invading bird feeders, and tormenting my pack […]
I had two options with this shot. 1) Climb a hill that was way overgrown and probably infested with snakes and giant flesh-eating bugs or 2) opt for an “artsy” perspective, while staying relatively clean and safe on the gravel road below the mountain of death standing between me and said abandoned house. Sooooo yeah…I […]
