First! hee hee…
I had to get over here to see your pics, they’re alway so cool. The Wet Wesley is the best, looks like one that would be on the front of a funny card. Actually, they all look like card material, but Wesley’s just funny!
i love ‘em!!! my favorite is the autumn one behind your house!
OH girl, your photos are GREAT! LOVE the picture of your nephew asleep on the bed. The photo that Rick took of the waterfalls is amazing and I think you should start using that lipstick color in about ten years. You will be at the right age for orange lipstick, won’t you?!

WOW! Breathtaking! I can not get enough of creation – what amazing works of art… or “work” I should say, as it all seems to fit nicely into a beautiful picture telling a beautiful story.
BE blessed!

These are such wonderful pictures. I also think the butterfly one is very artsy fartsy too! I liked that one the first time you posted it. ANd the view from your house is incredible. How fortunate you are to see that every day!
Wesley looks like two totally different cats. In the first, he’s so serence and calm and so in control of his domain, and in the after bath one, he looks like he needs a valium..lol..with a little bit if “I hate you right now” expression on his face!! Which do you like the best, the dry or the wet pussie pic?? lol Sorry…I just couldn’t keep myself from going there….
When I had to crash my computer last month, you know your email, etc. went with it. I need your snail and email, phone, etc. I need to put you on my Christmas card list……
He didint look very happy on that last photo
I so love Yosemite too
Wesley is so cute! Especially the bath picture. He looks really pissed.
You always have the best pictures!
Gorgeous photos Shellie! I love every single one. The wet pus, er Wesley made me laugh outloud. I’m sure my neighbors across the street could hear me cackling at that one.
Just one thing bothers me though … I actually like the pink lipstick your sister is wearing. I can’t believe that you think it’s ugly. 
I suppose it is a bit ’80s but oh isn’t she pretty in pink? Love you crazy girl, Jill
The lips are my favorite as far as the people pics go. I have never in my life figured out how or why people give their cats a bath…probably because they need them, but I’ve never done it.
The nature pics, just fantastic.
These photos are giving me the necessary oomph to start making plans… thank you
If that’s the view from your backyard, I want to come live with you! You’re still alive to tell tales of bathing that cat, huh? Wow… he does not look happy.
Love all the pictures but my favorite was the sea gulls. WOW.
Love all the pics. The one of your hubby and the hair is quite cute. And the one of your nephew, I just fell in love with.
You take the best pictures. What an eye.
Looks like wes is not to crazy about bath day lol
BRAVO ! BRAVO ! I loved your post today !!
Lots of snow here in Hood River, Oregon today !!
Have a good one.
Wow, those are truly awesome pictures, Shelly. Girl, you do good. My daughter can’t believe your kitty actually looks like that.
Great pics, but my favorite has to be wet Wesley. Have a great weekend !!
Definitely great pics! And boy are you right…it’s raining like nobody’s business right now! that’s my favorite kind of daffodill
hope all’s going well!
The pictures are lovely. Love the Bridalveil falls one.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE your pictures!!!
You capture beauty and life so well!
Absolutely beautiful pics. Makes me proud to say I live in Oregon too. Now as far as Yosemite, during my last trip to Fresno, we had plans to go there but David had to work so much more than anticipated. I’m going down again for Christmas so I wonder how it is there in December? He said it’s so beautiful there and by the looks of your pics, it’s even prettier than I imagined. Sorry I didn’t make it to Survivor tonight. Jasmine Rice with chicken and lots of yummy stuff mixed in and had originally planned to take it to your house this evening. I never made it before and it was oh so yummy. Maybe another time. (finally, I ate something that is setting with my tummy)
Wesley is so photogenic. He has such attitude. I really think you should put his pics in some show somewhere. The one of your nephew is precious. I love them all though and I would love to exchange real christmas cards. How do we do this?
The seagulls were the best–no, the sunset–no, the mushrooms! I didn’t even think that was a real photograph at first! Awesome photos!
My Zandman is going to have a sense of humor like Rick. He has a silly hat just like that…
Man, I was enjoying all those photos and then I got to Wesley and laughed my head off. Those pictures really were great. I love photography. One day I’ll have a good camera =)
I may change my background 3 times a day if i can get a repsonse like that from you!
I love ya!
I am off to the coast tonight on a bus…..Coos Bay! We will stop at the Chamber of Commerce and then off to Mill City Casino! We are doing a big dinner & gift exchange! How fun!
Anyway, I am at the coast this weekend for a party…..so see ya next week! We need to get together over the holidays!
As ysual, your pictures are totally incredible. I saw a HGTV show where they turned the homeowners pictures into black and white and framed them. I thought of how cool some of your pics would be that way.
I JUST LOVE THE MUSHROOMS ON A LOG, IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY THE LOG LOOKS LIKE A GIRAFFE!
Your previous post made me cry, it’s an unforgettable pain, but you are smiling again. Love you Shellie.

When are you going to publish your photography book? I’d buy it!
Your photos are wonderful. I have bought this dinky little new camera but I am sure I couldnt do what you do. love the wet cat. Our cat would not take to bathing at all. I cant believe how your black doggy looks exactly like my Jimmy.
Nice reminiscing (spelling?) with you! :smile:
I loved your pictures but especially the one of Penny. She looks exactly like my Xochitl who is no longer with us. I still miss her. She was the bestest dog ever.
