I have a feeling this March 2nd auction at Sotheby's in London will be mobbed. Be sure to expand the description beside each photo in the slideshow by clicking "See More". You will then be able to read wonderful things about her like this: “If second childhood means going back to first loves in old age then I am deep in it.”

Brown Cat with White Mustache

He's beautiful, isn't he? I don't think I've ever seen a brown cat, have you? He looks as if he has a white mustache and look at the size of those legs! Big and gorgeous. via

Elizabethan Duck

There's nothing like a duck wearing a ruff, is there? This portrait made me smile. via

Saltbox with Snow

I definitely think the groundhog was wrong, don't you? via

Herringbone Walkway

I really love this walkway with the pavers laid in a herringbone pattern. There is a lot of period detailing on this shingle style home. I love the craftsmanship on the archway. Image found on Tumblr.

One Yellow Duckling

Do you think he even knows he's not like the rest? Such a sweet photograph.

When I woke up on Sunday morning it was 1° outside! It has warmed up somewhat and now it's a balmy 18° with snow coming this afternoon. Stay warm. xo

Happy Day of Hearts

I am republishing some of my own photographs with a heart theme today for Valentine's Day. I found the last one online and like it a lot. Valentine's Day really is for everyone. Enjoy!
