Taken with my little camera.

Here are some recent photos from our date on Sunday.

 

Look at this giant cow. I think I would get tired of having huge horns on my head if I was this cow.

These horns are a much better size.

Practicing taking photos of birds flying.

We saw a bunch of horses. Just wish they would pick up their yea and look at me.

More of the big cows.

A swainsons hawk. I thought it was a falcon.

Enjoy your day

Finally a good pheasant photo.

Enjoy your week.

My Halloween outfit Ideas

I actually have my Halloween costume.

These are some ideas I had. The AI photo generator likes short skirts.  I think I would have done long pants instead.

Here is a Harry Potter costume idea.

If I could have found a nice looking fairy godmother costume 

I would have done that. But wearing a dress to work is hard.

I often will take a pen and say “ bibitty, Bobbiity, boo…”

As a silly joke when I wish I could magically change something.

I like to collect Pokémon cards. Which has become hard to do because people I think hoard them.  I can never find them at the store anymore. But I have always wanted to be a Pokemon Trainer. I would do pants instead of shorts.

I had also thought of being a witch this year.

I’m actually going to be a Star Trek character.

But this is not what my costume will look 👀 like.

I look forward to Halloween and seeing everyone’s costumes.

About my temporary tattoo.

Here is AI generated Kimberly with flower tattoos.

She looks pretty serious. I like her T-shirt .  I would buy

A shirt like this if I could find one. 

Here was the temporary tattoo that I had for a few weeks. 

There has been tons of change where I work. I have been having a hard time with it and finding myself complaining.

So I found this little temporary tattoo that looks like waves. 

When I felt like resisting the change I would think 🤔,

Go with the flow.

It actually helped me.

I sent this to my husband the other day when it was raining.

When you live in the desert and it rains it’s a wonderful thing.

I had been praying for rain.

What do you do when you have to deal with a lot of change?

Garden therapy.

My happy places are gardens and places in nature.

Enjoy some of my recent photos.

I never realized there were so many dahlias.

Where is your happy place?

What is your computer algorithm feeding you?

 

I live in Utah and was shocked by the shooting last week.

I didn’t know who the man was who got shot. I’m not a person who keeps up with politics. 

I’m reading posts and listening to people and it makes me wonder about what made people dislike this person,

and what made people like him?

Where did people get information that made them hate him?

Where did people find information that made them follow him?

I think it has a lot to do with what they looked for on their computers and phones. The information you get is brought to you by some type of computer algorithm.

So two people can look up a person and find two different views about them depending on how they search the internet.

Once you choose what you want to believe more of that information gets fed to you.

My computer algorithms send me photos of cats.

They send me photos of flowers and gardens.

The send me people that photograph wildlife and birds.

And for some unknown reason I see things about snakes. 

I must have watched a snake video. 

The algorithm in my kindle suggests new books to read based on the books I have read.

Take a moment to think about what is being sent your way on your computer or phone.

Is it uplifting you or making you feel like the world is falling apart. 

Then look for other information. Take time to be in the real world and put the phone and computers away.

You will find that life is less stressful when you are not constantly connected to the internet.

Lady with a camera, my nature therapy day.

 I went to the local garden yesterday to play photographer and get some nature therapy. Here are some of the photos I took.

I thought the Heron was a statue at first. It was nice to spend time watching it. I think it hunts the koi fish.

I love seeing all types of nature when I get the chance to be out in nature. 

I wish I could have gotten more photos of this little lizard.

But my camera battery died 😢. 

What I find funny is I think the lizard is cute, but if you took the legs off it would be a snake and I don’t like snakes. 

I love these flowers.

Enjoy your day.

I thought I was good at change but the past few months have been too much.

 I have worked at the same place for 9 years. Things get changed every now and then and I have felt like I was good with the changes.  But lately I feel like everything is changing and I’m wondering if it will ever calm down. 

I haven’t been good with the changes.  I’ve felt stressed and annoyed.  I like my routine and feel like it’s been turned sideways.

The other week I asked my direct manager if there was any more change they could possibly do. She just looked at me and said, I think there’s going to be management change places.  

That did happen, but I was glad my direct manager didn’t get moved. 

Yesterday I went to a meeting and they made even more changes.  I want to get a temporary tattoo to put on my wrist that says “go with the flow”. To remind me to not stress about the change, but to flow with it.  

How do you manage stress when there is lots of change at work?

Balloons and phone calls that’s what my day was filled with.

 On Saturdays where I work I make lots of balloons. That’s the life for a guest service worker.  I make balloons, I answer phone calls. I give people their cake orders. 

And I also give customers their sandwich orders.

I help people fix their accounts and find items they want to purchase.

Yesterday was a very long and busy day. 

So they say AI is going to take over guests service jobs.

Are they making robots to take my place? 

This is what the AI program thought robot worker would look like.

I hope it never happens.

I think people are better for customers service jobs.

What do you think?

A project almost finished, organizing my bird photography.

After hours of moving bird photos from sd cards to an external hard drive I am almost done organizing my bird photos.

The next step will be to create a life bird photography book.

I have 2 SD cards left to work through.

I’m so proud that I have kept working on this project.

My next project will be organizing my flower photography.

 

My favorite bird, little adventure bird.

33 day dates with my Prince Charming.

 I’m having fun asking the AI program to make cartoon pictures for me.  Not sure who would go walking in the woods in heels and dress clothes. But this couple is cute. It’s a young version of my husband and I.  

We have gone on 33 day dates so far this year.  We were talking about how nice it is to go on dates in the middle of the week.  Why is this so nice? Because no one else is out during the week.  It’s so less crowded. 

We had a nice walk, then we went to lunch.

We had a very nice day. 

Some photos from our date.
