Thanks for stopping by . . .
Liking to write almost as much as I enjoy taking digital photos, this is the perfect place for me. I hope that my visitors will enjoy both as well.

JennyMcB gave me this award and I thank her for the consideration.
Sharon gave me this award and it means a lot to me.
Dragonstar surprised me with this one today!
Lilli gave me this and a few days later Kathy did too. I also received it from Bears In Exile, Sharon, Kerri and Mrs. Nesbitt. I guess I have a lot to live up to as the recipient of this award.
pernille's ting og tanggave me this award this week and I will treasure it and try to always have a good reason to blog.
Counting My Blessings
I LOVE MYSTERIES! But most of all I love mysteries with wonderful descriptions of snow in them. One such author that accomplishes this beautiful writing feature is Diana Mott Davidson and I look forward to her next mystery novel before it ever comes out. Since I was a very young child, I have enjoyed this genre.
Today, it is still my favorite. Now, I have found that I like the descriptions of snow that this author uses and I have written quotes from her books down to remind me.
When I locate my list of snow phrases, I will add them here so I have a permanant location to re-read them often. In the meantime, something kept me too busy from reading her latest novel called Dark Tort and I want to get that asap! All the books are about a caterer who has a son, is divorced and re-married to a cop AND she always solves a mystery connected to her catering and there is always snow in Denver. I wish I could write like her!
Found a few of them!
"Trees high and low were hung with glittering ribbons of snow."
"Sunbeams slanting through the pines and aspen branches winked off errant flakes."
"Out here in the boondocks, the snow is seductively pretty."
"Through the thickening swirl of snowflakes . . . "
"As if on cue, the snow began to flutter down again . . . "
There are more -- I just have to re-locate them. . . hmmmm. maybe a new re-read of each title would be in order!
These are the titles of her books:
Dark Torte
Double Shot
The Last Suppers
Dying For Chocoalte
Killer Pancake
The Ceral Murders
The Grilling Season
Tough Cookie
Sticks and Scones
Chopping Spree
Catering To Nobody
The Main Corpse
Prime Cut
About Me
- Paulie
- My name is Paulie and I have several blogs. I started with "PostcardsfromPaulie" which is my main blog. I have gradually added others. "Turtle Place" is for a new project downtown that celebrates our heritage and one day will be a gathering place like it was many years ago.Vancouver's history. I intend to keep a photo graphic journal of a special house at From My View - the Kiggins House. Living in Vancouver, WA, we have many historical homes and sites and our community is aware of the importance of our heritage. This home was built by the first Mayor of Vancouver and is on the National Historical Register. This year, it was moved from its original site and is being restored to be used as the personal home of the Bruce and Judy Woods family.

Good choice. I like the flower collage. It could of been garden, too!
Hey Paulie! Your gladiolas look gorgeous! Great G!
Nice Gs. Some graffiti is just more interesting than others. Yesterday a group of city bloggers did a graffiti theme. It was interesting.
Paulie! That's some pretty grafitti! Ours here is pretty dismal, messy looking! your gladiolas are wonderful...
Loved the gladiolas collage.They are so pretty.Wonderful picture of what is to come in our area.We still have aways to go till spring arrives here.
Loved your choice for G
Beautiful Glads and altho i am not in favor of Graffiti they are pretty
Gorgeous gladiolas! I almost did graffiti but mine wouldn't have been as colorful as yours.
The flowers are a perfect choice!!
The graffiti near you is way better than the stuff near me. ;-)
good choice for G theme
Hope you visit mine also Thanks.
Oh wow! I am impressed with that graffiti! Wish all graffiti was that pretty! Lovely glads!
Nice, colorful photos for ABC Wednesday.
Great G's !
For once a Graffiti that made me look twice.
Better than average, but consequences for the environment is not shown
Good G's - simple but great!

Greetings from JoAnn/Holland
Visit my G for ABC wednesday
Hurray! I did graffiti too!!!
Love your flowers... hope mine get that big this year....
Hi Paulie. those flowers are beautiful! Wonderful shots. The graffiti is interesting and pretty in it's way. Makes for a good ABCW G post!
Beautiful Gladiolas!!! :)))
Great choice!!I love gladiolas! But both photos are just great!
Very beautiful post, splendid the colours of flowers but also graffiti's!
The glads are glorious .. and that graffitti is sort of nice looking
OH Paulie, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the flower collage.
You had asked me some questions on my last post:
I think what you are seeing is the "wishing well" that is near the building in that shot of the tree.
Also - the "trash" isn't visible to most...the path to get to the other side is very narrow and I have NEVER seen anyone on that side before. Besides me and hubby last weekend :)
This is a private park for members of the Izaak Walton league, so there is NO parks and recreation dept or anything like that, everything is volunteer. There are only about 30 members that actively use the park....so we are there by ourselves a LOT.
ALSO - there was a train derailment here a a year or so ago....the train that derailed was loaded with brand new trucks....so that is probably how the tire got into the pond. The pond is supposed to be dredged this summer, I think, so that should remove that stuff.
Thank you for all of your comments...sorry to ramble on...but I wanted to respond to your questions.
Have a Great Day!
nice bright "G's"
The Glads are beautiful
The graffiti is really amazing, great colors
Gracious !
Miss Yves
Oh so nice!!!!
Grafitti can be art. Some of it. Lovely flowerpictures:D
Oh, I really love the Gladiolas, I cannot wait for warm weather and flowers! Very nice post for the "G"...
I am glad you stopped by and yes, I loved your comment on "the sheltered table" photo. It is a great idea to sit and eat while the kids play in the snow... it is often what folks will do. You picked up on the atmosphere perfectly...
Great G post.
Nice ABC post - lovely flowers.
I did see that you visited me twice on Bridges, and thanks for the comment and visiting my lil ol blog.
Nice! Hey, is that the graffiti on the bridge on Columbia? I haven't been down there since Saturday Market last year.
I used to grow glads, but I don't think they'd survive the wind in our garden - they had to be staked under normal conditions.
That is quite a combination!
both good choices.
I love gladiolas, they are so pretty.
beautiful glads! wonder if I could grow any here....hmmm... must find out. I love them.
at least those graffiti artists chose some great colours and lines.... lol .....
Really like your collage
of the Gladiolus!
Very artistic and interesting graffiti!
God Bless and Have a Great Week!!!
Two very nice Gs. Gladiolas are so pretty, and graffiti can be too:)
Thank you Paulie,
for trying to comment, (last week it wasn't working out so well) and coming back again, I am so sorry to hear that you tried last week to comment without succes..., I don't know yet what was the problem, but its fixed by now I think... I could see you comments ans also from others..I and others, we all do our best to visit the other ABC members...
Thanks for commenting on my ABC I really like that .Have a good ABC day! Greetings from JoAnn
Such a great "G" post
hi, very colourful graffiti. :)
Thanks for your comment at my blog.
good colors - love your G choices.
Nice collage of the Glads and the graffiti is so colorful. Good choice.
Your glads are beautiful!
Lovely glads!
Just been to another site that did graffiti and lots of poeple said they don't ike it, but I don't mind it some of the artistic variety. it can brighten up dull places.
A sure sign of summer!
The weather however is not very promiing today...an ideal time for me to get on with my spring cleaning don't you think? So I should be doing it right now! LOL!
I like the artwork.
Mama Bear
Great G's Paulie!
