It was based on a memory of my daughter when she was little.<br /><br />Shay, your poem was magnificent and so true - the innocent victims suffer so. <br /><br />Mama Zen, thank you. Your poem was gorgeous! <br /><br />Heaven, thank you so much. <br /><br />my heart's love songs on wordpress, so true - Shay's a hard act to follow :)<br /><br />Laurie, lovely to meet you and thank you so much!<br /><br />Teresa, thank you - Stripey does love the limelight, I think! ;)<br /><br />Susie, thank you. That poem was from a memory of my daughter when she was a little girl :) Hey, you made Stripey into royalty which he thinks is only proper :)<br /><br />Kerry, thank you. <br /><br />Margaret, thank you so much! That's neat about your daughter and the connection to the coloring. Hey, rainbow is an awesome favorite color :)<br /><br />Mary Mansfield, Stripey was delighted. :) Thank you!<br /><br />Mary, hope you enjoyed the Grammies and thank you so much.<br /><br />Thank you all. Thank you to Shay for asking me to share some photos and a poem. This was really neat. Usually I am the only one who takes inspiration from my photographs so this was a pure delight. What a wonderful community you have here. Stripey thanks you, too. :)TALONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205633556998220372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-42987949727713654282012-02-12T19:01:26.318-06:002012-02-12T19:01:26.318-06:00Finally accomplished this!

She learned to read and do math only because I allowed her to color the pictures when she was done. (middle of second grade I finally figured how to motivate her!). Now she is in a boarding school (a college University) for her Junior year in high school in a prestigious Visual Arts program. <br /><br />p.s. Her favorite color is probably still "rainbow"!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007201357693227614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-45012873363537161142012-02-12T15:57:37.595-06:002012-02-12T15:57:37.595-06:00I had a hard time choosing, and finally selected t...I had a hard time choosing, and finally selected the Great Blue Heron. My "snowbird" in-laws consider these birds an everyday occurrence, and for most southerner's who live near the water, perhaps they are. I still find them awe inspiring and I marvel as they fly over my head and wade in the water, usually keeping a wary eye on me, trying not to be too noisy or bothersome! <br /><br />Loved that handsome cat's attitude... I have two just as regal and funny as he! <br /><br />Thank you Talon and Fireblossom for an entertaining introduction to this weekend's challenge.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007201357693227614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-68167872246355054022012-02-12T07:57:00.439-06:002012-02-12T07:57:00.439-06:00Many thanks to Shay for standing in for me in such...Many thanks to Shay for standing in for me in such an original and fun way, and to Talon for allowing us to put her wonderful images to use. <br />I've had an exhausting weekend but I'm home now and intend to catch up with all the poems posted here, and on Marian's Friday prompt..

After all, you said so. So I will. I have had the distinct privilege of being owned at one time by four cats with attitudes pretty much like yours: Ginger Victoria, Buckwheat Elizabeth, Spanky (Spud) Hilliard, and Trubble. I was at their beck and call for years. So I salute you, Your Catness, and will return later with a poem or two worthy of your perusal.
