Who Am I? What Am I Doing Here?
- Vicki Lane
- western NC, United States
- I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors. I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out. As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over four years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures. There's more information about me and my books on my web site: http://vickilanemysteries.com/

Stunning photos. I have never seen such butterflies. The macros are brilliant, Vicki! Have a great day!
Like walking through a poem, beautiful!
Your cricket is much more sophisticate than its Arizonian cousins!
Prose in pictures here.
Oh, Vicki! These are all gorgeous! Each one a worthy gem to inspire great creativity (or, in my case, simply dreaming!) Thank you for this delightful visual symphony!
Love the lichen on the tree. What sort of tree is it?
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!
Dear Vicki: The pictures are pure light and magic! The variety of the moths, the butterflies; the splendour of the place is phenomenal! What a glorious place to live! Interesting mountain in the background; is their an oral history in regards to this regal mountain?
goodness...these are fabulous. that yellow and purple butterfly especially...
Absolutely beautiful Vicki, no words needed! The moths were stunning.
Lovely photographs : I am almost tempted to join the dots up and write the story.
holy moly....those are gorgeous
what kind of moth is that?
So beautiful. Even the bugs (which creep me out) are beautiful. I don't count butterflies as bugs.
Thanks Vicki, you are a shutterbug who captures bugs, plants, mountains, trees, flowers etc so well. A lovely quiet walk with nature.

Dear Vicki, such a great experience you had at wildacres retreat, I think moving to tears with someone else´s reading or having a poem at your plate is something really worth to live, and I´m so happy you made new friends. Great surroundings too!!!
hugs dear
Gorgeous pictures Vicki.
The bugs, in order of appearance, are: Polyphemus moth, Great Spangled Fritillary (I think,) grasshopper, and Imperial moth. I don't know what sort of tree it is, Martin -- a very tall one but I wasn't paying good attention. Perhaps a hickory, my husband says.
And I wondered about that odd stubby looking mountain but never got around to asking, Too busy working on my costume for Hollywood Night.
Oh, Alan, I'd like to see that story!
Gorgeous photographs! Is it just me, or is that the face of Jesus in that lichen?
Hmmm... I see a sort of bearded Green Man peeking out . . .
awesome pictures!

These are all so wonderful to view. I really enjoyed seeing the great variety.
Vicki -- what a gorgeous parade of photographs. Especially like the shade lines on the decking and the grasshopper. Really just liked them all.-- barbara
I found myself sighing in satisfaction as I scrolled down through the photos. Thank you!
