Am currently reading one of your recommendations - THE STRANGER YOU SEEK. Thoroughly enjoying - it is truly a keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat thriller. Hope it turns into a series. Thanks!
Very lovely - I like the heart shapes. Most of my best photos are more by luck than judgement but I have never redeemed anything so spectacularly well as these.

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/

That third photo actually kinda looks like a purple winged fairy.
I thought so too, Mrs. A . . .
Life has been getting in the way of my blog visiting -- I hope to catch up with all of you tomorrow.
Absolutely lovely photos! Hope you remember those 'wrong' settings! This vision is worth repeating.
Wonderful and interesting photos!
What I like to call, a happy accident.
Very lovely - and just a little unsettling.

Keep well.
Good one! That's a very good mistake...

Beautiful!
Serendipity, one of my favorite words, beautifully illustrated here!
I learned that one of the hardest things to do is letting lose, forgeting about trying to take a perfectly exposed picture. ;-)
Those pictures are neat ... glad you shared your 'mistakes'.
Delicate and beautiful, and a parable of what's there that we don't SEE.
That's when photography becomes "art!"

There is a quote I like about such: "Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep." -- Scott Adams
I thought that purple thing looked like a fairy as well. Much nicer than the 2 inch big hornets I've been seeing here.
Happy fall!
Love these!! At first I thought you'd been playing with Photoshop!
Yeow. Thank you for the photography lesson!
They're gorgeous.
I first thought you had started painting! I love it! XO
Those are just lovely. Who would have thought you could have gotten such beauty from a mistake. Hmmm, might be a lesson in there.
Hello Vicki
Lovely indeed!
I agree with Ms. A--I do see a fairy and I love the quote Wayfarin Stranger shared(must put this one in my quote book).
Have a great day!
Best
Tracy :)
Certainly a fun time for the camera!
nice..i love that waterfall of hearts...you did find a bitof magic...
hearts all in a row.
you couldn't have planned it any better.
That is fantastic. Love it!
Your photos remind me of the arts and crafts period only they didn't have a camera to tweak. Nice. -- barbara
