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/

That's a face only a mother could love.
Is this a Muscovy? Great, though startling, close up shot!
I don't believe I've ever seen one of these before. Weird and wonderful.
Is that hairdo a Mohican, do you suppose?
Well done though I must admit I've never seen this bird before! Have a grand day! Cathy
oh he is intimidating...a mullet and facial tattoos....
Funny.
Just yesterday I had a roadside encounter with a gigantic white goose. Somebody down at the bottom of the hill must keep them but I've never seen them before. Particularly in the road, where I had to be careful as I passed, so as not to make pâté. She hissed and honked at me. Some thanks!
Well, isn't this an odd duck.
Is this one of your wild turkeys? That is a face only a mother could love!!
Oh the sights we see in our part of the world. That is precisely what he seems to be saying. Fabulous shot Vicki.
It's no wonder that we refer to some people as "old birds."

A real live Angry Bird! Why, yes, I do have an i-phone and kids who've persuaded me to get that game.
Thanks for the smile!
Wow what an awesome duck shot! He's wonderful!
He kinds looks pimped out, now doesn't he?
wow what is that? He's gorgeous
Oh. My. Goodness! Move along, indeed...
Great shot!
Never seen anything like it! You take such great pictures.
Have a great day.
Best

How elegant and exotic, a tribal chief decked out in his own feathers. Have the missionaries begun arriving yet? Jim
Beautiful -- An intriguing face -- like a Chinese painting. -- barbara
You made my day... I needed that.
Must be looking for a good place to hide before Thanksgiving though!
We sometimes get Muscovy ducks on our local pond, but seldom as fiercesome looking as that! Great pics. Thanks. Barb R
What the heck? That is one homely duck. Good thing he doesn't think so.
Not the most beautiful face on the planet, but I'm sure someone loves him/her :)
A most unusual face. Almost mesmerizing. I hope you will tell us where the two of you encountered one another.
This Muscovy duck has been hanging out at the roadside about two miles from our driveway, just above the riverside pasture where I've taken so many pictures of Canada geese. The geese seem to have moved on and I don't know what this duck's story is but he/she is in a place where there's plenty of food for a duck.
I've never seen a Muscovy with a crest like that - I think this is a handsome critter.
I think you would enjoy seeing some of "your" duck's relatives at Morning Bray Farm. http://morningbrayfarm.com/2011/09/17/a-new-duck-at-morning-bray/
That's it! He was flirting with you! (from June's link)
Not sure if I would use the adjective "handsome..." Charitably, I might choose "bizarre!"
