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/

Only Blogger knows why the pictures didn't publish on my first try (now deleted.)
And these were taken this week!
Oh, I love the primroses...never seen them growing. Are they little bitty or size of crocus? Luscious. Your camera and your eye combine to give beauty.
Well worth waiting for!
Barb, these are the little primroses you find for sale in the grocery store this time of year. I enjoy them in the house then plant them outside and they return the next year. These are in their third year.
Martin -- nice new personal icon!
So your beautiful photos have me googling the Nikon D90 and dreaming camera dreams. I have a Canon Rebel that I got in 2007, but it just doesn't seem to be taking very good photos anymore. It wasn't cheap, so it's odd that the quality of the photos seems degraded, the light "off"... I wonder if something happened to it. Anyway, I have a new dream, a Nikon D90 dream. Where did you get yours??
Ah, like a breath of fresh air! Great pictures.
Such a delight. My family once rented a house in McLean, VA whose front lawn looked like an Easter egg hunt in the spring when all the crocus sprang up. So many colors! One of my neighbors here has crocus blooming. She credits the busy chipmunks with this bit of landscaping.
Only Blogger knows! So true.I'm glad your tried again--absolutely lovely photos!
Brenda -- Merisi in Vienna recommended the Nikon, as did another friend. I got mine online from Adorama in NYC. The only lens I have is an all-purpose Nikkor 18-200 -- good for close ups and for distance -- though not, of course as good as a serious macro lens and a serious telephoto, But I don't want to spend time changing lenses as most of my shots are spur of the moment. If money were no object, I'd also have the macro and the telephoto just for days when I had time to do nothing but take pictures.
wow glad you came back and fixed that ...these are beautiful...love the one with the bee...the orange and white just pop together....soon it will be spring...our crocuses are coming....
Nice -- barbara
I always look forward to your photos and these were well worth the wait!
Lovely flowers!
It's already spring in your country ?
a few days ago, we could admire snow!
Thanks for your kind comment on my blog! (I rarely dare to show myself!)
It's lovely to see the first signs of spring in the garden! So far I have only wee little snowdrops!
I can never get enough of Spring flowers and these are gorgeous.
Yes indeed.. well worth waiting for!
Lucky you, Vicki, to already have these friendly spring flowers doing their show well before winter ends. I do hope that a sneaky frost won't stop their show.
love your shots as always :)
missed being here. glad to be back:)
