Photo Monday (edited)

edit: A few people have wished they had photo editing software. Well, here are a couple of free online places that I have used and really like.

It's almost Monday. Only another hour so I think I get a head start.
First, this Great Blue Heron. This photo was taken June 26, 2007. What I think he is doing is sunbathing. Birds do that to kill mites and lice. What's really funny is to watch them take a sand bath.

One of my most favorite snacks. Mmmmmm Only one problem though. Those messy fingers.

This is called a Dotee Doll. I'm hooked. This is my first one. Hand sewn and beaded. My first time for beading. It also has embroidered face. It's 6 inches. I have 2 more waiting for beads now. I can see give-aways in my future.

    Carla, your little "Dotee" is really cute. Are you doing the swap over on Doll Street? Think I'll have to pass this time because I have a few other things on the go...

    I will have to eventually make one or two though...I sure have seen a lot of them around....

    Love the shot of the Heron. I have never seen one that close up. Love Dotee Doll too. Beading can be really fun.

    Last week I never heard of dottees, and this week they are everywhere -- kinda eerie actually, LOL. I would NEVER have believed that this is your first beaded project. Well done.
