Slideshow Of Random Photos

I put together a slideshow of some of my photos. Some are recent, some are not so recent, most are cell photos, and all are mine. They're not perfect or even good shots, but I like them all for one reason or another. The majority of them have been shared on Instagram or Facebook already, but I felt like making a slideshow.....so here it is.

Happy Easter

I hope you all have had a nice Easter! We did. In the photos above Sheldon has chosen his favorite Easter Basket treat and is trying to bury it on our bed. He cracked us up doing that all over the house.

Like any other day, we went for our evening walk around the hood. Every day we see groupings of Sandhill Cranes. We leave them alone and they leave us alone. Well.....usually.

After our encounter with the cranes we crossed the road and walked our usual route. On our way back they were still in the same spot.

Silly cranes. I love them.

Thanks for stopping by! 🐰

My Renninger's Books

These are the books I scored from rummaging in the Renninger's used book store.



I was incredibly happy to find the concrete and sewing tips books. Plus, the sweet book lady threw in the sewing one free! She said that was one of hers. The pillow book comes with patterns. REAL patterns separate from the book...not just diagrams within the book. We're planning lots of projects for the house, so these will come in handy.

On a side note, I'm still doing FatMumSlim's photo challenges via Instagram. I send all of those images to my Tumblr, so stop by there and check them out. www.Rischa.Tumblr.com There are lots of pages, so when you get to the bottom of one be sure to click to the next.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I hope you have the luck of the Irish today, Blog Readers!! I spent my day at the Antique Extraviganza at Renninger's Farmers and Flea Market with Joel. I found 6 used books for $9 and a bunch of bright, pretty radishes for a buck. (I'll be sketching those, not eating them. Yuck!) Now I'm snuggling with Sheldon and watching a Friends marathon on TBS.

Leesburg Art Festival

It's time I be more consistent with this poor little ignored blog of mine. So, I will stop being a perfectionist and waiting until I have time to compose a perfect post with perfectly edited images and only the MOST interesting of topics. You may see more blog entries via BlogPress from my phone, but at least there will be consistency.

So, with all that being said, here are some photos from today's outing to the Leesburg FL Art Festival.

View from where we entered the festival.


Leesburg Library


Tropic Theater.


Another view of the Fest.


Another view of what I think is a beautiful library building.


Yet another view of the festival.


A fair in front of the mall. We did a little shopping after the art Fest.


And I saved the best for last. My hubs, Joel. :-)

Mount Dora Art Walk

We went to another Art Walk in Downtown Mount Dora last night. It was unusually cold for Central FL. I think it was in the lower to mid 40s while we were there. We're normally a lot warmer here, so we didn't stay as long as we have in the past. This Art Walk was apparently a special one, but we were unaware until we got home. Ha! Yeah, we pay attention. I guess the FL Highwaymen were there with a special exhibit in the Donnelly Building. We didn't go up that far, so we didn't see them. No problem, though. They'll be there until Sunday at 5, so we can go back.

The big party seemed to be at the Mount Dora Center for the Arts. We didn't bother trying to go in because it was shoulder to shoulder already. That's not my idea of fun. Here's the Center during the day.

Next door is the Artisan Gift Shop. Isn't that the cutest sign?

My favorite new place to go is the Bowersock Gallery. The art there is just fantastic and so interesting to me. Joel and Kolby even seem to enjoy the place. It's new to Mount Dora. I believe they have a sister gallery up north somewhere.

I don't have any photos of the art. They generally frown upon taking photos of art in galleries and museums, ya know. But I did manage to get a couple photos of the guys and some Christmas decor that they've yet to take down. Which I can totally understand. It's beautiful and must have taken a lot of work to put up.

Since I didn't get any photos of myself while there, here's one I took when I got home. I couldn't let my good hair and make-up day go to waste.

Hint and Test

There is a problem with my recent posts where I used Blogpress from my phone. I found a fix for the problem, so this is a test to make sure it works AND a hint at what I'm working on creatively.
