My Name in Pictures!

Happy Saturday everyone!  This week's Scavenger Hunt, brought to you by Krissy at Sometimes I Think, was a pretty fun one for me!  We were instructed to choose an object that started with the letter of each letter in our first name.  I guess I took the easy way out and spelled "Val" instead of "Valerie".  Don't get me wrong, I could have done Valerie, but I guess I didn't want everyone to have to download seven pictures.  I hope you enjoy the pictures!!  The first picture I chose actually didn't start with "V".  Here I go, breaking the rules, but you will see, it may as well have started with a "V".  I call it my "V Tree".  I see this tree every time I walk out of my door.  It is across the street.  It shouts my name out at me and other various "V words" -- victory, violet, violin, Val, Val, Val, etc...  It actually tells me I am alive!  It is a grand tree and it is my tree because alot of "V" words are special to me!  So, here is my name in pictures:

                                 VTree

                    Aflac Duck

                      Lips

 

It has been so cold here.  It has been near zero degrees.  Perhaps it has dipped below zero overnight and I haven't even paid attention.  I am getting tired of winter!  The cold is seeping into my muscles and bones.  Where is the Spring?  I need Spring to come quickly!  Ah, only three more days until February and after February comes March!  I love March.  I guess I can hang on until then.  I think I can.  I think I can.  I think I can.

Take care all in J-Land and stay warm!

  5. Great pics, but like Sara, never heard of an aflac duck. Buckinghamshire is famous for it's Aylesbury ducks - pure white ones, but reckon those aflac ducks are crossbred. Keep smiling.
