I’ve been seeing such breathtaking colors in the sky over the past week. Such a beautiful combination of blues, purples, reds, oranges, pinks and greys. This is why I live where I do… I will not buy a house until I can comfortably afford a place with a comparable energy and view. I love my lagoon and the animals that live there… The family of geese with 7 new babies, our foxes, raccoons, possums and the slew of birds that call this place home, too.

My answer to anyone who wants to put up a personal website, blog, photo page, etc, quickly is Google Pages. It’s google’s elegant solution to easy web publishing. You can upload photos, change the layout, add content, do whatever you want. It’s not the best if you’re going to be blogging A LOT, but it will at least get you started. It’s easier than setting up a server with wordpress and the admin is more user friendly. Check it out… All my friends should have websites! I wish I could help everyone out personally, but if I helped every friend that asked me for a website it would end up consuming so much of my time that I’d never have a life.
