I can't keep up with all your posts!!!! :)

Are you going to describe your pictures for us?

Nurse Amanda Hugankiss said...

Is this the day Doctah Shoal paid a special house call to the buffet?

Gran said...

Great shots, Speedycat.

Mike Golch said...

great photos.where and what are they?

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Hi Mike ... they are from my journeys across Minnesota. I always carry my cell phone - and snap shots as I meander my way around the state.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Thanks Gran!!

I like to save my pictures here, and also share them with those that stop by :)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Nurse ... you know me all to well shweethawt

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Chris ... well, I will tell you my favorites!

Counting from top to bottom left to right

#2 was an entrance to an old builing in St Paul. Incredible wood carvings and marble showcased this vintage building


#10 is a picture of two bald eagles circling in the air. They look far with my camera, but actually flew within 30 feet of me at one point.

#19 (second to last) is going across the new 35w bridge. Yes, the one that replaced the old one that collapsed. It is still erie for me to cross this place were many lost their lives.

teeni said...

You really need to enter some cellphone photo contest. I'm sure you would win with some of these great shots you take!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Teeni ... It's funny, because I was never one to take pictures much before. Know, everytime I see something that catches my eye ... SNAP!

Chris said...

Two bald eagles? That is SO AMAZING!!!

Either you live in a particularly wonderful place in the world or you just know how to see it that way. :)

Nurse Amanda Hugankiss said...

I like the shots of the plates! Just 'cuz they represent a very Happy Speedy!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Nurse ... Ohhh yes!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Chris ... I think a little of BOTH.

Life is really that way too, I prefer to look at it with "happy glasses"

Chris said...

Yeah, I figured you just choose to see it that way.

It's a good way to be. JMO

Speedcat Hollydale said...

:-)

Chris said...

Ummmmm.... are those all DESSERTS on that plate?

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Ha haaaa!!!!!!!!!

I am busted. I also get a GIANT bowl of orange sorbet and vanilla ice cream mix ... my personal favorite.

Holidays and buffet stops are not counted in my calorie book.

Chris said...

(Picking up chin off of floor).

So, that makes FOUR desserts? Rather good-sized desserts too? OH MY GOSH!

I am so jealous!

And did you HAVE to mention that the ice cream / sorbet combo was a GIANT serving? That was just cruel!!!!

I want your calorie book! In mine, by just LOOKING at that plate, I have gained 3 pounds.

Daisy said...

I like the ones with clouds in them.

~smile~

Thanks for sharing your travels with us, Eric.

Chris said...

Wait! Is that brownie yours too? Cuz that would make FIVE.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Daisy, the sky is really the Lords canvas sometimes - isn't it??

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Chris ... TRUE story, that was just my FIRST round of deserts.

People look at me while at the buffet as though they were watching some kind of big event in history - I can eat!!!

Daisy said...

Yes! And what an amazing artist! :-)

Chris said...

I think it is so beautiful how you can see the sky in places like Minnesota.

My parents bought a house on a hill and I think it was just so they could see the sunsets. Watching them unfold is like a miracle.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Daisy

I think my all time favorite is the Northern Lights.

I could watch those for hours as they dance across the horizon.

Sometimes along the Canadian border, the colors are like oil paints flowing over glass.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Chris ... I think my favorite time to play golf is at sunset.

Nobody but me, and my own heaven on Earth :-)

Daisy said...

That sounds lovely. I've never seen the Northern Lights in person, just on tv. I really like the way you describe them. Nice poetic image that.

Michelle Gartner said...

3 desserts eh... I took my Mom to buffet this year and she had 8 desserts and she is skinnier then me and she's 57 years old and has no metabolism... I am like what's up with that. 8 desserts!!!

I lust looked at your pictures and gained a pound.

What can I do Dr. Shoal???

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Michelle ... I have a new product called the Shoal Desert Tamer in BETA.

We are looking for a test market audiance!!!

PerfectTosca said...

I notice a lot of leftover food on those plates in that one picture. I notice stuff like that. I'm a dog. Next time bring home a doggie bag for poor innocent Tosca, will ya? The Woman is very stingy with treats and I think I spot some meat there.

Michelle Gartner said...

I think my Momma has been one of your beta testers...

Chris said...

TOSCA! Hey you! What are you doing over here! Eric is not going to let you have any doggie treats, as beautiful as you are!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Michelle ... I think so too, she is on my mailing list!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Tosca ... well sure! Chris is just being silly.

How about a bowl of milk bone ice creame???

Chris said...

At least I don't think so, because of Cookie. Are you? Apparently, you have enough to share after that buffet! :) lol

Chris said...

Eric, did you just call me SILLY? I'm never silly. Now really. :)

I think Tosca particularly likes turkey. She was certainly drooling over it on her site the other day.

Chris said...

Did you realize that Tosca writes her own blog when you tagged her the other day? She's one amazing dog! Perfect, actually.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Well sure I did silly! LOL

Turkey? ... for desert?

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Cats write blogs too ... I see Daisy was over at Toskas

Chris said...

Oh well, Tosca mentioned in her first post that she has spotted some meat on your plate.

I think it is so funny when I visit blogs and find people that I already read on that person's blog too!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

I usually always subscribe to comment feeds / notifications ... do you do that too??

Chris said...

No, I just use the "follow" feature.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

I use lots of ways really ... I would have to "follow" about 200!

Chris said...

Yes, you would! You are all over the place in the blog world!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

I know some "really serious" all the time writers that do not care for me one bit.

Nothing like the "I am too cool for your blog" people ... Ha haaa!!!

Other than that, I like to meet new bloggers, not just the same small circle.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

- really glad I found your blog too!

Chris said...

"Serious all the time" people don't care for me either. I feel sorry for people that have forgotten how to laugh... and who take themselves oh-so-seriously.

Hate to break it to you, but "cool" people most likely steer clear of my blog! Especially after my mice in bonnets story! :)

I don't think you could stay in a small circle of bloggers if you tried. Too many people find you entertaining and/or thought provoking.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

@ mice and bonnets ... a masterpeice!!!!

Chris said...

LOL

At least one person thought so! :)

I think most people wanted to order me a straight jacket... or a bottle of Tylenol PM! :)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Does anyone else in your family blog Chris?

Chris said...

No. Not yet. :)

I take that back. I have no idea if my 3 half brothers blog or not.

Chris said...

Do you have other family members that blog?

I've always thought that would be really fun. I have cousins on Facebook, but that's as close as it gets.

Chris said...

Where did everyone go? Because I'm starting to feel like a blog comment hog again! :)

PerfectTosca said...

She won't let me have milkbones, dood. She says they don't have good ingredients. What the fershtunk to I care what's in them. I'm a dog. I eat cat poop for Chrissakes. She makes biscuits for me. They suck, Speedy. They really suck.

Mimi Lenox said...

That was a very interesting exercise indeed. You should make it a meme!

Speaking of memes. Tag. You're it!

Countdown Meme

PerfectTosca said...

"We are looking for a test market audiance!!!"

If it's food, I can help out.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Toska .... YOU are one funny dog!

... and I mean that in a good way :-)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Mimi ... you don't say!

I will be right over (smile)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Chris ... see, you just had to stir the comment pot!

PerfectTosca said...

Speedy, Daisy and I are person friends. She's my NOMSSF. That means Not of My Species Special Friend. Me and Daisy are close. Nobody messes with Daisy and gets out alive.

I live with three cats myownself. And believe me, the hairballs are hell.

Chris said...

Whew! :) I'm glad to see everyone back! I didn't know the comment pot had to be stirred! Speedy, you should post a sign! :)

Nurse Amanda Hugankiss said...

HEY! I C U!

Nurse Amanda Hugankiss said...

I WAS N D I C U....mopping up after Doctah Shoals...geez...whadda messy eater!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Toska ... I live with just one cat and have a hairball right now!

(cough)


ummm - now my keyboard does :-)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Chris ... wow!

You are really good at comment stirring. Can you bring Pro Blogger over??

J/K ((smile))

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Nurse ... I usually use a bib with one of those "catch pouches" ... but the cafeteria was fresh out.

Save the big chunks ehh??

Nurse Amanda Hugankiss said...

Wha?...Mouf full...

Nurse Amanda Hugankiss said...

Phantom Lord of Ultimate Darkness?!?!?

Oh that Ms MoneyPenny is soooooo creative!

Personally, I liked Bulbous Rex.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

WHAT ?!??!

Chris said...

WOOOSH! That's the sound of something going over my head. Happens a lot. :)

What is a Pro Blogger? Sounds scary. Sure you want him/her here? :) Just kidding is J/K, right?

I sure hope that doesn't sound completely stupid. I am soooo tired!!!

zzzzz

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Chris

No stooopid comments here!

Pro Blogger is a place you can find lots of comments, but never a reply - so yes, J/K (smile)

The late night tired and silly is my specialty. You fit right in!!!

Nurse Amanda Hugankiss said...

I don't like Ms. MP's name for me!!!!

In fact I got a totally different result: "Burger fourrure"

At least it makes sense! :)

Chris said...

Ahhh! I didn't know they had a name. I just keep moving on when I find those sites. :)

I am feeling even MORE tired and silly now, so good thing it's acceptable! :)

Chris said...

And now I realize that your initial Pro Blogger comment was quite witty!

Takes me awhile. LOL

Nurse Amanda Hugankiss said...

Hi Chris! Cute dog!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

OHHHH ... here you both are.

I was on the wrong post!

HA HAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

Thought I was going crazy for a moment there (smile)

Chris said...

Hi Nurse Amanda! :) That's Harley, one of my collies.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

I thought it was Lassie 3 ???

LOL

Chris said...

Did I see the word CRAZY? Oh no! The straight jacket police are already after me, ya know! This can't be good.

Chris said...

Oh. OOOPS. I was talking about my pic over in the recent visitors section. I am just surrounded by collies, it seems! :)

Nurse Amanda Hugankiss said...

CrAzY is as CrAzY does!!!!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

The recent visitors section?? ... there is a place for recent visitors??

Is there any food there?????

Chris said...

I think Eric must be on the wrong post again.

hee hee

Now THAT would be funny. :)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

I am always on the wrong post!!

ha haaaaaaaaa!

Chris said...

SILLY, it's the first thing in Widgy Land.

And there is NO FOOD. I think you should do something about that!!!

I'm hungry!

The Rev. said...

2nd to last is my favorite. Seemed to really capture the skyline quite nicely.

Kudos, good sir! (Hat tip)

Nurse Amanda Hugankiss said...

I have a burger! Wanna bite?

Nurse Amanda Hugankiss said...

Oooh...I didnt see da Rev!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Hey Rev!

That was in my top three choices too.
