Hop on the bus, and let’s get rolling.

Here is a cute puppy angel.

A happy turtle.

I have no idea what all this is.

A cute rosemary bush.

Now we’re talking.

A wire hen with stone eggs.

A doubtful frog.

An intense Cardinal.

Need help with this one.

A Valentine’s Day decoration.

You must look carefully, but here is another Valentine’s Day nod.

I hope you liked the tour. Time to sit back, enjoy the food and music, and get ready for the game. Here’s wishing you a lovely week.

I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

  4. I’m certainly not sure, but that flag might be from Graverz Esports.
    The rest of the pictures are cute, but that menu is too long for me to decide. I’ll stay watching the Bears!! lol

  6. The turtle is my favorite, but I’ll bet that odd collection of ‘whatever’ that includes the antler is an assortment of souvenirs from walks in the woods or wherever. I was a rock collector as a kid, and I still bring home a lot of ‘natural souvenirs.’

  22. I’ve never seen such an “intense” expression on a Cardinal’s face — he looks ready to do battle! I love the puppy angel, though I hope somebody didn’t really lose a pup to the Rainbow Bridge.

  25. Your neighborhood always has the most interesting sights.

    The 1985 Bears (especially the defense) were one of the best teams I ever saw. William “The Refrigerator” Perry got a lot of attention, but that entire defense was loaded. Enjoy the game today.
