Our home sat nestled in the woods on three and a half acres, with squirrels, woodpeckers, wild turkey, skunk, deer and ONCE a black bear.
The most enchanting time was night, when all the fireflies appeared and lit up the woods like fairy lights.
The first time I saw them I couldn't believe it!
My fellow Ozzie friend Kerrie-Lyn, had a migraine headache and believed she was seeing lights.

Fall came and I thought all the tree's had mysteriously died.
Can you imagine? never having seen this before, I was mystified.
I don't like the look... its kind of sad.
We flew the American, Rebel and Australian flags..
Ray took me to Memphis, to see Graceland's.
My understanding of Elvis Presley, took on a whole new aspect with that visit.
I came to understand and like him. To me now, he was a caring, confused, manipulated man.
I believe Priscilla has done a great job of preserving his legion.
One of our many visits was to the Devils Tower at Wyoming.
The badlands of South Dakota.
Then winter came..
I was sitting on the computer finishing off my psychology degree on-line from Australia when the first snow fell.
This was another surprise to me...
We do have snow in different area's of Oz. However, I have only been there for a week or so on holiday.
Living with snow was another story.
Because the house was warm inside and not cold, I didn't realise that snow was falling.
When I did, it was the biggest treat, and naturally, the camera came out!
And at night it was magic.

I love you America, and all the people I befriended there.
