Two Interviews and a trip to the beach

First, I must warn you: there are going to be a LOT of pictures in this post. You have been fairly warned.

But first, two interviews must come. First we were able to interview our Aunt Hanna, who is sadly gone currently, but will hopefully come soon:) So, without further ado...

6. If you could dis-invent one thing what would it be? guns.
7. If someone were to break into your house what would you least want stolen? old cards and letters I have gotten in the past.
8. If you were to be one book character who would it be? Katniss Everdeen (behind the scenes: Our Uncle Davey, when hearing this said" No way. Hanna could not do that, because katniss is the awesome, tough person")
9.What would you consider your greatest downfall? I worry to much.
10. What is your most defining trait? My humor. (many objections from Uncle Davey followed.)
11. If you could go anywhere , where would that be? Somewhere in the Caribbean.

He drew us one of the pictures he most likes drawing:

And a picture of him...

So, as for a trip to the beach...








That is just a sampling of the photos I was planning on putting but, eh, I was getting bored of watching all the pictures upload.
I was seriously debating posting this because I was not sure what I thought of the rhyme scheme but I am giving in. Please be honest and tell me what you think. i enjoy criticism, it helps me learn:)



The Beach

The blues and greens of the ocean deep
Sea foaming up against the sandy shore
Only a fool would choose to weep
Then the waves draw back again and roar

Overhead a seagull does screech
The waves crash up against the rocks
Seagull swoops near to the ground yet does not quite reach
The water, I fear, has forgotten to knock

A crab scuttles across, speckled red and white
A starfish nearly washed away with the water
Crab shields from the sea, squeezing between a rock tight
Starfish holding on, afraid that it might have caught her

The sun is setting below the hills
Sea otter pops his head up, then down
Such a beautiful sight, mine own heart it did fill
The beach falls asleep without a sound. 

So, what do you think? 
ANd a few random pictures because it makes me feel good:)...














   Which is your favorite? I'll be back soon.

Layla.

Pictures, poetry and randomness (Laylas post)

I've been taking a lot of photos lately and I decided I'd post them on here along with some older favorites. Enjoy.






And some more...










and I regret to say I did my bird post a day to early...







 And we've had fun with bubbles...







That is enough pictures for now. I will save the rest for more posts. I will now show you a poem I wrote.

Nonexistent

I asked you not to go this far
But listen you did not.
Instead you went to plenty of trouble
And look what you have brought.

 I have no reflection
Yet  I am not dead
However alive does not fit my description
I merely don't exist.


There are plenty of pictures of me on my wall
Yet that wall was never built
I cannot see how you are not
Extremely ridden with guilt.

The reason I am writing this
Is so you do not
Follow in my footsteps
Or much sadness will be wrought.

Did you like it? 
Just one more thing for you awesome possum people.
I have a tendency to do this...

 And last but not least...

Yes, that is my gollum stuffed animal. Did I ever mention i love gollum?
Bye you awesome people. Thanks for reading. Please comment and tell me what you think.
