I've so enjoyed all the photos from the Queen's birthday celebrations and photo shoots! Beautiful skies you captured, too.

Seeing your cow picture reminds me that a number of years ago something similar was done in Toronto - only they had moose instead of cows. They were certainly fun to see.Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658769959823060195.post-45103290729784322112016-04-24T05:46:09.167+12:002016-04-24T05:46:09.167+12:00The sky photo is gorgeous!

A video has been circulating on social media of a photo for every year of her life and she really looks lovely for every one of her 90 years. I hope if I live that long I will be as active and bright as she is! God save our gracious Queen...long live our noble Queen.

She was just originally named Elizabeth (until Rick decided she was a Les Mis-type orphan and needed Cosette as a middle name!). I often call my girl Lilibet when she's being especially sweet! I admire that woman so much.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658769959823060195.post-301293748077794832016-04-23T03:45:13.425+12:002016-04-23T03:45:13.425+12:00Dear Shane,

Until this week I didn't know you had a "job;" there's always more to learn about one another.

It helps that I love my job and that it isn't really to 'an office'.<br />The Queen's smile says it all - what an example of duty and dignity she is!<br />Skies - I photograph the sunrise nearly every day. This morning I was on the beach by 0545 but the sky was thick with cloud and it is now raining. No complaints though, as we have been pretty dry for weeks.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658769959823060195.post-90646301844117043442016-04-23T02:16:42.547+12:002016-04-23T02:16:42.547+12:00Good Morning, Shane,
