"JJ Walking,Dreaming and Writing"

Recently I met someone in the Blog catalog who caught my interest by the description of their blog. "Nature and writing go hand in hand." This simple introduction is by JJLoch for her blog " Nature Shows and Dreams."
There are so many of us who want to write, and communicate to others in our daily blogs. JJ has achieved this by writing about what she knows....her home, her people and her landscape. She tells of life all around her...through the landscape, the animals and the dramatic changes in weather. With her eyes and words, Northern Michigan becomes a warm and inviting place. In her profile on Blogger she says she hopes to be an author one day. I for one think she is well on her way.

It is not often one feels comfort and familiarity when they read about places they have never been to....but JJ brings out that universal quality that touches us all. She gives us a feeling that we have been there before. JJ has a way of describing places and events that remind us of our own special memories. A very famous artist once said "the most complex thoughts are expressed with the simplest of forms". That's how I see JJ's world . It is this beautiful winter wonderland captured through her observations and her photography in a simple and truthful way. You will come away from reading JJ's postings with an excitement to return. I am including some of my favorite photos of JJ's world...Lake Huron is especially super..., I enjoy all of her postings....another special one "Painting of the Family Farm". It reminded me of my wife's family home , the smell of wood burning fireplaces that heated the rooms and a kitchen full of busy sounds and smells of holiday cooking. Treat yourself this season to a visit of " Natures Shows and Dreams"..... Robbay

"A Great Couple"

It is a wonderful Saturday morning here in sunny Florida. I hope it's not too cold or snowy where you are in these good old United States. Wouldn't it be nice if all couples went together like this one, "Cheese and Crackers". A cute cartoon to have a side of cartoons and a good day. Robbay
If your in the neighborhood today check out Molly's Blog.

Two For One Friday

Wow! Friday the 7Th of December...Where is the time going? I don't look mirror anymore, I don't recognise that fellow looking back at me. Before long Santa will be coming down the chimney. In Florida we just leave the pool door open. I hope you didn't have bad dreams like our friend? Good old Diet X is still the champ, and our Bird friends are just going to have to adjust to those trimmers if they're going to live in Hollywood. Hold on here are some cartoons on the side..Good day...Robbay
P.S. Hope you'll visit Molly's Blog for some more cartoons

"The Second Team"

Good Morning and it's a good Thursday! ...Right? ..O.K. I'm not awake yet either. How about this second team ...Think they make a good backup for Rudolf? Maybe...let's hope Bird's solar powered light will work through the night. Have a great day and another side of cartoons. Robbay

"Rudy, Rudy , Rudy!"

Good Morning and how about a political cartoon for today...Rudy Bird is running for President and with our luck he'll win ...With past history of Presidents he'll fit in nicely. Who knows, at least we have lots of material for cartoons. Have a great day and some cartoons on the side. Robbay

"Temperature Rising"

Good Morning and a happy Tuesday to you.
Well, the temperature is rising in Toon world....let's hope that's where we leave the problems of global warming. Let's hope we elect someone who will make a difference. Experts say before long the Polar bears will be extinct if we don't do something. I don't think sending them south on an iceberg is the answer....Have fun shopping , working and fooling around..Robbay

"Getting It Right"

Happy Monday morning and I hope you have a good one.
If the universe is one happy place and we are all God's creatures, then we must have something in common with the Aliens from ?????. After all if humans were helping God with creating this world, then you know somebody didn't get something quite right! Have fun today shopping, working or trying to just get it right. Maybe another side of cartoons...??Robbay

"_________X___________"

Good Morning and I hope you have a great Sunday...Little to say today...but the cartoon will speak for itself , so to speak. That old saying a picture is worth a thousand words just may be true. I do hope for us TV junkies the strike ends soon. A side of cartoons will have to do....Robbay

"The Excitement Of It All"

Excitement is what I remember, standing in line and waiting to see Santa. I was so excited I had a hard time remembering everything I wanted to say.....Most times as I can recall I told Santa some stuff that wasn't on my list out of being nervous. Funny, how I 'd tell Mom or Dad that I had told Santa about stuff that wasn't on my list and Christmas morning there it was under the tree. There is a Santa Claus! I hope you have a great Saturday and I'll see you tomorrow with a side of cartoons...Robbay

Two For One Friday

Good Morning and I for one am glad it's Friday. Seems like visitors have slowed down during this time of year....must be all the shopping and getting ready for Christmas. Here's a couple of cartoons to go with the day ...and see you Saturday with a side of cartoons.

"Mystery Answered"

Good Morning and I am bringing you a live report from Toon world.
Today we may find out one of those ridiculous questions that has confounded man's curiosity for generations. Why, did the chicken cross the road? Would the answer be the same for all chickens that attempt to cross? This is ground breaking news my friends. Surely you find it as exciting as your local six o'clock evening report and your eleven o'clock "Eye Witness."
I'm going to leave this "sensational news story to Sport McWee and go back in and have another side of cartoons...Robbay

"Not By Design"

Let's have a good Wednesday and get started with a cartoon about something we all do. Load our blogs up with too much advertising or cute little toys. There is so many clever little gadgets , buttons, music boxes , videos, meters, ads , ads, ads, . I confess I am guilty of this trap. At one time you couldn't see the cartoons for all the stuff I had hanging to the sidebars. High hopes of making some money from ads while offering a good blog subject was my goal ....I made .73 cents...I got rid of the bells and whistles ads .
We think adds are great....because we are surrounded by them all day ....in our billboards ....magazines , radio , TV ,Internet and now , our blogs. I admit , I love to try these gadgets out ...hoping to attract viewers to spend more time at my blog, but most of them only distract from the content.
I for one am going to control myself and not put too many gadgets , widgets, buttons and bells all over my blog . A few adds in good taste are fine and some informative gadgets, like the new traslators etc. that don't distract from the content.. I think our readership will improve. O.K. I'm getting off my "soapbox" and back to cartooning. Enjoy , and have a side of cartoons today.....Robbay

"Different Directions"

Good Morning and happy Tuesday to you. If only our dinosaurs could have saved us from the bubbly black glop we call oil. Yes, it did revolutionize our planet and the dinosaurs couldn't save us from our destiny. Too bad, somewhere along the way we didn't take the other direction and look up at that boiling hot sunshine as our source of real energy to develop. Can you imagine the world we would live in today...The oil staying in the caverns of the earth ,why I'm guessing we would not have so many earthquakes. The atmosphere free of pollutions, our sources of water clean and pure...nice dreams to go with a side of cartoons for today....Enjoy ...Robbay

Veiwpoint of A Mouse

Monday morning and hope your off to a good start. What would we do without our friends the mice....that is to say in discovery of ancient artifacts. I 'm sure they were the first to find a way into the scarred tombs. When Indian Jones breaks in what is he confronted with but mice running all over everything. Why? ...The cheese ...Old King Tut took a lot of cheese with him to the next life. At least that was his plan ....the mice got to the cheese first, they don't care about the gold and jewels They left that stuff for us to fight over. Hope you have a good day and a side of cartoons.
