Tintype Saloon Frolics

Evening and long purrs, my glorious and gifted Big Felines... okay, this is what research for a story will get you, sometimes. During her spit-polishing edits, the Kougar included this in BRANDED BY THE TEXANS ~

Dillon raised his brows, a master of intimidation when he wanted. His gaze penetrated like an Old West gunslinger. Dono knew, since he kept a tintype collection in his private rooms.

So, moi headed to the internet for a little searchie of tintypes... voila, the above pic from a place in Branson, Missouri, that specializes in these kind Old West, Civil War pictures ~ http://aoldtimephot.com ~ Yep, this Big Cat had a good laugh over these willing-lookin’ saloon ‘ladies’.

The Kougaress would have shared a pic of a shapeshifting Woodpecker. However, it has a copyright. You can view these two impressive pictures at Coast to Coast am... in the pics section.

Here’s the story that went with it. Plus, the website is fascinating.

SEDONA WOODPECKER SHAPESHIFTS

The photo on the left shows a woodpecker and the one next to it shows that the woodpecker shapeshifted into a man with a red cap. Shapeshifting is a common theme in mythology and folklore where a person or animal changes in physical form or shape.

What makes these photos even more amazing is that they were taken in Sedona, Arizona, an area well-known for its vortex and portal energies. Also the area where this photograph was taken is close to Boynton Canyon where the Yavapai-Apache Indians believe is the birth place of their Eve who had a daughter referred to as the "First Lady" mother to all of the Yavapai people.

The Yavapai Creation story recounts how the beautiful lady was sealed in a log with a Woodpecker at the beginning of a great flood that lasted 40 days. After the flood, the story tells how the Woodpecker freed the young woman from the log and guided her to the summit of Mingus Mountain where she met the Sun who fell in love with her. She returned to Boynton Canyon in Sedona bathed in an enchanted pool and gave birth to a daughter referred to as the "First Lady".

What If They Don't Come?
By Crystal Kauffman
I had to sigh while reading Serena’s earlier post because in the not too distant past, ideas popped in from so many places I had to cull through to find the ones with the most potential.
~~~
On Serena Shay’s blog she provides a link to an article about e-pirating which interviews a major downloading pirate ~
Moi’s comment ~

Serena, I scanned the article.

There's one point I rather agree with, when it's a faceless big corporation, people aren't likely to care as much...
Course, what they don't understand is in the small print/e-pub biz, they're stealing from us individual author/artists.

I don't think a lot of folks understand that's like stealing from a mom and pop business.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Sylva felt her husband’s growl as if it lived inside her, both extreme bliss and as a ruthless force. The breast he stroked craved exactly what his touch provided, while her other breast burned for his attention, again. “Sylva.” His voice wasn’t quite as deep as his growl, yet it reverberated through her, pleasing every fiber of her body as much as his slow-hand caresses. “Oh, yes,” she moaned. The fullness of her breast reveled in every gentle slide of his fingers and his palm. Her nipple peaked to a harder point, then ached for anything he wanted to do.

Zeke brushed his thumb on the inner swell of his woman’s swollen breast. All his. His forever. As he molded and shaped the abundant curves of her breast, he felt like an artist, a musician playing his woman’s exquisite body. The satin of her skin tormented his fingertips with pleasure, the sensations so beautifully carnal, he wanted to explode inside with it. “God, darlin’, we need to explore every way of lovemakin’ there is.” She whimpered, a wild soft trill of sound, that stabbed into him both sweetly and hotly His loins raged. “Passion,” she murmured. “Every way of passion. Please.”
