Still waiting....

Still waiting.....

Apparently, some of us are too bored to wait any longer... It's nap time.

While they sleep, I will share some photos that I
took this weekend with you all.

Here is the last Cinnamon I have from 09', and I think she is a lovely example of the morph. She is not a stunning example, but an obvious Cinny and a great feeder as well.

I absolutely love the dark morphs in terms of the subtleness and the magic that they can provide in combinations. I think I've touched on that a few times in the blog, but every time I see a Cinny or Black Pastel, I am reminded again.


And Yellowbellies? Also subtle, but amazing...

I adore this female for her flames, and I really loved taking pictures of her. Ivories in her future? NO WAY! She's my combo gal... Now what combos? I'm not sure. Something that needs some flames on the side.

And of course, one of those that everyone loves, the Pied. This gal was my last 09' Pied, and I absolutely love her. She is my highest white pied that I have produced, and I really like looking at her. I hope to make more this season, and horde them all!

Hopefully Pastel Pieds as well, but we shall see. Add some yellow to this gal, and BAM!

Oh eggs, come soon please.

I can't wait to see baby snakes...

Oh wait, Eggs??? 

It's time to wake up! 

Bo-Bo the dumbo rat says "Have a GREAT day, my friends!!"

Yellowbelly MADNESS!!!

Recently, I acquired from a friend some Yellowbellies.

Why do you need more Yellowbellies, Heather? Don't you have Pastel Yellowbellies and Yellowbelly combos?

Yes, yes I do.

But these Yellowbellies blew me away in terms of color and flames, I just had to have them.

These two girls are AMAZING examples of Yellowbellies, and I am glad to have them in the arsenal.

I didn't take any belly shots (they were both pretty pissed off when these photos were taken), so bear with me. You can see, however, the beautiful flames rising from the sides of this gal. She is a bit paler, and has a great pattern, and I am very pleased with her.

But...

Her sister outshines her.

Yes, she is that orange. And yes, her flames are that bright.

I can't WAIT to use this female into something... I really love this gal.

Maybe I would call her Flamey.

She's not a fire, but she is ON FIYUH! (Pronounced Fai-yuh)

I cannot explain how important Yellowbellies are for a collection, in terms of the possibilities that they add to any morph in terms of combinations. Ivories are amazing in their own right, but Yellowbellies brighten up everything they touch, and they have awesome flames to boot!

Not sure what my plans are for these gals as of yet (I have a few years to plan that out), but I know it will be a lot of fun figuring it out!

Anyway, have a great and wonderful day, my friends.

Yellowbellies and a Special Surprise

There have been times where I see Yellowbellies out there and I think, Wow, that looks really nice!

And then I think, well, they kinda look like something Special.

And then I got the idea to take some pictures. This is my youngest Yellowbelly female, and she is beautiful in her own right. Nice and golden, with awesome flames up the sides, and a nice reduced pattern.

But in comparison to the Special, there is a significant visual difference to the trained eye.

Brighter colors in the Special, more busy type of pattern, and overall more eye catching compared to the Yellowbelly. 

Now, a Yellowbelly does not have a Yellowbelly. It just has side lines that tend to be mottled and off color, and can be considered yellow to some. 

So with that being said, let us compare bellies, shall we?

Can you tell which is which? 

The one on the left is the Yellowbelly, the one on the right is a Special. 

WOWEE!! Seems like they are somewhat similar, no?

Yes. They are somewhat similar. 

So it is really one of those odd ball morphs that is subtle. 

Hopefully I have helped some of you out there who are looking for that Special in your collection. 

Some say they look like Vanillas. Some say they look like Yellowbellies. Some, kinda like Fires.

To me, they look like Specials.

I know that isn't what you really wanted to hear, but... It's tough to describe. Hopefully it was enough for now.

Have a fantastic day, my friends.

JOY in COMPUTING!

Well, this weekend, we finally got the new computer, and it is a Mac.

I LOVE IT!

It is so much faster, cleaner, and nicer than my 5 year old Dell.

I have to say, I'm very pleased with having a new computer and it is really really exciting to have something like this to enjoy.

I am just enjoying the fact that it is FAST!

I can also finally do more with the photos I have, as well as not have to worry about loading things and it taking 15 minutes of my time.

This is not to say that because its a Mac that it is better than a PC, but I am really enjoying it. So, to those who told me to get a PC, I'm sure I'd be this excited to have it as well, as I had a really slow and old computer for the longest time.

So, this weekend has been enjoying the computer, transferring all the data I had on the PC onto the Mac, and so I've dredged up a few old photos to share while I go thru all the photos and organize them.

 One of my Crestie gals.

One of my Yellowbellies. I love this morph. Maybe I'll do a blog on them soon!

And Spotty McGillicutty. He is sporatically working it this season, so I will be surprised if I get any Bees this year, but I'm still letting him try!

So give me a bit to get my stuff together on this new computer, and as always, let me know if you have any questions that I can approach on a blog. 

Have a fantastic day, my friends. 

By the way, I greatly dislike Daylight Savings Time. Hopefully you all are doing better than I in terms of getting up and moving around. 

Bleh.
