I apologize for the delayed response, but I have such a slow Internet connection when I'm home that I can't open my blog to manage comments. (Crazy, huh? That's just far West Texas for you... I don't have to fight crowds at the mall, either, so I don't complain too loudly about the limitations of life in the mountains.) <br /> We're currently&nbsp;in Big Bend, and will be here&nbsp;until late January... its my annual painting sabbatical and escape. (I both paint on location AND my husband and I hike, relax and escape from the demands of marketing, galleries and everyday life.) I do have high speed Internet here, so&nbsp;I just read thru several of your writing blogs and, subscribed. <br /> Next, I will go to Barnes and Noble and download THE TERRITORY onto my Nook. Jim and I are both avid readers, love mysteries, and I look forward to reading yours. (I recommended it to Front Street Books in Alpine, btw, and also to Toi Fisher, the librarian in Fort Davis. Regional writings are very popular among local readers because we all love the borderlands so much... Folks who don't love the place can't overlook its hardships, which are many!)<br /> Thanks again for contacting me and giving me your website.<br /> And if there's any info you need on the area, just let me know!<br /> Lindy Severns</span> tag:blog.lindycseverns.com,2011-12-03:13488315 Tricia Fields http://www.triciafields.com 2011-12-03T13:19:09Z 2011-12-03T13:19:09Z <span> </span>Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog. I'm writing a mystery series set in West Texas, but I live in Indiana. A newspaper reporter asked me how I am able to write about the region without living there, and I mentioned several blogs as one of the ways I connect to the area. Yours is one of them. I just read this post again about the wildfire and it's very touching. Just wanted to thank you for sharing! If you're interested - you can see my West Texas photographs that connect to the book on my website at: <a href="http://www.triciafields.com">www.triciafields.com</a> tag:blog.lindycseverns.com,2011-02-10:4937940 Sandy 2011-02-10T14:04:03Z 2011-02-10T14:04:03Z I love your word pictures, as well as your painting...makin' me homesick. tag:blog.lindycseverns.com,2010-10-27:3859980 Sandy 2010-10-27T21:52:11Z 2010-10-27T21:52:11Z I can't print WOW big enough for that awesome sky! tag:blog.lindycseverns.com,2010-10-11:3740023 Sandy Nennett 2010-10-11T13:50:18Z 2010-10-11T13:50:18Z I love that -"finding magnificence in the mundane." And you do it so well! I always said that what I do is "celebrate the ordinary." tag:blog.lindycseverns.com,2010-09-02:3542789 Barbara Bruner 2010-09-02T22:30:40Z 2010-09-02T22:30:40Z WOW! I feel like I've could walk right in..... Fantabulous!!!! tag:blog.lindycseverns.com,2010-08-27:3512111 Voni 2010-08-28T01:40:08Z 2010-08-28T01:40:08Z And you do it so very well! tag:blog.lindycseverns.com,2010-02-09:2806149 Mike Davidson http://www.visitbigbend.com 2010-02-09T05:46:39Z 2010-02-09T05:46:39Z goodness, I hope the "egg" is intact and the location it was recovered from documented exactly. I do not know of any dinosaur egg finds in the area and that would create quite a stir. There are a lot of hadrosaurs around, some species of which have been documented to have exhibited nurturing behavior and nest protection. Avian is not a word used with dinosaurs, but if it were actually a pterosaur egg, that would be more amazing indeed, and just about never heard of. dinosaurs did turn into birds; their bone structure is a dead give-away, but the big ones weren't the ones to make the jump, it was the chicken sized raptors. tag:blog.lindycseverns.com,2010-02-03:2784744 Sandy http://www.sandybennett.org 2010-02-03T14:59:00Z 2010-02-03T14:59:00Z My sister and I have painted at Big Bend each year with the OPS. I understand the feeling in your innards when you see that incredible vastness and light and color. It is indescribable -to me anyway, but you do it so well with your words and your paintings. This painting really soars! A special baby that just flew from the end of your arm and, if you're like me, you don't know how and feel that you can never do it again...until it happens again and amazes you even more. I look forward to your blog and am so excited when it arrives. Thank you for sharing those wonderful 'innard feelings' with us and "remember to breathe" as my sister and I always have to remind each other. tag:blog.lindycseverns.com,2009-06-29:2213289 Mary Edith Waddell 2009-06-29T09:50:22Z 2009-06-29T09:50:22Z <span> </span>What a wonderful surprise to discover your website!
