Way Too Many Bengal Pics in the Leopard Lounge!

The Leopard Lounge got just a little bit bigger, more jungle gym! We would have some lovely tree cutting pictures, but I forgot my camera for that bit of the adventure. As it turned out, we didn't need mine after all, as Stunt Double, my Derby friend, who has actual photography skills, brought hers along.All the photos today are hers and I give you:
Way Too Many Bengal Pictures!!!

I believe it is done now, there isn't a lot more ROOM in there to add anything more. But they have bridges now, and ledges to walk around. Plenty of places to Lie In Wait and play Death From Above. This makes the Bengals Happy.

I love Mim's eyes here, she's an intense kitty, they all are, and I think Stunt Double captured that in all these shots, both with her and Venus.. I love the GREEN-green of their eyes. Sadly, Magic had had enough at this point, and decided to go in.

Since we DO have so many Bengal pics today, never a problem in my book, perhaps we can talk about a couple other things. (Mostly I just keep looking at the pictures tho, been actually trying to post this for two days and now am lying on the floor with coffee, STILL trying to think of something exciting to write. Look at the pictures. They're lovely. REALLY lovely.)

There. New paragraph, see how this works? Music! I got confirmation on fall and winter gigs last week! We've had the summer off, me to skate and Paul to get married and all, but we're really getting excited to get back to gigging. FIrst weekend is, oh yes, The Most Wonderful Weekend of the Year! Yes, Folks, Halloween Weekend! My personal favorite holiday of the year and we're playing the 28th and 29th at Charlie's Pub in Stillwater MN. I need Zombies. What's a Halloween Gig without Zombies, I ask you??? Or a webcast, hmmmm.....

I see they aren't up YET, but watch the Paul and Lorraine website for a complete listing , coming soon!

It's been a year now since I started blogging my FIT and indeed started the Journey. I have a LOT to say on this but it's the sort of thing that needs to sit around in my head a bit before I can actually write it all out for you. I want some cool pictures too. (Hello? Yeah, I have muscles now!) I can tell you, I am happy, happier than I've ever been, and if you've ever thought of...hang on. Not writing that blog today. Soon, but not today.

I will say tho: DAMM, it's been worth it.

Here's another view of the Leopard Lounge, you can see the newly expanded Jungle Gym, it's hours of fun for Bengals, and a right obstacle course for their person. As I said, we didn't get pictures of the trees coming down, we we picked a nice one, and Slam'er got in there with her chainsaw and down they came. If a tree falls in the woods and no one shoots it does it....(Sorry, had to be said. I slay myself) She took out a couple in the way junky trees while she was at it, (very handy!) LOTS more light for the Boss's fruit trees now, which will make them much happier.

Useful skill, the whole chainsaw thing. We can't possibly add anything more into the Jungle Gym, but I kind of just want to invite them over for some, um, CLEARING, chainsawing and general mayhem, just for the fun of it. Nothing says party like a chainsaw!

We made a video on Friday, which I will of course post in due time, but well, we need to wait a little before it goes public, there may have been a contest, and you may want to keep your fingers crossed for us here. We had to move fast, very fast, but fortunately Stunt Double also has video skills, and did an amazing join shooting, editing, and uploading the video all in a day. (watching the video, I question when I thought I may have had voice over skills, I'm such a DORK. But I'm you're dork and ok with that)

I will tell you it has music, and as time was tight and options were limited, I did in fact BUY two of my own Flash Girls songs off Amazon. Hope I see some of that back!

For now, just sit back and enjoy the pictures. Nothing says Good Morning like Way Too Many Bengal Pictures!
