Living in Style

I have a RL friend who reads this blog daily. She hasn't been in SL for -- well years, and most likely has no idea what her login is *wink*, but she keeps abreast of the improvements in Second Life through what she calls "The Blog".

This is post number 2501 which means that I get to change the number in my sidebar. Did I ever expect to write all these entries when I started "The Blog"? Not in my wildest dreams. Milestones are interesting. They give us a point in time to look back and to look forward. Why have I posted over 2500 times? The answer is pretty simple. I love to take pictures and I love the fact that these days I get some of the very best items that SL has to offer as my backdrops or attire.

I am a happy gal and while I am pretty sure I am not going to update the sidebar number until I reach 3000, I am also pretty sure that I will get there.

So much for philosophy -- here's the scoop on the gorgeous background in my lead photo.

The songo garden and furniture sets (separate items) are the COLLABOR88 items from [BA] otherwise known as Barnesworth Anubis. As I check his profile I note that he is 7 years and 10 months old. Now THAT is longevity!

The walled garden patio is extremely impressive and I almost gasp when I rezzed it in the moonlight. The shadows! Yeah! There is a furniture pack that includes chairs and loungers and a couch as well as an inspiring hanging candelabra, umbrella, trees in planters -- oh my.
