Pretty posts to ponder! Part I

And a happy Saturday to you! We are in the throes of a serious heat wave and I am personally so over it, I want 70's, no humidity and cool breezes..is that too much to ask? I cannot believe that 51% of the country has been experiencing this heat wave...it seems unprecedented and a little frightening the way we are shattering records all over the place! My utmost respect goes to those who are having to brave these temperatures on the job, such as the firefighters, construction workers,etc.....it is admittedly almost too much to imagine doing in these crazy temperatures.   Fall doesn't seem like such a horrible four letter word anymore, lol. 
Anyway doing something a little different today. Whenever I read a post I love, I bookmark it immediately under my file entitled "favorite posts" so that I can go  back to look at them at a later time to either drool or reference or both. I have accumulated quite the collection as you can imagine, so today I am posting several random posts from some of my favotite blogs (even one of my own that I can't help but love) don't mean for it to be or sound egotistical, its just the pictures in it that I love and the way they "take me away'. So thought you might also enjoy checking  out some of these favorite picks too. (As you can see by my labeling this post "part 1" there will be more to come in the future).  Let me know what you think..have a favorite? Love to know! Enjoy your Saturday and stay cool! 
And in no particular order here we go.....
