The Day of the Jackal by maggiemae

The Day of the Jackal

The Jackal is also known as Anubis, half man half Jackal and is the guardian and protector of death. This is a shot glass for tequila and the jackal is outlined here absorbing the light from life itself! Thus there will be no ending here - just keep on slurpinnngg tequila! Cheersh!

It was late at night and I hadn't taken any photo - had to think of something!

Three good things:
1. Youngest son messaged from Canada saying 'baby on the way" However nothing more after 17 hours. Champagne is ready!
2. Manuscript is being worked on once again as Publishers say its going to cost $3650 to edit it over there! Its just commas and numerals.
3. A visit from my sister who lives up north. They have been skiing over in Wanaka. Mary just ski's in the cafe.
I like the light and colours.

A glowing fiery jackal ....hot stuff! Three super good things......I hope you are a new grandma by now! Down the hatch with the champers! I love the skiing in the cafe...that's how I like to ski! Work lots more on the manuscript.....I think they are a little steep with the cost!

@happypat It was hours yesterday Pat, trying to find all the numerals under 101 in the script - the rules. My grammar check doesn't find anything wrong with my comma usuage! And not a grandma yet - a slow labour - 23 hours!
September 1st, 2015  
Yeah for baby coming. Great tones here!

@happypat Whats the first one? then theres a bottle to feed while drinking martinis?
September 1st, 2015  
I hope all is well with the baby by now! A long labor is so fatiguing for mum! Mad skills to pull such a wonderful picture out of thin air! Creatively done! You think well under stress!
September 1st, 2015  
@grammyn I had to keep drinking the red wine I put here to give me strength, Katy! No baby news yet!
September 1st, 2015  
@maggiemae thumbs up!!
September 1st, 2015  
@maggiemae I was going to mention that maybe the drink helped influence the shot a bit! ;~}

Bep
Love your three good things! Any news about the baby?
September 1st, 2015  
Interesting capture, shot glass and info. My first was over 24 hours in labor, my third almost arrived in the car on the way to the hospital.
September 1st, 2015  
@janiskay Pleased to hear about your first - its now 24 hrs!
September 1st, 2015  
@gijsje Either they are too busy doing things or they are still waiting, Bep!
September 1st, 2015  
Oh the waiting would kill me,,, I have to have lots of wine & chocolate around
September 2nd, 2015  
@happypat @gijsje @janiskay C section but baby fine and parents too! He sent a photo but its only a few hours old and just looks like a baby!
September 2nd, 2015  
@maggiemae love this comment....won't be long when he or she will be the most beautiful, most talented, best look , smartest child on the face of the earth! You didn't say boy or girl?
September 2nd, 2015

September 2nd, 2015  
congratulations on your new grandchild, maggiemae. whereabouts is your son and family here in canada?

and holy camoley! $3,650 for editing?!? i should start charging my friends for editing their work and their manuscripts! :-)
September 2nd, 2015  
@summerfield They are in Calgary, Vikki - and yes, I can edit with my grammar check - did do English at school too!
September 2nd, 2015  
@maggiemae - that's where my grandsons now live with their mom and stepfather. i'm giving them a surprise visit next month during our thanksgiving here. wish you could come and we could have a meet up!
September 2nd, 2015  
@summerfield Nice thought - we are planning a trip but a bit later - maybe next year. Its such a long way but we could take it in stages - like a migrating bird!
September 2nd, 2015  
hey i get to say congratulations, and good health for mom and baby. and dad!
September 2nd, 2015  
Neat shot and tones
September 2nd, 2015  
@chard Thank you Richard - they both are not young so either they are experienced enough to handle hindrances or old enough to forget them!
September 2nd, 2015  
Cheers, and Congratulations on your new granddaughter!
September 2nd, 2015  
LOL cool shot!
September 2nd, 2015  
Very cool
September 2nd, 2015  
Congratulations on the safe arrival of your new granddaughter.
September 2nd, 2015  
Congrats to all on the arrival of the new lady in the family! Name? How about a champagne photo for tonight?
September 2nd, 2015  
I've got a hangover just looking at your capture, nothing better than a new baby, I'm going all gooey.
September 2nd, 2015  
Many congratulations John & maggiemae on the birth of your new granddaughter....that little dress will be perfect!
September 2nd, 2015  
Congratulations on the mini human! Now there's another reason why I don't put more than a few words together - $3,650!
September 2nd, 2015  
@happypat I forgot to tell them that the wee dress was made in Oamaru and the wool would have come from around!
September 2nd, 2015  
@sdutoit I would have done a champagne photo, Sylvia but John had to go out for dinner at the Lions and I didn't want to open a bottle just for me! Anyway you always have to toast with somebody!
September 2nd, 2015  
Congrats on new baby girl. Love the colours and light in this shot. We used to say that new babies, especially boys, all looked like little Winston Churchills. No idea where this saying came from!
September 3rd, 2015  
Life is a good busy for you right now. Enjoy it all! Of course I know you will.
September 3rd, 2015  
Beautiful shot glass, and that stuff inside looks fiery!!
September 3rd, 2015  
You managed to make an effective capture of this. Congratulations on your new granddaughter, what lovely news!
