Week 25 Theme ~ Crave
Yesterday – the first official day of summer, temperatures were in the 50’s, rain poured down all day and wind gusts were over 40 mph. The weather is no different today. I CRAVE sun, warm temperatures and a trip to the beach!
Week 23 Theme ~ Enchanted
I took this photo of these beautiful flowers on a crab apple tree in our backyard. When we moved to our house nearly 12 years ago, this tree didn’t look as though it would make it another year. Woodpeckers had made holes in the trunk. There were several dead branches. As the years passed by, I kept thinking the tree had bloomed for the last time. But once again this year, the buds opened to display these pretty blooms. I took this photo last week just a couple of days before we had strong winds that made the pedals cascade down like rain making our backyard look enchanted.
Week 21 Theme ~ A Need For Speed
Our very old swing set is still a favorite place for the kids to spend time after school. Sophia and Sebastian both swing so high that they brush the tree branches behind them.
I also had the opportunity to photograph the Hon. James L. Oberstar as it was being towed in place behind the DECC for its christening during the “need for speed” theme week. Mike would not have enjoyed the location for taking the photographs – on top of the DECC Arena roof. It was a little freaky to be that high up, but I stayed several feet from the edge. There was not much “speed” in this photo, but slow and steady helped to get the ship in its very tight port behind the DECC.
Week 22 Theme ~ Reflection
With all of the craziness of this past week, including my birthday, baseball games, practices, volleyball, grad parties, etc., I didn’t have time to take a “reflection” photo. Instead, here is a favorite reflection from last year at Hartley pond on Father’s Day.
