Looking for Ducks!

Photo Challenge Day 20: Favorite photo I've ever taken


I believe this is my favorite.  I just love this shot of my grandson, Padraic, and my hubby.  Every time I see it I smile.

A Favorite Possession

Photo Challenge Day 14:  Time



When one of my sons was a young teen, he purchased this clock for me for Christmas.  He spent a lot of his hard earned money at a little clock shop that was probably overpriced.  He knew that I liked mahogany wood and he knew I had always wanted a mantle clock. It meant so much to me and still does.  I no longer have a mantle in my home, but this little clock now sits on my the little table in my entry hall.

From a Low Angle

Photo Challenge Day 12





I had to get on the floor to get these shots, and wouldn't you know, I guess I breathed in something foreign and had an asthma attack!  Sheech!

Have a favorite?

Days 6 and 8

I'm a little late with Day 6 of the photo challenge.  On the sixth our lovely grand daughter, Courtney,
graduated High School and it was a full day. Here she is with her brother and sister and her "extra sister"  (foreign Exchange Student, Katrine, from Denmark).  (Sorry the picture is so bad--My camera setting was just not right for the evening.) Of course this activity fulfills the day's photo challenge which was "Hat"!

(This is what I see, if I open my eyes, at 6 AM! Light just peeking in around my window shade.)

Strawberries!

Photo Challenge Day 7: Drink

(This is obviously not a drink.  I have previously posted my favorite drink, in the very first post of this challenge.  See it here, so I took the liberty of showing you a bit more of my patio in a close-up.)


Well, my strawberry pot is well on it's way to producing!  I have 12 Junebearing plants in the pot on my patio.  Six of them are Rainer and the other six are Hood (Fragaria x ananassa) strawberries.  If you are not familiar with these names or varieties, these are names of Northwest mountains.  Mt Rainer is in Washington State and Mt Hood is in northern Oregon.  Both are sleeping volcanoes with beautiful snow covered peaks.  I see Mt. Hood daily from the streets of my town. Maybe I will show that in a few days.
