MONTH: OCTOBER 2014

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: DESCENT

Lots of images came to mind.

The trick was digging around in the files and finding what I was envisioning for the Weekly Photo Challenge: Descent created by Cheri Lucas Rowlands at WordPress.   Her example was excellent.

Here is my gallery of descent.

Found Rainbow at Dawn

A found rainbow at dawn.

Right on my polka dot sheets. I’ve put away the flannel ones until next winter.

This week’s challenge is your place in the world.

My comfortable bed seemed a good place to start the day, finding my place in the world.

Pretty But Making Me Sneeze

Michael photographed the line of beautiful flowering trees on the way home from school this Thursday afternoon.

I was driving.

I had seen the trees on the way to pick him up and asked if he’d shoot them for me on the way home. Thanks Michael, nice job to catch them while we whizzed by.

The blossoming trees might make my eyes water and my nose run but they are so pretty.

Dandelions are good for the Bees

Dandelions are good for the bees. My friend heard it in the radio- leave the dandelions in your lawn! Saw these two lawns next door to one another at a duplex in Bloomfield. The Weekly Photo Challenge created by Krista Stevens is prolific.

Prolific creeping phlox.   Here’s an article about Dandelions and the Bees http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/dandelions-lawn-bees-1.3526394

Signs of Spring in Berlin: Weekly Photo Challenge

Awakening 2. Signs of Spring in Berlin. Real time.

Yesterday’s post was of Grandson Charlie when he was brand new, just opening his eyes- from the 2015 archives. I caused a bit of confusion as he’ll celebrate his 3rd birthday in June.
