My grandson Jack (12) sent me this sunset photo he took, probably after Swim Team practice. I thought it had a nice mood to it.

Looks like Van Gogh
“Quick Anna. Get my phone. Take pictures for me” we rolled down her window.
I’d picked her up at cross country practice about four. On the way home the Ohio landscape was reminiscent of Van Gogh’s Wheat Fields and Cypresses to me but I was driving. Anna kept shooting. Thanks Anna for capturing the scene.
I loved the addition of the bright school crossing sign
Columbus Skyline Captured by Jack
From the top floor of a hospital parking lot. Columbus, Ohio. Jack (12) texted me his photograph from this vantage point. You know it pleases me when a grandchild sees something, takes a photograph and sends it to me. I told him he is honing his eye. He asked me, is that good? Yes, it is.
Waiting for Pick Up
Guest photographer is granddaughter Maura (10). The neighbor’s trash.

Rainbow over Carrie Furnace Caught by Maura
We were headed over the Rankin Bridge on our way to the Waterfront. It started to rain while the sun was out. I pulled into the Rivers of Steel parking lot when the rainbow appeared. We walked across the wet grass and I gave Maura my phone and she captured the rainbow!
That’s the Monongahela River and the structure is Carrie Furnace a National Historic Landmark

Fabric Stash
A pretty bundle of fabric to quilt
Colleen shops for colorful quilt fabric
Colleen says “I have a huge stash of fabric that I like to look at for inspiration. Some I have had for many years and almost everything was purchased in the US. I order online occasionally but it gets expensive with taxes, customs and shipping and delivery to Canada can take a long time – so much for instant gratification! Currently Florida is my “go to” shopping locale because I’m there at least once a year. Found a great quilt shop in St. Augustine” http://www.beesquiltshop.com
Here is Colleen, looking to the sun.
Colleen’s cookbook shelves were featured on the blog about five years ago

She said the alpacas are nice and don’t spit at you like llamas They are like dogs. Plus they poop in the same place everytime..
Anna, thanks for sending the photos.
