LINES. Cheri Lucas Rowlands challenged WordPress bloggers to find lines through their lens. Here is my gallery of lines. Jet trails and kite tails. Sculpture, railroad tracks, smokestacks and jello layers.

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
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.






Taking a moment to veer off the real time track and go to the archives to respond to this week’s photo challenge-smile!
Thanks Ben Huberman at WordPress.








For this week’s challenge, point your camera at something or someone that puts a smile on our face (or just show a smiling face)
“Share your happy place” asked Cheri Lucas Rowlands at WordPress.
A place you want to return to again and again. A favorite place.

Sunrise at a beach, the ocean waves rhythmic sound, and the added bonus – knitting and coffee.

Knitting, of course. The Weekly Photo Challenge created by Krista Stevens
“How would you fill in the blank?” I’d Rather Be…
So many possibilities.
I was knitting at a friend’s home, Finishing up these PairPerfect Socks. The Regia yarn 75% wool 25% nylon designed by Arne and Carlos is dyed so it turns out looking like you really did something fancy. You get two identical socks, knit from the top down. When the colors change, you go on to the next step. It falls into almost mindless knitting category.
Jen H. Challenges bloggers to tell a story visually. Here’s a seven photo series telling the story of Charlie learning to manage the springy Curious George monkey- in-the-box. My favorite the last picture. I wonder what he was saying to the monkey.

Charlie (2 1/2) was in his astronaut suit after breakfast, ready for lift off before Ben Huberman at WordPress challenged bloggers to show Out of this World.

(Ben did say it could be a loose interpretation of the theme)
