A Photo A Day for June PROMPTS & photos

The template looks great!

I take my tiny friend on walks with me on Weekend mornings. She eats Cheerios and usually yells at me about something in baby talk. I take photos of nature. Usually macro but I was too lazy for macro this weekend so I made her model.

NEW- newest card I made. For DH for Father's Day by Nylene Budge, on Flickr  This is out of order for day #18

QUIET- living room without pillows and blankets, toys and games and grandchildren. The house is so quiet! by Nylene Budge, on Flickr  It's amazing how empty the house now feels. #19

betty, I love that osprey photo.  So interesting to see him eating the fish.  Great shot.

LisaDV, just looking out the back of that boat makes my stomach nervous.  I have such terrible seasickness.  How did you daughter do?  I love all those trees along your "path".

grammadee, nice photo of your robin. We have several that live in our yard and I love to watch them.  I love the page of all your photos.  I wish I had  someone who could come spend a day with me to teach me a little about digi scrapping.  I'd still do mostly paper, but it would be nice to know how to do something else too.

sleepingbooty, you are making me so jealous posting photos around the beautiful water. I know I couldn't go boating, but would love just sitting and looking.

msliz, your photos are beautiful.  Everything looks so pretty and green where you live.  We are already having grasses turn brown. I have to tell you a funny about the purple allium(?). Mom had some of those and a neighbor was always telling her how much bigger, brighter, prettier her flowers were than mom's.  Those purple flowers lose their color quite quickly in the season and are just brownish. One day my mom got an idea, and took some bright scarlet floral spray and painted her brown ones red.  The neighbor was so irritated that she couldn't find where to get starts of the red ones. My mom was the kindest woman and was never vindictive...except this one time.  She never did tell her! I always snicker when I see those flowers.

ecvnj58, your tiny friend is adorable.  What a beautiful area you were in. It looks so lush and green. Thanks for sharing.

kellyr21, thank you for those lovely palm trees.  I don't know why I am so fascinated by them, but I would look at all the different palms in Calif forever.  You are so sweet to think of me.

Things are so quiet here.  I am still gathering up things that were left here and trying to get things back into normal shape in my house.  Anj and family arrived home safely.  I miss them all.  It is almost too quiet here now.  I am pretty much recovered today.  Did a lot of Costco shopping and have been doing some needed cleaning.

I am loving the Photo A Day, grammadee.  I have done some of the prompts out of order, but I'm still plugging along. 
Love seeing all your photos!

Today's shots are gorgeous.

kellyr21 Palm tree girls unite! Love seeing them although I'm lucky to be in a region where there are plenty of them.

msliz So green! Everything around here is already dying away. The sudden heat has made all the water we had accumulated during the winter and surprisingly rainy spring evaporate, alas. Love seeing a lush garden right now!

ecvnj58 Your beautiful photos remind me to make sure I take my camera out for the final stretch of this PhAD month. I've been using my phone camera far too much. Lovely composition. The large navy strip at the top of her T-shirt creates such a great contrasting cut through the taupe background. Very well positioned and captured! Congrats.

nylene Your home does look serene, I agree with grammadee. I'm glad to hear you had some quiet time after the cardmaking (lovely Father's Day card, by the way).

grammadee Ceramics too? You're such an accomplished crafter! Love these little woody creatures having found their forever home inside yours. Sleepy's pouty lips made me smile... I have fond memories of my mother reading the Will Huygen book about gnomes when I was little.

Here's today's shot. Another one for the looking up prompt, I guess?

Day 19
Every plane that passes above my head reminds me that my summer holiday is only weeks away. I'll be glad to escape the everyday for a while!

Great photos, everyone!


6. Door

Went down to the gas station for ice cream cones and this Sandhill crane was trying to sneak in the door each time a customer went in or out. It was funny to watch but one man tried to smack it on the head.

What awesome pics you all have shared.

betty that bird really wanted to go shopping! LOL

sleepingbooty- OMG that shot of the airplane streak is just amazing with the sun popping in. So glad you and nylene liked the palm tree pics. I think they are fabulous too.

scrapincin- Those do look like fun games.

kellyr21 ...I may or may not love singing out loud to youtube music... LOL
ecvnj58 , your tiny friend is absolutely ADORABLE!
sleepingbooty , your waterfront photos are lovely. I like the word "saily". 

18. Him..
yep it is a "him" and his three other little piggy siblings came out of the grass and scattered around me on my walk this morning ..

I was more worried about HER....mama pig! I knew she was nearby (and she did later show herself by crossing the trail).
She is big and makes really scary noises each time I've seen her.
I am absolutely terrified of those big feral hogs.

I'm in central Florida, south of Orlando and Disney World.
Lots of lakes, swamps and rural land around here for all of the wildlife.

sleepingbooty, that looks like some heavy reading, but I love that lion! Your plane photo is beautiful. Are you going somewhere fun for holiday?

scrapincin, those games look like fun. We love playing games with all the kids here. DH is not much of a game player when it's just the 2 of us.

betty, I can't believe someone would be mean to that crane! Now, I'd be nervous around the mama feral pig! Great photos.

warrior1991, I'll bet that's the only time that shop is quiet...when everyone has left!

kellyr21, great photo for music! I had to pull some up and listen a while.

grammadee, I have a DQ on the corner of our block. It is new and now I want to try their sundaes!

I haven't downloaded my photos yet, but will try to get to it today. I'm loving all the interesting things I'm learning.

nylene..you are making me crave ice cream! Great photos!
and LOL @ putting things in the hand of the counting man. I can just imagine the randoms things you might find.

 
16. Play.. or go fetch!
Tonight I  had a half hour to kill before picking up dd at the mall so I watched sunset at the lakefront park. I thought this gator (about 4 feet long) was eating a little turtle. Nope, he's trying to play ball!

No way! I think he ate the dog and is just keeping the ball as a trophy like a serial killer! lol
