Focus On Live Week 17 COLOR

 This week we were to focus on color....well since spring is here , I am surrounded by color. So I had a great time just clicking away.  Of course when it came time to select...a color....well that was hard so I just made a collage of my favorites. Living in the country gives you access to a TON of colors....

Enjoy!

Focus On Life Week 16 Go For A Walk

This week our fearless leader challenged us to "take a walk". Well this week for me made it impossible to just stop and go for a walk. Without all the boring details, lets just say walking was not in the cards for me this week.

BUT...I did have some pictures from a nature walk my husband and I did last year that was great fun. We got soaked not only by the rain...but by the "huge" puddles we had to walk in.  I had worn sneakers so it wasn't to bad for me, but he wore sandals....

Anyway it was great to walk and just enjoy the pure nature by ourselves. Listening to the birds, looking at the different flowers and fauna.  At one point we sat under a tree on a little bench while we waited for the rain to let up a bit.  It was fun. I would love to do it again...

Now for the picture....I have discovered the collage maker in my Picasa program so I made one picture out of many. Enjoy.  BTW - the nature trail is in Crystal River, FL. Not far from where I live.

Focus on Life Week 15 “Aged Beauty”

Like Sally I am enthralled with antiques.  And I have several around my house that have been handed down...(no not me...sydny)  Anyway, while doing some "cleaning" I came across an envelope of OLD negatives, I am talking early 1930's.  So I have started scanning them in to see what I could do to put them in our family tree album. So I present the few I have scanned with descriptions.  Enjoy!

Focus On Life: Week 14 Up Close

In today's world getting up close and personal with some one is a "violation" of  "their space".  While I can understand that sometimes you DON'T want to get that close it can't be helped.  But when Sally gave us this challenge to get up CLOSE and personal, I thought, wonderful. I have so many macro pictures of different things around where I live I could be all day with them. But, I won't do that, I will only do a couple, maybe.... Wouldn't want to put so many out there I might invade YOUR space...:-)

My computer sits in front of a window. Outside that window I have my bird feeder and bird bath, so I get quite the show every day.  But this little guy, a Black-capped Chickadee decided to come to my window for a Photo op....Couldn't turn him down....













This is a close up of a day lily that is growing in my garden. It thought spring was here....poor guy. Mother Nature really pulled on over on him....



And believe it or not, this is a really close up, close up of a new growth on our cactus out in the garden. The squirrels keep eating them so I have take pictures as soon as I see them.

Well I hope you enjoyed my little up close adventure. For more hop over to Sally's and see what everyone else is doing.  

Cheers!
